Do you need a website if you are on social media?
Social media is where people discover you; a website is where they check you are real and find the details. A good website gives you a home that you own, which no algorithm change can take away. It shows up when people search your business name, it can rank for searches like "school in Modinagar" or "furniture shop Meerut", and it is where you send people from ads, visiting cards and your Google Business Profile.
For many small businesses, a simple, fast site with five to eight pages is all that is needed. For businesses that sell products online, an online store makes sense.
Which platform is right for you
| Platform | Best for | Things to know |
|---|---|---|
| WordPress | Service businesses, schools, clinics, blogs and sites that need many pages | Flexible and easy to edit. Needs regular updates and security care. |
| Shopify | Online stores selling products across India | Hosted for you, with payments and shipping apps. Monthly platform fees apply. |
| Static build | Simple business sites, landing pages and campaign pages | Very fast and very secure, with almost no maintenance. Content changes go through us or a simple editor. |
We recommend a platform after understanding what you sell, who will update the site and your budget. If you are moving an online store from WooCommerce, read our WooCommerce to Shopify migration guide.
What every ArcBig website includes
- Mobile-first design: most of your visitors are on phones, so we design for the phone first.
- Speed: compressed images, minimal plugins and clean code, because slow pages lose visitors.
- Clear calls to action: call, WhatsApp and enquiry buttons where people expect them.
- Basic SEO: page titles, descriptions, headings, a sitemap, structured data for your business and a clean URL structure.
- Google tools: Google Analytics and Search Console set up, and your Google Business Profile linked to the site.
- Security basics: SSL (https), sensible user accounts and, for WordPress, backups and updates.
- Your ownership: the domain and hosting are in your name, and you receive all logins.
Our process
- Discovery call: your business, customers, competitors and the pages you need.
- Proposal: platform, page list, features, timeline and a fixed written quote.
- Design: a homepage design for approval, then inner pages.
- Build and content: we build the site and help write or polish the copy in English or Hindi.
- Review: you test it on your phone and computer and request changes.
- Launch: we connect your domain, submit the sitemap to Google and check everything works.
After launch
Websites need care. WordPress sites need updates and backups; online stores need product and offer changes; every site benefits from fresh content. We offer ongoing maintenance, and if a WordPress site has already been hacked, our WordPress malware removal service cleans it up.
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to build a website?
A simple business website usually takes two to four weeks, depending mostly on how quickly content and approvals come in. Online stores take longer because of product setup, payments and shipping.
How much does a website cost?
It depends on the number of pages, features and platform. We send a fixed written quote after a short call, so you know the full cost before work begins. Domain, hosting and platform fees are separate and paid in your name.
Will I be able to update the website myself?
On WordPress and Shopify, yes, and we show you how. Static sites are updated through us or a simple editor, which keeps them fast and secure.
Do you write the content?
We can. Many clients give us the basics and we write clear, search-friendly page content, which you approve before it goes live.
Can you redesign my existing website?
Yes. We keep what is working, especially pages that already rank on Google, and set up redirects for any URLs that change so you do not lose search traffic.
