Why Choose Us?

The pageface may be the first e-commerce website on the market with a focus on website development services. We aim to create high-quality websites at reasonable prices for you. Creating a website is a significant strategic investment, and it is not easy to create a satisfactory website in the current mixed market of website construction.

Is the investment in creating a website worth it in 2024?

Webfx's survey data for 250 professional marketers in the United States shows that the answer is affirmative.

The survey results show: 82% of businesses are satisfied with the results and return on investment (ROI) of Web development^[1]. By optimizing website development according to your needs and goals, you can improve the performance of your website in search results, attract more web traffic, and win more conversions and sales for your business.

The search market Google remains strong

Google has not publicly disclosed its search data, but it is estimated that there are more than 80 billion visits per month^[2], with an average of three to four searches per person per day. Google's share of the global search market is over 90%^[3], while Bing is the world's second-largest search engine, with about 4% of the search market share. With the development of AI technology, Bing has also joined the artificial intelligence Copilot, but this seems to have a minimal impact on Google.

Therefore, using websites to acquire customers through search engines remains the first choice for digital marketing strategies.

The digital world continues to expand

Another data point worth noting is that by 2024, the digital world will have about 1.09 billion websites^[4]. Every day, 252,000 new websites are created, adding color to the diverse and growing online world. Among them, there are 192,888,216 active websites, which are important nodes in the vast network of global connections and information exchange. This growth and activity illustrate the continuous evolution and expansion of the Internet.

If you recognize the feasibility of creating a website, we will introduce the reasons for choosing us from the aspects of working methods, technology, and achieving goals.

Why choose us?

Innovative pre-development model

Innovation is a key factor in driving businesses forward. As a professional website development company, we have adopted the pre-development model for the first time. By using pre-developed, well-designed website templates and components, we provide you with a fast, efficient, and low-cost solution. Here are some advantages of using this model:

1. It can significantly shorten the project's startup time, meaning we can deliver the product to you faster.
2. In the prefabricated mode, you can fully experience the functionality of the directly deliverable website project solutions. For commercial website HTML templates, you can preview the related website prototypes, design elements, and layouts in the database, so you can choose the website prototype you are satisfied with, saving you time and reducing communication costs and risks.
3. It improves development efficiency, allowing us to focus more on development itself and write high-quality program code.
4. It reduces costs, enabling us to provide you with unparalleled value.

Traditional website creation process

Requirement collection -> Content and function planning -> Style design and front-end development -> Function development and testing -> Project delivery and deployment

The personnel involved in these stages may include: customer service staff, requirement analysts/product managers/project managers, UI/UX designers, front-end engineers, back-end engineers, and testers.

Therefore, the personnel and work invested in creating a website project are enormous, and the price is quite expensive.

Pageface Store's website creation process

At Pageface Store, you have two options for creating your website:

1. Select a deliverable website in the store -> Purchase the plan -> Delivery and deployment
2. Select a website template from the database (not limited to the template library of the page, but also includes third-party platforms) -> Order the development service of the technology stack -> Function development and testing -> Delivery and deployment

Compared to the traditional website project development workflow, we have abandoned the independent design stage and instead used commercial website templates from professional design platforms. The main reason is the costs and numerous challenges associated with website design.

Using Commercial Website Templates

Why do we choose commercial website templates from platforms as our front-end solution?

High Quality and Rich Styles

On designer-oriented platforms like Themeforest, there are thousands of different types of website template projects, covering various industries and purposes, from corporate websites to e-commerce, blogs, portals, and more. This diversity allows us to choose the most suitable template according to our own needs. They are usually developed by experienced designer teams or studios who have a deep understanding of design and user experience, ensuring that the appearance and functionality of the templates are of professional standards.

As of May 2024, Themeforest has over 19,700 website HTML template projects, and the official claim is "projects created by our global community of independent designers and developers, which we believe have all been hand-reviewed," fully meeting the website needs of different fields, something traditional website design companies cannot achieve.

The TemplateMonster platform has 5,573 website HTML templates.

Low Cost for Excellent Design

The completion of a website front-end HTML template requires graphic designers and front-end engineers. This could be two positions or one position to complete. Graphic designers determine the design elements and visual themes according to customer needs to finalize the website effect picture, which is then reconstructed into template files by front-end engineers using HTML, CSS, and JS. Of course, the work of constructing template files requires very high demands on front-end engineers. An experienced front-end engineer should use HTML tags reasonably and write high-quality code that meets SEO standards.

The final cost depends on the number of pages and the time invested by the relevant personnel. For example, for a small to medium-sized corporate website with less than 10 pages, the price is usually between $2,000 and $10,000.

However, on Themeforest, we usually only need between $30 and $100 to obtain a high-quality website HTML template.

Strict Selection Criteria

To select high-quality front-end templates from so many works requires a lot of review and testing work. Our selection criteria:

1. Compliant with HTML5 standards, high-quality code writing standards, code is concise, ensuring readability, maintainability, and scalability.
2. Complies with SEO best practice standards, correct use of semantic tags, more favored by search engines.
3. Responsive design, cross-device accessibility, providing a good user experience whether on desktop computers, tablets, or mobile phones.
4. Good visual effects and user experience.

Reasonable and Transparent Pricing

The cost of website creation and maintenance is a factor for businesses to decide whether to establish a website. Depending on the size of the website and the features planned by the company, building and maintaining a website can be expensive.

According to WebFX^[5], the price range for a commercial website is from $1,000 to $145,000, but maintenance costs are an additional $3,600 to $50,000.

Website Builder (a SaaS service, non self-hosted deployment) costs $0 to $500 per month, with additional maintenance costs of about $0 to $5,400 per year.

The founder and president of Mangrum Solutions, Anjela Mangrum, claims^[6]:

The main reason most businesses do not have a website is largely because people mistakenly think that websites are always expensive, and many business owners who are not very tech-savvy are also afraid of the idea of managing and constantly updating a website.

Therefore, in today's competitive market environment, website developers not only need to provide high-quality technical development services but also face the challenge of reducing costs to increase their competitiveness.

As mentioned above, PageFace Digital Store has changed the working mode of traditional website development agencies. Through human resource optimization and carefully selected development technology stacks, we have maximized development efficiency, thereby significantly reducing development costs. This not only allows us to respond quickly to market changes but also enables us to offer more competitive prices to our customers.

Focusing on Digital Marketing

Helping you achieve business growth through your website is our primary goal.

Strengthening Brand Building and Trust

A corporate website is the facade of a business brand, which can intuitively display the company's image, culture, philosophy, products, and services. A professional and beautiful website can establish a good brand image for the company, winning user trust and favor.

According to Google's statistics, about 46% of users search for local information on Google search engines, such as "restaurants nearby" and "lawyers nearby," etc. This means that many users are looking for service providers close to their location. Therefore, Google Local Services will also become one of their preferred platforms for finding local services. Having a website link in Google Local Services can increase the trustworthiness and credibility of a business. For users, Google is a trusted search engine, and business website links appearing in Google Local are more trusted by users, who consider them to be reliable merchants or service providers.

Search Engine Optimization

In the world of digital marketing, Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is an indispensable element. It's not just about search rankings; it's about ensuring that your website can attract the right visitors, increase exposure, and convert them into customers, which is a reflection of the website's value. Websites that implement SEO best practices have a better chance of standing out from the competition.

Therefore, creating a high-quality website that is loved by users and search engines is our primary goal. By optimizing the structure, speed, security, and accessibility of the website, we ensure that search engines can effectively crawl and index the website content.

Technical SEO

Technical Search Engine Optimization refers to improving your website on a technical level to make it easier for search engines to find, understand, and index your website content. It is the foundational work of digital marketing/search engine optimization, ensuring:

1. Website Accessibility

A stable, reliable, and fast-responding website is more favored by users and search engines. If search engines cannot access the pages on your website, no matter how valuable your content is, it will not appear in search results.

2. Use of Semantic Tags

Making the website content understandable to search engines is often complex for non-technical people because it operates behind the scenes. However, it is a very important way to communicate with search engines and also tests the professional level of developers. Some examples include:

• Hreflang tags for multilingual support: Using Hreflang to handle content in multiple languages, informing search engines that there are different language versions of the page.
• Use of the alt attribute for images: Allowing search engines to correctly identify their content and present it in image search results.
• Support for HTTPS access: Google considers the security of a website as one of the important signals. Using HTTPS encrypted connections can protect the data transmission between the website and users, so Google tends to rank HTTPS websites higher.
• Use of the canonical tag rel="canonical": If there are multiple versions of the same content on the website (for example, http and https versions, www and non-www versions, versions with GET parameters), specifying a primary canonical version ensures that search engines focus the weight on this version, improving the page's ranking and search visibility.
• robots.txt, title, description,<h1-h6> related content tags
• ...

3. Excellent User Experience

User experience is an important factor in how search engines judge the value of a website. User access speed, dwell time, and the accessibility of pages on different devices all affect the user experience. Ensuring that the website is accessible on mobile devices is crucial; if a user accesses a website page that is not compatible with mobile devices, they are likely to leave quickly and develop a trust crisis with the website and business.

In North America, 45% of web traffic comes from mobile devices, and another set of data indicates that if a website is mobile-friendly, the likelihood of users making a purchase increases by 67%.

4. Logical and Hierarchical Page Structure

It is common to see links to other sections on the homepage, such as products, services, news, cases, etc. Opening these sections will link to various subpages on the website. A clear and hierarchical structure allows search engine crawlers to better capture website content. At the same time, content editors also need to establish internal links appropriately when editing content.

Pure Open Source Platform/Self-Hosted Deployment

Based on Open Source Software and Platforms

From development to deployment, we base all our project development on a pure open-source technology stack. Depending on the project requirements, we use two types of technology stacks, both of which are open-source software and platforms:

• LAMP stack - Linux operating system, Apache server, MySQL database, and PHP programming language
• NodeJS stack - Linux operating system, Nginx server, Mongodb / PostgreSQL / SQLite database, and Node.js programming language

In today's rapidly changing technological world, open-source software (OSS) has become an important driving force for innovation and development. Open-source software is usually free or provided at a very low cost, which is a huge advantage for projects with limited budgets.

In addition to cost-effectiveness, it is also based on considerations of software quality, security, flexibility, and sustainability. The open nature of open-source software means that thousands of developers can review and improve the code, which often leads to higher software quality.

Self-Hosted Deployment

Self-hosted deployment offers a range of advantages, including complete control and ownership. Users can configure, customize, and manage data according to their own needs. This private deployment method enhances privacy and security because users can implement strong security measures such as encryption, access control, and regular updates. Self-hosting can also be cost-effective in the long run, although the initial setup cost may be higher, it can avoid long-term subscription fees or licensing fees.

Long-Term Technical Support

Websites require continuous updates and maintenance to maintain their competitiveness on the Internet. Long-term technical service support is crucial for businesses. We provide reasonably priced maintenance services, which mainly include:

1. Partial adjustments to website pages and content, including layout/style/content, etc.
2. Ensuring continuous operation and optimization of the website. As website data and traffic increase, performance optimization becomes particularly important. The technical support team can identify potential issues through regular checks to ensure the website operates 24/7.
3. Search engine optimization suggestions, timely diagnosis, and adjustments to content and performance in search engines.
4. Emergency recovery from website inaccessibility and server downtime, with cause diagnosis.
5. Regular data backups.

Note: Functional development is not within the scope of technical maintenance services. Development work is assessed and priced based on requirements and workload.
