What people arrive with
Three questions that decide a site's fate before design does
A mistake in any of them costs more than a bad typeface. You won't see it until a month later, when the site is finished and the enquiries aren't coming.
Which kind of site you actually need
A single page built for ads and a multi-page site built for search solve different problems and cost differently. The multi-page site alone needs several times more copy. What decides the format is where your visitors will actually come from, not which reference site looked nicest.
What the price is made of
A ready-made site on a subscription runs from 12,800 ₸ a month, a corporate site 14,700 ₸. Hosting, SSL, platform updates and any edits you make yourself are already in that price. A bespoke build runs from 1,500,000 ₸ for a landing page and from 3,000,000 ₸ for a corporate site. We build both, so you're never stuck switching contractors.
What has to work on day one
A form that actually reaches a person, contact details that match on every page, and a version in the language your customers speak. Skip any of the three and the design won't bring in enquiries. It'll just sit there looking nice.
The guides, in order
Each one answers a single question in full, with examples, timings and limits. The order isn't random: what you decide before you start building comes first.

Five steps from "we need a site" to "the site takes enquiries"
It's the order the work actually gets done in, not a reading list for its own sake. Steps 1 and 2 can't swap: you cost the budget against a format you've already picked.
Decide the format and the number of pages
A landing page for ads, a multi-page site for search, or a catalogue with products. Everything else follows from this, including how much copy you'll end up writing by hand.
A format and a page list
Cost both routes
A subscription to a ready-made site from 12,800 ₸ a month, or a bespoke build from 1,500,000 ₸. Look past the starting price to what each edit costs over a year. On the subscription you make the edits yourself, and they cost nothing.
A chosen route
Collect the content
Copy about you and your services, a price list, photographs, contact details and company particulars. This is the one stage no builder speeds up: you're still the one writing about your own business.
A folder of finished content
Assemble the site and switch on enquiries
Pick a ready-made niche, swap in your own copy and photographs, then check that the form actually creates an enquiry card, not just a thank-you message.
A site with a working form
Run the pre-publication checklist
Page titles and descriptions, language versions, speed, sitemap. An hour of checking saves a month of waiting in search.

What is here, and what is not
We write only about the work we do ourselves: the platform behind 26 ready-made themed sites, and bespoke builds. That's why you get real figures, timings and prices instead of a rehash of someone else's articles.

Material we write and keep up to date ourselves
- Choosing a format: landing page, multi-page site, catalogue
- A budget with real numbers: subscription from 12,800 ₸/mo, bespoke from 1,500,000 ₸
- What to prepare before assembling, as a list rather than as generalities
- The pre-publication checklist: copy, speed, languages, indexing
- How enquiries work: the form, the card, who's responsible
- What an out-of-the-ordinary job looks like, and how we build it to order

So every piece stays about work we actually do
- Guarantees of search rankings — nobody can give those
- Courses in paid search and social advertising: a different profession
- Lessons in markup and code — the platform doesn't need them
- “Top 10 website builders” rankings and reviews of other people's products
- Legal or tax advice
The priciest mistake on a website doesn't happen in the design. It happens the moment someone decides what kind of site they actually need.
That's why this knowledge base starts with format and budget, not advice about typefaces. The ordinary job — explaining who you are, showing your prices, collecting enquiries — a ready-made site on a subscription closes in minutes, from 12,800 ₸ a month. The job with logic of its own — calculations, a customer account, an exchange with your accounting system — we build to order, from 1,500,000 ₸. Both routes are ours, so the format gets chosen once and you're never stuck switching contractors.
