Website development services from an IT firm

Website development services cover everything it takes to build and run a site: deciding what it has to do, designing how it looks and works, writing and testing the code, launching it and keeping it secure afterwards. A business website, a web portal and a web application each need a different mix of those parts.

Many organizations end up with a site built by one company, hosted by another and looked after by nobody. SNATEK is an IT firm that builds websites and also runs the systems around them, so one team answers when something needs attention.

Build

One team plans, designs and develops the site around what it has to do.

Secure

Hosting, backups and security settings are set up as part of the build.

Maintain

Updates, monitoring and changes carry on after launch.

Business website development, web portals and web applications

Four kinds of project, each with its own demands. Pick the closest fit and we will shape the scope with you.

Business websites

The site customers and prospects visit first: your services, locations, contact forms and the pages that explain what you do. Layouts adapt to phones, tablets and desktops, and headings and links are structured so search engines and screen readers can follow them.

  • Responsive design
  • Contact forms
  • Clear navigation

Web portals

A secure place where clients, members or staff sign in to find documents, check the status of a request or submit information. Access is set by role, so each person sees only what is theirs.

  • Sign-in
  • Documents
  • Role-based access

Web applications

Software that runs in the browser and supports how you work: booking, intake, dashboards and internal tools. Built around your process and connected to the systems you already run.

  • Custom features
  • Integrations

Other web-based projects

A campaign page, an online form that feeds your existing systems, a calculator, a members area. If it runs in a browser, tell us what it has to do.

  • Landing pages
  • Online forms

How a custom website development project runs

Website design and development follows five steps, in the same order every time. Discovery produces the scope and the schedule.

  1. Discover

    We learn what the site has to do, who uses it and what it connects to. You get a written scope and a plan before design starts.

  2. Design

    Page layouts and visual style are drawn up and reviewed with you on phone and desktop screens before any code is written.

  3. Build

    Our developers build and test the site. Forms, integrations and security settings are configured as part of the build, not added afterwards.

  4. Launch

    We test links, forms and accessibility, set up backups and monitoring, then take the site live at a time that suits you.

  5. Keep it running

    After launch we handle updates, backups and monitoring, and make changes as your organization changes.

Secure hosting, backups and monitoring after launch

A website is a system like any other. It needs patches, backups and someone watching it.

Secure hosting

The site runs on hosting set up with encrypted connections, limited admin access and a record of who can change what. If you already have a host you want to keep, we work with it.

Backups you can restore

Site files and databases are copied on a schedule and restored in tests, the same way we treat every system in our backup and recovery work.

Monitoring and updates

We watch the site for downtime and errors and apply software updates and security patches, as part of our managed IT services.

Security

Admin access is limited and protected with multi-factor sign-in where the site allows it, and security settings are reviewed after changes. See our cybersecurity services for how we protect the rest of your systems.

Accessibility

Headings, color contrast, keyboard use and form labels are checked against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. Government and healthcare buyers often have accessibility requirements of their own.

One team for the website and the IT behind it

Website trouble often starts where hosting, domains, email and the people who understand them are spread across several vendors.

Website development FAQ

What are website development services?

Website development services cover the technical work of building a website or web application: planning, design, programming, testing, launch and ongoing maintenance. Good providers also look after the parts around the site, such as hosting, backups, security updates and monitoring, so the site keeps working after launch.

What is custom website development?

Custom website development means the layout, features and content structure are planned around your needs instead of adapting a generic template. It suits organizations with specific workflows, integrations or branding requirements, such as a client portal, a booking process or a form that feeds another system.

What is the difference between a website, a web portal and a web application?

A website presents information to anyone who visits. A web portal asks people to sign in and shows each of them their own documents, records or requests. A web application does work: it takes input, applies your rules and produces a result, such as a booking or an intake workflow. Many projects combine all three.

How long does website development take?

It depends on the number of pages, the features, the integrations and how quickly content and feedback arrive. A focused business website takes less time than a portal with sign-in and connections to other systems. Discovery ends with a written scope and a schedule, so you see dates before design begins.

How much does website development cost?

Cost depends on the same things as timing: pages, features, integrations and hosting needs. We agree the scope and the cost with you in writing before design starts, and we explain what hosting and maintenance involve so nothing surprises you after launch.

Will the website work on phones and tablets?

Yes. Every page is designed for phone, tablet and desktop screens, and we test menus, forms and layouts on real devices before launch. Responsive design is part of every build, not an extra, and so is checking that text is readable and buttons are easy to tap.

Do you host and maintain the websites you build?

We can. Hosting, backups, security updates and monitoring are handled by engineers who also run managed IT for our clients, so you call one team, through our support services. If you already have a host you want to keep, we work with it and take care of maintenance on top.

Who owns the website and the domain?

You do. The domain and hosting accounts are set up in your organization’s name, and the documentation for how the site is built is yours on request. If you ever want to change provider, you have what you need to do it.

Can you redesign or take over an existing website?

Yes. We start by reviewing what you have: how it is built, where it is hosted, who has access and what needs fixing. Then we recommend whether to update the site, move it or rebuild it, and agree the scope with you before work begins.

Is the website accessible to people with disabilities?

We build with accessibility in mind: headings in a logical order, enough color contrast, full keyboard use, text descriptions for images and labeled form fields. We check these against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines before launch, and we ask about any requirements of your own in discovery.

Where is SNATEK based, and who do you build websites for?

Our office is in Cooper City, Florida, in Broward County. We build and run websites for businesses, cities, clinics and other organizations across Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties, and we support clients in Haiti and the Caribbean. To see the kinds of organizations we work with, read our case studies.
