FAQ before building a website

Answers to common questions about website design, infrastructure, quotes and launching your website.

Popular questions:

The basics5 questions

What is a website?

A website is your business's official presence online. Use it to introduce your brand, products and services, receive inquiries or sell online. Depending on your goals, it may be a company profile, service website, online store, information portal or campaign landing page.

What is a domain?

A domain is the address customers use to visit your website, such as yourcompany.vn or yourcompany.com. It is an important part of your brand identity: a memorable domain helps customers find you again and makes your business look professional and trustworthy.

What is hosting?

Hosting stores all your website data on a server connected to the internet. If your domain is the address, hosting is the house: it keeps the site running, serves content, stores images and receives customer submissions.

How does a website differ from a Facebook page or marketplace?

Facebook pages and marketplaces are rented channels governed by platform algorithms and policies. Your business fully owns its website: you control data, design, content and the customer journey from browsing to purchase, and can add sales or marketing tools when needed.

Should I choose a template or custom website?

A template is a practical choice for a quick launch, modest budget and standard needs. If you need distinct branding, custom workflows, specialist features or a customer journey tailored to your business model, we recommend custom website design.

Build & operations6 questions

What should you prepare before building a website?

Define your website goals, target customers, main content sections, brand images, required features and content approver. Clear inputs help us work faster, reduce repeated revisions and keep costs manageable.

What do website development and source code mean?

They form the technical core that makes a website work: functionality, data processing, dashboard, permissions, security and future expansion. A well-built foundation makes your site easier to manage, stable and ready for new features.

What skills do I need to manage a website?

You don't need coding skills. Learn basic tasks such as updating content, images, products and banners, reviewing contact forms and checking key pages. If your business has no suitable staff, our website management service can handle regular updates and monitoring.

How long does a website project usually take?

Timing depends on design complexity, page count, custom features and your response speed. Standard websites usually take a few weeks; projects with many integrations or approval rounds take longer.

Can you update content yourself after handover?

Yes. A properly built website lets you change articles, images, products, banners and contact details without touching source code. At handover, we teach your team the basic website management tasks.

Does a website need regular backups and maintenance?

Yes. Data backups, system updates, security monitoring and error checks matter once your site is live. Without regular maintenance, sites can develop display errors, plugin conflicts, slow loading or even data loss during incidents.

Costs & scope4 Qs

What usually affects website costs?

Costs depend on design customization, page count, development features, mobile optimization, languages, external software integrations and post-handover support. Two similar-looking websites may have very different prices because their underlying operations differ.

Do website prices include domain and hosting?

It depends on the package. Some providers quote separately for clearer cost control; others include them for the first year. Ask which items are included and which recur annually before signing to avoid misunderstandings.

When should I invest in custom design instead of a basic package?

Choose custom website design for stronger branding, dedicated product or category pages, CRM, chatbot, payment or order management integrations, or a specific customer intake process. Basic packages suit a first step; custom work can be more effective as growth goals increase.

Are there costs after the website is finished?

Usually, ongoing costs include domain, hosting, SSL, business email, technical maintenance and new features. These are routine operating costs rather than unexpected extras. Budget for them upfront to keep your website stable over time.

Results & marketing5 questions

Why does a business need a website?

A website gives your business an official channel, builds customer trust, takes orders outside business hours and supports SEO, advertising, customer care and long-term branding. In many industries, customers almost always check a website before contacting a business.

Does a finished website still need marketing?

Yes. The website is your infrastructure; attracting customers and revenue still takes content, SEO, ads, social media, email marketing or suitable campaigns. Even an attractive site needs a plan to bring visitors in to deliver its full value.

Will my website appear on Google immediately?

Not always. After launch, the site needs structural optimization, sitemap submission, indexability checks and relevant ongoing content so Google can crawl and rank it over time. Treat SEO as ongoing work rather than expecting rankings immediately after handover.

What is an SEO-ready website?

An SEO-ready website has search-friendly technology and content: adequate speed, mobile-friendly display, clean code, clear URLs, appropriate title tags, logical navigation and room to expand content. It does not guarantee top rankings, but provides a foundation for effective SEO.

How do I measure results after launch?

Track metrics tied to business goals: relevant traffic, contact forms, calls, orders, time on page, bounce rate, keyword improvements and lead quality. Without targets from the start, it is difficult to assess the site's value.

Support after handover4 Qs

Does 123Website continue support after handover?

Yes. Support depends on your package and agreed scope, and you have a contact on our team for usage guidance, troubleshooting, content updates or upgrade advice when new needs arise.

Do I receive full website admin access?

A professional project hands over full website administration rights and related information within the contract scope so you control your business's digital assets. Review the deliverables before acceptance and store login details securely.

Who is website management and care for?

It suits businesses without dedicated staff or time for content updates, those needing regular security monitoring, or those wanting technical help when issues arise. It is a practical option for a stable website without handling all the technical work yourself.

Can I add features in the future?

Yes, if the website has a clear structure and flexible platform. Choose an expandable solution from the start so you can add landing pages, bookings, online payments, CRM connections or customer areas without rebuilding.
