How to Build a Company Website
Your company doesn't have a website — or the one you have isn't performing. Either way, you're in the right place. This guide covers how to approach building a company website: technology choices, realistic costs, the process, and what to watch out for in 2026.
Why a Company Website Is Non-Negotiable
Still thinking "we get business through referrals, we don't need a site"? Consider these realities:
- Potential clients are searching for you on Google — if they can't find you, they find a competitor
- 90% of B2B buyers research online before making a purchase decision
- After a meeting, trade show, or referral, the first thing someone does is look up your site — if it doesn't exist or looks outdated, trust is lost immediately
- Even your existing clients occasionally search for you online
Referrals are valuable. But they don't scale. A website doesn't replace the referral channel — it opens an additional one.
Technology Options for Company Websites
WordPress
The world's most widely used CMS. Advantage: large ecosystem, easy content management. Disadvantages: template-based sites tend to load slowly, security vulnerabilities are a chronic issue, and SEO potential is more limited compared to custom development.
When it makes sense: Small businesses with budget constraints, no near-term growth plans, and a need to get online quickly.
Website Builders (Wix, Squarespace)
No coding required, fast to set up. But you don't own the code — if the platform changes pricing or shuts down, you have no options. SEO potential is significantly limited. Not recommended for business use.
Custom Development (Next.js)
The dominant technology for modern web applications. Advantages: superior performance, unlimited customisation, excellent SEO potential, and long-term scalability. Disadvantage: higher upfront cost.
When it makes sense: Any business focused on growth, taking SEO seriously, and thinking long-term.
All OXY Kurumsal projects are built on Next.js. For speed, SEO, and scalability, it's the right choice by 2026 standards.
Essential Pages for a Company Website
| Page | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Home | First impression, value proposition, clear CTA |
| Services / Products | Detailed explanation of what you offer |
| About | Build trust, tell your story and team |
| Portfolio / Case Studies | Social proof, past projects, client results |
| Blog | SEO traffic, expertise demonstration |
| Contact / Get a Quote | Primary conversion point |
Depending on industry, add sector pages, FAQ, careers, or e-commerce modules.
Company Website Cost (2026)
| Scope | Price | Timeline |
|---|---|---|
| Basic corporate (5–8 pages) | $1,500–$3,000 | 3–4 weeks |
| Full corporate (10–15 pages + blog) | $3,000–$6,000 | 5–7 weeks |
| Multilingual (+ EN) | $5,000–$9,000 | 6–9 weeks |
| E-commerce included | $6,000+ | 8–12 weeks |
How the Process Works
1. Brief: Goals, scope, competitor analysis, and budget are clarified. The more detailed this stage, the smoother the project.
2. Strategy and architecture: Page structure, URL structure, keyword research, and SEO architecture are planned here — not after launch.
3. Design: Mobile-first design. Usually home page first, then other pages. Revision process is defined upfront.
4. Development: Design is coded. With Next.js, real-world performance shows up at this stage.
5. Content and testing: Copy is placed, forms tested, mobile and desktop tested, speed optimisation completed.
6. Launch and handover: Site goes live. A brief training session covers how to make content updates yourself.
Common Mistakes When Building a Company Website
"Make it look good first, SEO can come later": The most common and expensive mistake. Technical SEO must be built in from the start.
Ignoring mobile: A desktop-first approach is unacceptable in 2026. Mobile-first is mandatory.
Choosing cheap hosting: A beautiful design running on slow hosting loses both users and Google rankings.
Not preparing content: "Content isn't ready yet" is the most common cause of project delays. Have it prepared before the project starts.
Leaving the domain with the agency: Your domain must be registered in your own company's name. Always.
