MINUSES
The minuses include:
- Websites written to order are heavily exposed to various types of hacker attacks, especially complex websites, why does this happen, because a website written to order is basically not developed unless the ordering company pays a developer’s company for regular development, unfortunately even large companies employ several dozen programmers at most, they are not able to foresee all potential attack scenarios, catch system defects. A website written to order (mainly CMS) also has limited testing environment, working on it are tens, hundreds of end-users.
- Very high price – solutions written from scratch for a specific customer unfortunately have to be paid with very high costs, effective internet sales cost, work of programmers delegated to such a project is very expensive, programmers are the best-paid group in the IT industry, costs of applications like this often exceed 50-60 thousand PLN and maintenance subscriptions for such a solution are amounts of several thousand PLN per month.
- Very long time for implementation and deployment of such a project – it’s basically re-inventing the wheel only slightly differently (individual customer needs), there are many scripts on the market that could work well if adjusted to meet the customer’s needs, but customers with a substantial portfolio would rather invest in a solution tailored to their own needs, not a custom-made solution for a small and medium-sized business
- Potential risk related to application development – e.g. due to bankruptcy of the developer company,website dies in the literal sense, unfortunately this is one of the minuses of custom solutions, entering a new company that wants to take over the development of an existing application is a potential risk, firstly cost-related and secondly operational, everything depends on how important a part of their business is the online store.
There are many minuses to websites written to order, most customers prefer solutions based on widely used “hits” such as WordPress, which is developed by thousands of programmers from around the world and its testing environment is 20% of all websites in the Internet, it’s the most powerful testing environment you can imagine, that’s why the system is so functional, customizable and secure. Thousands of programmers developing software plus millions of users from around the world make it the most popular platform for building a content management system. Giants from various industries also work on it, not just small business companies.
