Web Development
Modern technologies play one of the most important roles in human life. Statistics shows that on average, every person on the planet spends about three hours on the Internet every day. People’s hunger for information implies more Internet traffic, which in turn, leads to an ever-increasing demand for goods and services. Where there is demand, there will be supply. These days, companies make a vast majority of their sales on the Internet. Therefore it is necessary for a business to have a website in order to succeed in today’s world.
A lot of entrepreneurs still do not take websites seriously. And to their own detriment. In this day and age, there are hardly any people left on the planet who wouldn’t look to buy a product or service on the Internet. Companies that have their own websites certainly have an advantage over those that don’t.
ITLab Studio develops a whole host of web applications: from basic websites to enterprise apps. WordPress, OpenCart, Magento are the CMS tools we use to build web apps. When developing complex applications or unique functionalities, our specialists turn to the following frameworks: Symfony, Laravel, Yii2, CodeIgniter, FuelPHP, Phalcon.

A web resource can save a massive amount of time. Through a website you can advertise your business, provide the customer with quick access to the information they need as well as make sure they can buy a product or service without leaving the page they are on, should they wish to do so.
● Crafting a company image. A website creates a positive image of your company on the Internet, enhances the status of the business, improves customer loyalty and helps increase the number of potential customers by informing users about your business. A website is the face of your company. You can provide all the necessary information to your customers, leave your contact details so that they can get in touch with you; a map can be added, on which you can show the location of your office, indicate opening hours and a lot more. All this will work 24/7 and inform your potential customers about your business.

Planning
