Q1. What approach [ Inhouse OR Outsource] she should take to build the
website? Justify your choice in detail.
A website is basically a publicly accessible estrade that is devoted to any specific purpose, service, or
product. It usually contains all types of multimedia files including texts, videos, pictures, etc. A website
can also contain ‘hyperlinks’ that connect it with other websites. A website can fulfill many purposes like
personal, governmental, e-commercial, and organizational. [2]

Choosing a specific way of website development services depends on many factors such as,[2]
 Cost
 Type of product
 Type of marketing strategy
 Turnover or budget
 Communication
A company can create a product website in two ways which are In House Web Development and
Outsourcing Web development. Both of the ways have their own advantages and disadvantages. In-house
Web Development is the way by which the company itself heir employees on their own and designs the
website. And Outsourcing web Development is the way by which a company heirs a 3 rd party company
that will take care of the product website. [4]

An in-house software development team is definitely a great option to create a software product. It gives
intimate experience of doing everything by own, without any external help. At the same time, such
independence makes in charge of all the successes and failures as well. A lot more expenses, Long
preparation time, A need for extensive management skills  limitations make more companies shift to the
outsourcing web development option. It also means that need to officially employ all these people by the
letter of the law of the country you live and work in.[3]

So for this scenario discussing all the above things can come to the point that, Outsourcing approach will
be better to build the website.

Cost efficiency: One of the most powerful benefits of opting to outsource web development services is
its lower price compared with in-house development. Can choose a team with a much lower hourly rate
than teams in country charge, without quality loss. Besides, when hiring an outsourcing web development
team, don’t need to worry about such expenses as office maintenance, recruiting, or sick leaves. All the
organizational expenses lie on the team cooperate with.[3]

Necessary talent pool: Outsourcing opens a lot of doors. No longer need to look for a necessary
specialist in city only but can expand search area to the whole world. [3]

Team scalability: An outsourcing team is a flexible team that you can resize when there’s a necessity.
If it turns out that need to launch product faster, a team can engage more developers to deliver product on
time.[3]

Easy management: An experienced external team is an independent unit that aims at deliver the
product that can satisfy all business needs on-time and within budget. Such a team doesn’t require
babysitting and micromanaging.[3]

Technology and Resources: Extensive resources, all types of experts and technology available.[2]

From the budget, requirement and plan Outsourcing planning is best to built the website.
