Create vs. Renovate: How to Choose the Right Web Service

Create or Renovate: How to Choose the Right Web Service for Your Business

Every business is at a different stage of its digital journey. Some are just starting with a fresh idea, while others have an existing website that needs improvement or rescue. At Banana Navy, we offer two distinct paths to help you achieve your goals: Website Creation (From Scratch) and Project Takeover.

But which one is right for you? This guide will help you understand the differences and choose the best path for your needs.

Path 1: Website Creation (Starting from Scratch)

Who is this for?

This service is ideal if:

  • You are launching a new business or brand.
  • You want a complete rebrand and want to start fresh.
  • You do not have an existing website, or your current site is too old to salvage.
  • You want a custom design tailored specifically to your new vision.

What we do

When we build a website from scratch, we handle everything from A to Z:

  1. Identity & Strategy: We help define your online identity and target audience.
  2. Design & UX: We create a unique, modern, and user-friendly design.
  3. Development: We build the site using the latest technologies (Next.js, React, etc.) for speed and SEO.
  4. Content: We can assist with copywriting and visual assets.
  5. Launch: We handle the deployment, domain setup, and initial SEO configuration.

The Process

Our "Create Website" form guides you through:

  • Business Information: Tell us about your company and goals.
  • Style Selection: Choose the "vibe" (Modern, Luxury, Playful, etc.).
  • Features: Select what you need (E-commerce, CMS, Contact Forms).

Path 2: Project Takeover (Continue Existing Project)

Who is this for?

This service is designed for you if:

  • You already have a website or web application (in development or live).
  • You are unhappy with your current developer or agency.
  • You have unfinished code and need someone to complete it.
  • Your site has bugs, performance issues, or security vulnerabilities.
  • You want to add new features to an existing platform without rebuilding it from zero.

What we offer

We step into an existing situation and bring order to chaos:

  1. Code Audit: We analyze the existing codebase for quality and security.
  2. Bug Fixes: We resolve immediate issues and errors.
  3. Modernization: We update dependencies and improve performance.
  4. Feature Development: We build new functionality on top of the existing foundation.
  5. Ongoing Support: We provide maintenance and long-term partnership.

The Process

Our "Project Takeover" form asks for:

  • Project Status: Is it live? Is it broken?
  • Access: Do you have the source code (GitHub, etc.)?
  • Needs: Audit, Bug Fixes, New Features, or Maintenance?
