Overview
What does web development with Ants Creation include?
Ants Creation (Pvt) Ltd designs and builds websites, online stores and web applications for organisations in Sri Lanka and abroad — from a fast corporate website on WordPress to a custom e-commerce platform with its own integrations. Every project is engineered in-house in Sri Lanka by the team that supports it after launch.
Our web engineering team covers four services: custom website development, WordPress development, Shopify development and e-commerce development. When a project outgrows a website — custom workflows, integrations, back-office systems — it moves to our custom software and Vero platform teams without changing supplier.
We build for performance, accessibility and search from the first commit: fast pages on mobile, clean semantic markup, structured data and analytics configured before launch rather than added later.

Choosing
Which build do you need?
Which one fits depends on what the site has to do and who will run it. We recommend one after a short discovery call.
| Build | Best for | Learn more |
|---|---|---|
| WordPress website | Content-led sites your team updates often | WordPress development |
| Shopify store | Product brands that want hosted checkout and apps | Shopify development |
| Custom website | Unusual workflows, high traffic or deep integrations | Web design |
| Custom online store | Marketplaces, complex B2B pricing or heavy integration | E-commerce development |
| Android app | Customer, staff and field apps that connect to your systems | Android app development |
Common questions
Web development in Sri Lanka: frequently asked questions
How much does a website cost in Sri Lanka?
It depends on the number of pages and templates, the content, the integrations and whether you sell online. After a short discovery call we send an itemised quotation, free of charge. Our guide to company website costs in Sri Lanka explains the main price factors, and the e-commerce cost guide covers online stores.
How long does it take to build a website?
It depends on the size of the site, the features and how ready your content is; online stores and custom builds take longer than a company website. The timeline is agreed in the written scope before work starts, and you see the design and working pages along the way.
Should I choose WordPress, Shopify or a custom build?
WordPress suits content-led sites your team updates often. Shopify suits product brands that want hosted checkout and apps. A custom build suits unusual workflows, high traffic or deep integrations. We recommend one after discovery, based on what the site must do and who will run it day to day.
Will my website be mobile-friendly and SEO-ready?
Yes. Every site is responsive and tested on real devices, and launches with page titles, descriptions, structured data, a sitemap and analytics in place. If you are replacing a site, existing URLs are redirected so links and search history carry over. Ongoing search work is available through our SEO services.
Do you provide support after launch?
Yes. Every website, online store and app we build includes a six-month bug-fixing warranty, starting at launch. After that, ongoing support and maintenance, such as updates, fixes and new features, are provided under a service level agreement (SLA) or an annual maintenance agreement, with the fees and scope agreed separately. The same in-house team that built the site supports it, with no subcontracting, so problems go to the people who know the code.
Can one company build our website, online store and Android app?
Yes. Ants Creation’s in-house team builds websites on WordPress or custom Laravel and React, online stores on Shopify or a custom platform, and Android apps in Flutter. They can be connected to Vero CRM, Vero ERP or Vero POS & Inventory, set up per project, so customer and order data stays connected. We do not subcontract the build.
Do we get the source code for our website?
Not by default. Full source code is not included as standard with websites, custom software or platforms built by Ants Creation. If your organisation needs it, it can be provided under a separately priced source-code licence, subject to the company’s approval. If Ants Creation ever permanently ceased operations, it would provide customers’ project source code free of charge before closure.
Can you maintain a website another company built?
Yes, after a technical audit. Ants Creation can maintain websites developed by other companies, and whether we take one on depends on its technology, its condition and the access available. Updates, fixes and ongoing maintenance are then scoped and agreed separately. Hosting such websites is not a standard service. Call or WhatsApp our web team on 077 282 0498, or email hello@ants.lk.
