A website design project can vary greatly depending on a multitude of factors, including the size of the website and the type of website (brochure style or e-commerce, for example), and how much customization you want. No two website projects are the same; for this reason, our pricing structure is flexible and customized based on the specific needs of your project. Our website design projects are custom-tailored to the client, so providing a cost without knowing precisely what you want isn't easy. For those reasons, we can't give a price here, but we can say that sizes range between $2,500 and $5,000, and can go much higher. We don't believe in nickel-and-diming our clients; as long as the project scope doesn't change, we adhere to the cost of the estimate. We are always open to working within any budget. Please contact us to receive a detailed quote and schedule an initial consultation.
Website maintenance is a crucial part of owning a website, and it is also the most overlooked aspect. A website must be updated often to keep your business information correct and in front of your clients. Just like the content needs to be kept up to date, the code behind the website must constantly be updated and secure. Many website plugins get updated at least once a month, if not more often. These updates are feature releases and often security updates, patching security holes and vulnerabilities. Check out our website maintenance page for more information about website maintenance.
You’re welcome to be as involved as you’d like – but we’ll realistically only need a few hours from you (at the start and towards the end of the project) as long as you are available to answer questions when they arise. Please let us know at the initial consultation meeting if you want to be more involved. During that initial meeting, be prepared to educate us on your business and its model, so we have a solid understanding of your business. Just remember that you hire a professional, as they see the topic/skill, so please consider our comments and requests as we try to steer your project in the direction that we know works best.
The information you need to provide will vary depending on your business type. However, you will need to provide text and images for the About Us page (a significant page that should not be overlooked) and the services/products pages. If writing the content is not something you'd like to tackle, we can do this for you for a small extra fee. If we are building you an e-commerce page, you will also need to provide information and photos of the products/services you are selling online. We are available for hire to draft that text and take those photos as well if you desire.
A website can usually be completed in 6-8 weeks, but much of this depends on the client and how quickly we receive the content for the site, as well as how ready that content is for publication. We can complete a website quickly if needed, but we will require all the content to be ready for us to use. Our current workload also plays a big part in how long it will take to complete a web design project. We operate on a First-In, First-Out (FIFO) basis, which means we handle the clients in the order they sign and pay for their projects.
How we receive the content from you is a huge factor. We have received content in digital format, all proofread and ready for publishing, as well as content written on napkins and sticky notes. One is going to take less of our time than the other.
We will first layout several mockups of what we envision your new website looking like. You will get three revisions at this stage. This is your time to make major changes, like colors, location of elements, and overall design flow. Once we are in agreement, we start to layout the website following the roadmap laid out from the previous step. Once we have the website laid out, you will have three additional revisions. This is the time to make minor changes, such as images and wording. At the end of the day, we won't rest until you are satisfied, but if we are at the end of the project and you want to change the colors, it will severely delay the timeline of the project and likely the cost. Once you are happy with the look and feel, we make sure the website goes through our rigorous quality control process before it is launched and made live to the public.
We use Photoshop to layout the mockup of the website, and then we use WordPress as it affords us the ability to really customize the website to what you want. WordPress is also a great foundation for Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and Ask/Answer Engine Optimization (AEO).
We can build pretty much anything, we have built portals, e-commerce stores, business brochure sites, blogs, and services directories and much more. We specialize in small/medium business and non-profit business websites, but we have built larger projects as well. Our experienced team is able to cater to all your web design needs.
Our process begins with a thorough understanding of your business goals, target audience, and industry landscape. We will sit with you and discuss all these aspects, and then we will answer your questions about the project. Based on the information collected from this initial meeting, we will layout a custom web design project for your business.
We design everything in-house, likely by our lead designer Joe, unless specifically requested, we do NOT farm any of our work overseas (unless that is what you want).
Yes, we prioritize designing websites that are mobile-friendly and responsive. This means that your website will work on mobile devices (i.e., smartphones, tablets, and laptops), allowing the website to properly be formatted to the different screen sizes and resolutions. This will improve the overall experience of your clients who are using your website.
Yes, we design websites using the content management systems (CMS) called WordPress, which allow you to easily update your content without needing advanced technical skills. We also provide training and documentation to help you manage your website effectively. If updating it yourself is not something you desire to do, we offer maintenance packages. We can manage as little or as much of your website as you desire. We are your web partner.
You will own the completed project (website, logo, graphics...) once you have paid in full, and then eight (8) weeks after (to avoid chargebacks), we sign the project over to you and you own it. We hate to have to wait eight weeks, but we have had a couple of unscrupulous clients in the past who have taken the design projects, paid, then did a chargeback, effectively stealing the work from us, and continued to use the website for years after.
Unfortunately, many business owners underestimate the importance of a quality website. But it’s something that your visitors will not only pay attention to, but will also use when determining your perceived value. Think about it, if you visit a website for a local restaurant and the photos of the food shown on the website are not appealing or appetizing, how likely are you to visit that restaurant?
