It sounds great, but how much does it cost?
All projects have a budget. It's true. Often times, clients play their budget card close to their chest. Perhaps there's a misconception that design firms are after every penny you have. I'm sure there are some disreputable ones out there that are. We're not.
We want to know what you're willing to invest in your project so that we can provide the most bang for your buck, so to speak. For example: a client came to us recently with a very, very modest budget for three websites. While we couldn't provide the custom solution he came for, we were able to offer WordPress consulting services. We taught him how to install WordPress on his server, helped him select themes and plugins suited for his situation, and trained him for both daily WordPress use and the inevitable upgrades, backups, etc. We were able to help him find the best solution for his budget and his needs.
This is not to say that we have a solution for every budget, but we're always willing to help you find the best solution, even if it isn't us.
Okay....so how much for a website?
Your investment in your website will depend on a number of factors, including functionality, any special requirements you may have, and your goals not only for the project but for your business or organization.. You can expect to dedicate at least $6,500 to the project.
What does that get me?
Here's what you get when you work with us on your web project:
- Kick-Off Meeting
A meeting of the minds where we take a look at your goals and your message. We mash your intimate knowledge of your clients/members with our knowledge and expertise to lay the groundwork for a fantastic project. Mind-blowing breakthroughs may occur. - Research and Doodles
We look at what other folks are doing, what your target users are looking for, and whatever's inspiring us that day, and collate all this juicy goodness into the framework and inspirations for your site. We tie everything back to your goals, with a hefty dash of creativity and a pinch of personality for good measure. - Design Time!
Starting from honest-to-goodness, paper-and-pencil scratch, we create a one-of-a kind design just for you. No pre-fabs here! Why is that important? It all comes back to those pesky goals: a site designed for someone else meets their goals, not yours. - Make it Go!
A design isn't worth much without some moving parts behind it. We take your custom design and get it up and running on the core code structure we've honed in-house over the years. Why is this important? It gives you the benefits of clean, standards-compliant, search-engine-happy-making code without the added time of from-scratch development. And we do it all (design and development) in-house for awesome quality control. (For those curious folks, we're a code-by-hand shop - Notepad++ and gedit are our tools of choice.) - Content Management System
All of our projects now come with the convenience of a content management system, making changes to your website's content as easy as pie, anytime! We use Perch for wee little sites and WordPress for blogs and larger sites. Why? Not only because we love bending them to our will, but also because we've found over and over again that they are the most user-friendly content management systems out there. - Training and Support
What good is a content management system if you don't know how to use it? PDFs, screen-sharing, online tutorials, or even in-person training if you're local - you get the tools you need to keep your site fresh. And if you ever have questions? We're here to answer them! No, really - just call/email, and we'll get you what you need to get the job done.
