FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
We have standard pricing for a basic 5-page website of $500. The details are described in the process questions. Additional components, options, and features are available as well, with pricing dependent on the type and scope of additional work required.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We have been professional web designers and development experts for close to 15 years now and have created dozens of high-quality professional portfolio, small business, and personal websites with unparalleled customer service and support. This level of experience, combined with a strong natural talent, and a driving ambition to constantly improve our techniques, gives us the unique ability to have your site up and running with a clean, professional and unique design that looks good on any laptop, desktop, phone, or tablet and all done within 48-72 hours for most normal websites. Each design is original and custom tailored to fit your specific vision and needs, whether you are starting a new small business, putting together a professional portfolio or CV, or just putting together a simple personal or family website. Your entire website could be launched and ready for business within days, rather than weeks, complete with a custom-coded, polished and distinctive website design and with a host of other incredible features included with no additional add-on fees or hidden charges. Full features include: * We will help you setup your domain name with your chosen hosting company and make sure it is pointed to the right server and correctly propagated as well as help you set up any domain-specific emails and help you get them connected and easily accessible. * Your custom web template, unique and distinctive to your site, allowing your brand to stand out among the masses. * Social media integration and simple, attractive and intuitive social media sharing solutions, focusing on the largest and most widely-known social networks to provide for maximum exposure. * Professional editing of client-provided content to take advantage of search engine optimization techniques which will drive targeted traffic focused to your site based on the key demographics you are aiming for. * Responsive coding using the latest in web development techniques and custom-tailored CSS programming to ensure your site will look as good on your cell phone as your desktop. * Up to two hours of one-on-one training in how to maintain and update your website after it has been completed. There are no yearly or monthly maintenance fees or trying to track down your webmaster to get that broken link replaced. We will train you on all the skills required to be able to quickly and confidently edit and maintain your own website without relying on anybody else for anything but a major problem. What will not be included in this package are the following: * Original content and media - You will have to provide me with what you would like each of your pages to say, along with any pictures or videos you would like to include. We will be happy to edit the content for you so that it makes the greatest impact. Before we can put anything on your pages (other than the general design template, of course), We will need some sort of content explaining what your site is all about. In the end, you are the most qualified to tell your audience about your services, and while we can edit for grammatical and search engine optimization considerations, we need a foundation to work off of. * Your domain name and web hosting will also need to be purchased before we can begin working. If you have any questions on which service to use or where to buy your domain names, however, we can certainly provide you with some suggestions and will even stay on the line with you as you set it up if you have any trouble. For instance, if you purchase a domain email we will be glad to install and set it up. * Other major feats of programming or add-on items, such as multiple user logins, affiliate shopping carts, etc. that go beyond the scope of this project are not included in this package. If you would like any of those things or some other additional functionality for your website, we are able to help with that sort of work as well, but it would be a separate project with a very different cost structure and time frame. We look forward to working with you!
