How much does a website cost?
It is impossible to estimate the cost of a website project without first understanding the type of website you are looking for and how many pages it will have. Our prices are competitive and we never want to lose a potential client because of money.
What are our payment structures?
After we talk with you (in person, by phone, or by email) and have a good understanding of your website goals, we will give you two quote options:
1. An annual hosting cost and a one-time website design cost. The annual hosting cost will be due up front, half of the design cost will be due when the design of the main page is finished and approved by you, and the remainder will be due when the website is finished and live.
2. A recurring monthly cost that includes hosting, the site’s design, website updates, Search Engine Optimization, and a complete site redesign every two to three years. A minimum commitment of 18 months is required with this option.
What software do we use to build websites?
We use DreamWeaver, Flash Professional, PhotoImpact, and PhotoShop. Programming is done in HTML, Flash, and PHP depending on your project’s specific needs.
How do we host websites?
We lease a high-end server in a secure and redundant environment. Our hosting provider gives us 24-hour technical support, multiple connections to the Internet, and diesel generators. Our up-time is 99.99% or higher.
What marketing services do we provide?
We offer photography, graphic/logo design, and text writing/editing services.
How long does it take to design a website?
Assuming you have all of the content ready (texts, pictures, and logo), a site can be designed in as little as a week. However, the process rarely goes that fast because time is needed to allow for back and forth email communications during the design process. A realistic timeframe is two to four weeks.
What if your website needs to be updated?
All website projects come with a free 30-day editing window. This includes changing pictures, texts, or making minor updates to the design. Beyond the 30-day window, an hourly rate will apply and will be quoted to you as part of your overall quote. If you choose a monthly payment option, all updates will be included. |
