from "how much?" to "how?"

The question we hear most often is: "How much do you charge for a website?" We think it's a bit like asking a car dealer "How much for a vehicle?"

As this question raises more questions, let us ask you:

  • Do you have a domain registered and where, a hosting company selected, an existing site to renovate, know the platform it runs on?
  • Do you want to advertise a product or service, sell a product or service, take money deposits online, reach a specific audience?
  • Do you have a marketing plan in which a website is included? Do you have a development budget?

Often, the puzzled, slightly panicked look on faces tells us that we need to get from the "how much" to the "how".

we know how!

If you have a small business and are at all unclear about what is really required for a website to be successful, get informed first. and arrange for a non-binding general planning consultation. We'll charge for 60 minutes but give you 90.

The time will be yours to discuss web development or any related computing and/or design matter that may be on your mind. We'll cut through the jargon, answer your questions, give you some options, let you decide if you are then interested in any of our services. If you are, we'll follow up with a written project plan and estimate.

Larger businesses or organizations should generally allocate a lot more time for planning and analysis and build that time into their website development budget. Developing or renovating a large website without specifications and a clear understanding of the requirements, can turn out to be a very frustrating and expensive undertaking.

We provide estimates for any of our services. However, we are no longer able to provide detailed estimates for custom website projects for free. A written estimate for web development work is included with a prior consultation; without it, we'll charge a fee for our time. For our customers' convenience we accept deposits and payments online.

if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong."
