Not all websites are created equal. They vary on the level of design and functionality needed. Thus, the price varies as well.
Our hourly rate is $60. Worry not, we do offer discounts to non-profits, micro-businesses, startups (cause we are a fan of startups), affiliated companies, and special circumstances. Just reach out!
Although the first estimate we will agree upon will seem fixed, we do not offer a fixed-price contract.
We will give you a general estimate based on our initial conversation. Estimates are based on the number of hours that will be spent on the project.
Even if we are already working on your website and then you wish to add more, just notify us and will give you another estimate for the additional hours of labor.
With this setup, your idea is not going to be your last. You can change your mind anytime.
The Process
Send us a request.
Fill out the form on the bottom of this page briefly describing what you are looking for.
What if I don't have a design yet?
Don’t worry. Many of our clients prefer we come up with the design. We just need a list of the pages and sub-pages (including the number of products if the website is an ecommerce site), design features, and functions (e.g. custom contact form, eCommerce, blog, etc). Then, inclide 3 of your favorite websites and what design elements you like about them. That is usully enough to help us get started.
Then, let’s talk.
After receiving your request, we will contact you. We may have a brief conversation over the phone, Skype, or email is all. Let’s determine if we’re a good fit for each other. We can also send a project manager to walk you through the entire process and assist you all throughout.
We’ll estimate the cost and send you a quote.
We review your information and get you an estimated number of hours required to complete this project. We will send you the estimate within two business days.
Do you include mock ups or previews for me to review?
Usually we agree on a direction and we design it along the way based on our initial discussion. If you require a mock up to approve in advance, we charge $800 for a homepage mock up, then, $200 for first inner page, and $50 per page after that. Each hour of revisions is $100 per hour. We will include these additional charges in the estimate if requested.
We’ll plan our timetable and lay every process down.
Once you have approved our estimate, we receive final images, content, and deposit, we create a schedule. Typically, projects start about 5 days later. The default time frame is 4-6 weeks depending on the scope of the work. We will indicate it in the schedule of work.
What if I need the site done sooner?
With an additional fee, we can put a rush on a project but it depends on how soon you need it and how big the project is. Each rush scenario is different so we can discuss this should the need arise.
We’ll send you an invoice for the deposit.
A deposit of 50% of the estimate is required to start the project. Upon completion of the project, you will be invoiced for the remaining unpaid hours. The deposit rate is negotiable, just reach out to us.
Do you offer fixed price contracts?
Typically, no. We know from experience that fixed-priced contracts are rarely beneficial to you, as they often limit you to your earliest ideas. We don’t want to limit your ability to change your mind or add new requests. We will take your scope of work and break down each item each with its own estimate for your approval, if you have a great idea for something new or simply change your mind, no problem. We woll up those requests into another estimate and you can make a business decision about spending money on those items.
Then, we start building your website.
We build your WordPress site on our local development servers. Note that you can still send further requests during this period. Just reach out to us.
We test, test, test, and test everything.
We test our work on current versions of major desktop browsers including those made by Apple (Safari), Google (Chrome), Microsoft (Internet Explorer/Edge), and Mozilla Firefox.
We make revisions, improvements, or alterations.
We receive your feedback and make revisions until you are 100% satisfied with our results. Minor revisions are free of charge.
Finally, we launch your new website!
We will invoice you for the balance of unpaid hours on this project and once the payment is received, we will move the website to its final destination (your own server).
