To build a site that meets your needs, we'll have to sit down and talk over cups of coffee. Or maybe skype. Or Instant Message. Or meet with the board. Whatever the medium of the meeting, though, we'll have to
plan. Because what you need is not a list of technical features scrambled together into a mess of a site that your users will get lost in. What you need is a puzzle, neatly planned and put together, so that all the pieces
fit. The corners, the edges, and the pieces in the middle.
That's how we design sites.
Here are some of the key benefits we've found through our years of development that
matter. While we may be dealing with a bunch of 1's and 0's behind the scenes, what you want are results... Here are some of the results we provide:
Simplicity
Our sites allow you to create, edit, and remove your own content. That means text, pictures, links... even entire pages.
If you have specific needs that don't "quite" fit into our system, we'll take what you need, what we have, and build you something intuitive, easy to use, and specifically tailored to your needs.
HTML is gibberish to most, and it should be. Microsoft Word (and other such applications) are not. Our system allows you to copy/paste information straight from your favorite systems directly into pages.
Confidence & Reliability
Backups, Encryption, Down-Time... you name it, we do it.
What's important here is that not only do we DO these things, but we will tell you about doing these things. Whether it's an automated email once a week telling you that your system is working fine, or a yearly review of your site to look at broken links and new opportunities, we want you to be confident that your site is doing what it was designed to do, day in and day out.
Room to Grow
We help small organizations do big things. That's our mantra. We love equipping people to do things bigger than themselves... and that means growth. To get big you must start small, and we want to help you in this manner.
Our sites are designed to grow over time. They're designed to easily add pages, change content, move things, around, and even update the entire "look and feel" every once in awhile without throwing out everything you've already done.
Relationships
We should probably mention this first, but we certainly also want it to be the last thing you hear about our design methodology. We are in this for the long haul. We're not looking to build your site and then run.
We love checkup meetings to see what else you're wanting to do, and how we can help you do it.
Our hosting packages include time for planning, user group meetings, brain storming, and end user support.
Affordability
Of course, if you're like many people, you'd love to know right up front... "what's that going to cost?" We'd love to tell you, but we can't. Because we don't know what you
need yet. Many web designers will (metaphorically) sell you a cardboard box for $50 and then tell you to live within it. Others will cut down some trees, send you to the paper mill, manufacture your own custom-labeled tape, and then build a box that's never been invented for $50,000. In the end... you still have a cardboard box, though, don't you? It is our aim to blend the best of what's already out there and what we've already built with what you specifically need to meet your needs.
But if you've got a budget, and you really, really, really want some dollar figures, here you go...
- We can build you a 1 - 10 page website for under $1,000 in many cases.
- More complex sites up to 25 pages with customization and email will range from $1,000 to $4,000
- Systems designed to a larger scale with sub-sites, large amounts of customizations, and unique solutions will range from $3,000 to $10,000.
These are very "round" numbers, and that's on purpose. We want you to get in touch with us to learn more first!
