Pricing

How much does a website cost?

We can’t say until we know more. Websites are not one-size-fits-all: like cars or houses, they come in many shapes, sizes and prices. That being said, absent unusual circumstances, websites that we work on start around $5,000.

To give you a price, we need to know enough about your project’s requirements to make an accurate estimate of the work required. If your project requires research into the best way to solve a problem or you need information about available options and their costs, then we’ll provide an estimate for an initial Discovery Phase. Once that discovery work has been completed, we’ll be able to present an estimate for the final project.

Website maintenance & support

If you’re looking for help with an existing site, we offer maintenance and updating agreements crafted to meet the needs of your site cost-effectively and predictably. Or, if you prefer, we offer support on an hourly basis, with discounts for packages of prepaid hours. Contact us for details.

  • What does your organization or company do? How large is it? Who are your competitors and what sets you apart from them?
  • What are the goals and objectives for this project? What do you hope to achieve?
  • What is the deadline for this project? Is it tied to a specific date or event, or is it more flexible?
  • How will this project be managed within your organization–how many people will be involved? Who will need to approve the design, the content, and the final project? Who will manage and maintain the site when it is finished? How familiar and comfortable is your team with technology?
  • We ask about budget because a larger budget offers more choices, and it's important to know what options are available. If you're on a shoestring budget we'll deliver the best site we can for that budget. But that will be a different project than one with a bigger budget–and a shoestring-style project may disappoint if your budget had room for more.
  • Are there specific features you think your project will need?
  • Do you have a logo, brand colors, or any other existing visual-identity items that should be reflected in the look and feel of the project? If so, briefly describe what you have or provide links if available.
  • Is the content for the site already written? Do you have existing photos?
  • There are dozens of additional questions to ask. Here are a few to think about and try to answer.
    1. AUDIENCE: Who are the target audiences for this project: are they primarily local, regional, national, international? Are they young, old, or all over the map? Are they likely to be technically savvy? Will they be highly motivated to explore your site, or casual visitors whose interest you need to catch and hold?
    2. TONE: How would you describe your project's tone: should visitors find your site serious, friendly, casual, formal, professional? Is your project a minivan, a luxury sedan, a jeep?
    3. COMPETITORS: Who are your competitors–in your field, your geographic location, or in other relevant arenas? What do you especially like or dislike about their websites?
    4. KEY WORDS: What words or phrases will your site visitors be most likely to use to find you on a search engine? What words would you most like to appear in the results for?
