Q: How much will my new web design cost?

Just like asking “how much does a house cost” the answer is actually pretty complex. Just like budgeting for a house one should budget for a website because everyone values the concept of “cost” in different ways. There’s many factors to consider when scoping a website project – and is why we need to provide an estimate with every request as we don’t sell off the shelf pre-made websites. We build custom website solutions to suit your needs. Things we most commonly look at are total number of pages, the total number of unique page templates, how many rounds of revisions there are, and any custom functionality you need created.

Do you have experience with WordPress web design?

Accepted Answer

We assess your needs and build a custom website with solutions that are principal to your future needs. We look at what you will be using the website for and build in easy to use tools that enable you to easily update the pages, tools and features you’ll need when you launch your website.

Question 10

Do you optimize websites for mobile?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We only design and build custom websites for mobile in fact. Our websites are what is called responsive web design. Responsive website design is an approach to web page creation that makes use of flexible layouts, images that are flexible, and flexible CSS. Building a responsive website ensures that whatever the users screen orientation or screen resolution will automatically adjust the website to fit the device – whether mobile, tablet, laptop or desktop.

Question 11

Will I own the website once it’s launched?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Unlike some web design agencies, we do not require you host your website with us. Website hosting is merely a storage location for your website to be accessed on the internet. It’s a common misconception that if a web design company hosts your website, its somehow going to be better maintained. This isn’t always true! When you host your website under your own account with a company such as Siteground.com or Bluehost.com, you own it! You pay directly annually to the hosting company and not to a middle man local company who’s only open 9am – 5pm five days a week. When you have direct ownership of your hosting, if there’s an emergency, you can call your hosting provider 24/7.

Question 12

Will I be able to make changes and updates on my own, and to what extent?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We always build our websites as WordPress Web Design. WordPress allows you to easily make edits. We also provide you with an include free training session and aftercare support if you or a team member ever need a refresher. All of our WordPress Web Design projects are custom made and tailored to suit your company needs. Whether you need text changes, photos changed, testimonials or blogs added, WordPress allows you to do most anything.
