We work with a broad range of company types [small start-ups, large corporations, nonprofits, B2B, B2C and more] across many business industries [technology, food, apparel, health + beauty, camps, travel, finance, arts, fair trade, and more.]
Over the years, we’ve helped businesses improve customer service, market their products, and attract customers. Functionality requests range from basic to advanced. Our team takes the time to get to know your industry, organization, and competitors to ensure your site supports all your goals.

The length of time it takes to create a fully functional website is based on several factors. Custom design work can take anywhere from 1 to 4 weeks, depending on the complexity of the design and the number of revisions you require, depending on the number of pages, and the functionality required. Of course, these are general guidelines, and we will make every effort to meet the time frame you have in mind.

Our prices depend on many factors. To get a better idea of the cost of what you need, check our pricing page. We’ll ask a few questions about your project, what features and interactivity you’ll need, who will handle content development, whether you’d like to sell online. After this short discussion, we should be able to give you a ballpark number. If you’re still interested, we’ll be happy to develop a comprehensive proposal that outlines the scope, process and costs.
A fully customized, unique website design starts at $299 (one page), and page development is $75 — $100 each. Pricing for other services and functionality are outlined separately on our pricing page to help you determine and control the amount of your investment. We also provide our clients with a detailed estimate before any work begins.

Yes. Our web design and development service include configuration of your email accounts, detailed monthly traffic reports and basic search engine optimization services. Basic SEO includes submission of your site to the major search engines, and the setup of your primary meta tag information (Page Title, Description and Keywords). Additionally, your site will build from the ground up with search engine friendly technologies and methods.

For small projects, 60% of the estimated fee must be provided prior to beginning work, with the remaining payment due upon completion of the project. For larger projects, an initial payment representing one-third of the estimated total fee is required. The second payment is required upon the halfway point, with the final third due upon completion of the project.

There are nine steps in our development process 1. Discovery— If the project is a rebuild, we review your current content and make further recommendations for improvements. If it’s a new site, we start by discussing the subjects and functionality you envisage for your site and develop an outline for you. 2. Content— You compile all the content for the website, including all text and images. 3. Preliminary Design— We create a home page concept including colors, fonts, image style and layout. 4. Organization— When we have received all content in its final version, we review it to determine the best way to organize the information. The structure of the site is based on this organizational scheme and must be approved by you. 5. Design Revision— After reviewing the initial design, you can request changes. 6. Implementation— Once we’ve received your approval on the design, we move on to implementation. This is where the approved design becomes concrete and where we add site-specific features. 7. Page Content— When we have all the content that will be included on the site and an approved design, we will enter all the data. 8. Testing— We run through a final set of tests to be sure that everything is functional. You have an opportunity currently to test the site as well. 9. Launch— Once we have your final approval, we launch the site. The marks the end of the project.

Yes. Traditional websites do not scale down to fit the smaller screen size of a mobile device which makes text difficult to read, while buttons and links tend to be difficult to locate and use.
A mobile friendly website avoids all these problems and delivers a pleasant experience to the mobile user. A stand-alone mobile website (mobi site) is separate from the main website and has its own URL – for example http://m.google.com. The latest trend however is toward responsive website design, which enables the website to resize according to the device being used.
Whether you opt for a stand-alone mobile website or a mobile responsive website will depend entirely upon your needs as a business. We will help you to make the best decision for your business during our online marketing consultation with you (our consultations are free!).

Absolutely! In fact, we encourage it. We build your website on our online development environment. Once your site is ready and you have provided your approval, we release it lives on your server and submit your URL to the major search engines.

Yes. We use WordPress to build our sites and this powerful content management system allows anyone with good computer skills to make changes to their own website. We always remain available to make changes for you, if you don’t have time or you need more complex changes.

Yes! For one-time changes, we will provide you with an estimate before beginning the work and charge at our standard hourly rate. If you anticipate regular needs for maintenance, one of our Ongoing Maintenance Plans may be more cost-effective for you.

• Your website addresses. • Your company’s exact name and address (if it is not on your website). • Your Web hosting company’s name and website address. • The access information (username and password) for the Web host (FTP) and for the database admin (typically panel). This information likely was sent to you by your Web hosting company when you signed up with them. I need this information, so I can download any existing multimedia files, and then later make changes to your website. • The access information for the account administration tool and any databases. • The details of your shopping cart (website address, username, and password), if applicable

Yes. We include copy writing and editing in all our proposals. We also build your sitemap and help structure the foundation of your website in the planning stages.

For discussing the details of your project, email — or a collaborative project management tool, such as Basecamp — is much better, for many reasons: • The information is saved online, and serves as a valuable record of our discussion. • Email messages can be searched and referenced at any time in the future, so we do not have to rely upon our memories of phone conversations. • Any messages can be resent if necessary. • Both parties can take all the time and space they want, to be exact in describing questions and answers. When you express what you want in your own words in an email message, it reduces the potential for misunderstandings. • Project requests conveyed in a phone conversation can be (unintentionally) vague, which causes frustration and wastes valuable time. In contrast, email messages encourage us to be more specific. • Everyone has the information they need to do their tasks, which saves time and reduces the chances of miscommunication. • Files and website addresses can be easily sent via email. • Email allows us to send and receive messages whenever we want, day or night. It is not intrusive nor does it interrupt what we are doing, as does a phone call. We can receive and send information at our convenience, not dictated by a ringing telephone. • Because I spend my productive time at my computer, it is easier to read and respond to an email as soon as it is received. • I’m more productive with no phone, as it allows me to concentrate on work, since writing code requires uninterrupted focusing. • Contacting me via email is just as fast and reliable as would using a phone, because I’m at my computer for most of the day. • Any project instructions will need to be provided in writing anyway — either as a project specifications document or in an email message.
