One size does not fit all!
These are common questions and comments we hear regularly. In actual practice all website services are custom. The cost depends on what you need. We work with small business owners who need a small website designed (1-8 pages) or larger websites with custom development and integration. Simple and small means less time invested therefore less cost.
Many clients want just maintenance or a one off fix for an existing website. That is ok too. A reputable company can advise on what services may actually benefit you instead of up selling you.
Web designers have a set unique of skills. It is our job to advise and practice many topics including; graphic design, development, domains and dns, hosting, seo, security, email marketing, social media, web advertising, current trends and technologies, blogging and so much more. With years of experience in the field and practical knowledge we can quote on projects of any size. We advise on marketing strategies that work!

The timeline can vary, we usually allow 1.5 months design/ development time depending on the complexity of functionality. If it is a smaller website with few functional elements, it can be done faster. A more functional website including custom programming can take 3-6 months once the scope of project has been laid out.
Tip: If the website text content is prepared in advance for each page, the project will go much quicker.
