Frequently Asked Questions

Before You Start a Website Redesign

How does the website redesign process work?

We begin our website design projects with a Kick-Off meeting. This is where you meet your Project Manager, Content Director, Designer(s) and Developer(s). We'll go over the scope of the project, goals, and have an in-depth design discussion with you and your team. After the Kick-Off meeting we'll begin working on the project - either a logo, mood board or homepage concept design. From there, we'll move forward to continue working through the design of the site before gathering content. We'll guide you through the content gathering process based off of your designs. Then, we'll perform an SEO Site Analysis and review the results with your team.

Once 50% of the content is provided and the final design concept is approved, development of the website will begin. Once the website has been developed, we will train your team on how to update your new website! Once your team has been trained, a launch date will be set. Post launch, we may partner with you with digital marketing and work on building strategic advertising and help grow your business.

How much does a website cost?

The cost of a website consists of various factors. We work to ascertain information about your project to provide you the most accurate quote for your project. The cost depends on the complexity and amount of time used to design and custom develop your project. That is one of the main reasons why it is vital to have a Kick-Off meeting. We offer business-specific services to keep the cost as minimal as possible. Though, custom design and/or development work is billed accordingly if the scope of the project is not met. Finding what is needed is very important and we want to make sure you are comfortable and not stressed about your project. We work towards finding the best plan to make your website work for you.

What will my website be built on?

How soon can my website launch?
