That is a hard question to answer, my friend; it’s like asking “how long is a piece of string?” The answer is going to vary depending on your needs.
In spite of having many common elements, every website is different. Some are very image heavy, some more text driven. Some are e-Commerce focused and others are more “Hi, this is us and what we do” type of sites.
I do my level best to build you a clean, lightweight, simple site that does what you need.
The more “stuff” there is in a website there more there is to maintain and to fall over in the middle of the night when you and I are fast asleep like babies…
I’m an advocate of the K.I.S.S methodology: Keep It SERIOUSLY Simple.
To paraphrase Dr Ian Malcolm in Jurassic Park: “Just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should…”
There are all manner of things that can be added to a website these days to make it an award winning, all singing, all dancing extravagnza but if you don’t need them, why bother?
We’ll get together, you and I, in person or on the phone/Zoom to go over what you need, what you want the site to do.
This is YOUR brand, your online face. Let’s make it you.
We’ll have a chat first and see what you need. I’ll use this chat to figure out if I can do it and to help you cement your ideas if they’re a little bit vague…
We’ll discuss as much as possible and use the time to sound each other out; this is going to be a relationship after all so we need to be comfrtable with each other and on the same page, or at least on the same shelf!
Once I’ve got a sense of the site you need, and if I can do it, I’ll take that information away and rustle you up a quote.
This brings us to the part you’re really interested in: the money.
Sites aren’t cheap things so the total cost of the quote can seem overwhelming and scare you off to one of those cookie-cutter free services who shall remain nameless…
Don’t panic when you see it: this is just the total.
I operate a subscription model for paying for your site; this breaks that big scary total down into smaller monthly chunks that are a lot less scary!
I hear you. the following assumes that you have all the content/images/text and your own domain name already:
Example Site Total: £3,425.00 (the big scary number…)
This is how that breaks down: an upfront payment of 15% (£513.75 in this case) to get things started followed by smaller monthly payments. I’ll break that down in a moment.
The 15% up front payment is used to set up hosting/a staging site for developing ideas between ourselves away from prying eyes, domain name management, installation and configuration of the WP core and a suite of plugins for managing and optimising content delivery, security, backups and design tools etc.
Once all of that is in place we can get to work on the site.
Now, to the payment plans:
So if you’re ready to go, fill in the form below, nothing too probing or intrusive, and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can and we can start discussing your needs.
