 Website Development is not much differnt from any marketing project. The sequence is:
The last 2 items, site design and coding, are what most people associate with website design, and typically represent about 1/3 of the time and expense of the complete process (for a “static” site). Companies that come to us with well defined objectives, ideas, copy, photography and research can expect to get a website up and running much quicker and for a lot less money. For a static website , we charge $575 for the Home Page and $350 for each additional page for site design and coding only . We are happy to provide a quotation for any additional services required. Dynamic websites with Flash , Database Content , or Content Management can be relatively simple or wildly complex, and it is best to quote these individually. Our hourly rates range from $55 to $100, depending on skill level required. As general guidelines, you can expect e-commerce to add at least $2,500 to site costs, and a database application to add at least $3,500 to site costs. Terms and Definitions : If you're new to website development, you'll find the following terms useful: Content Management System – A software system that acts as a bridge between website programming and what users see on their computer screens, and provides an easy way to keep website content updated. Dynamic Content – Website content that is updated by an automatic process, through a content management system, or by input from a site visitor. Dynamic websites are more programming intense than static websites. Database Driven Website Content – Website content (such as product information) that resides in a relational database. This allows content to be easily updated, sorted, and searched. E-commerce Website – If you wish to sell a product directly through the internet, an e-commerce site is required. These sites incorporate everything necessary to move a customer through the selection and purchasing process including, of course, secure payment through credit card or other means. Flash Websites – Flash is a software design tool for creating animation, motion, and movement,and inserting video and audio into a website. Static Content – Website content that is set in code and is appropriate when information isn't expected to change frequently. Static sites are often called “brochure sites” because they serve a function similar to a printed brochure. |
