02 · DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT

From your first idea to launch.

Platforms, project steps and what affects the time it takes to build your website.

Do you build WordPress websites?

We build various websites. WordPress is usually our top choice for most website builds as it’s very reliable, flexible, and budget-friendly.  We have developed several successful plugins for WordPress and can custom-design your theme to match your business requirements. We can also build your website with other options, such as Joomla! or custom-developed from scratch with either PHP or ASP.net.  We are capable of creating complex, custom-development online applications from scratch.  So, no matter what you need for your online business, we can design, develop, and promote it.

What is the process for building a website?

Each website we build will be tailored to your business. We want to promote your brand and ensure customers remember it instead of your competitors.

Our Process

  • We schedule a call to discuss your project in detail
  • We obtain further information via email and intake forms
  • We create an estimate based on the details obtained during our call and communication
  • If the estimate is agreed to, we will create an agreement to be signed by all parties involved. This can be signed electronically, and there is no need to meet in person. 
  • We require a down payment before we start work on your project.  The down payment percentage will depend on the size of your project, but it is usually 50% down.
  • We then begin developing each page of your website and seek your feedback and approval along the way.
  • After the website is 100% finished, we will get your approval and final payment.
  • We will then either host your website and connect your domain name, or we can transfer the site to a hosting provider of your choice at no extra charge.
  • We set up your site, ensure it is working correctly, and offer maintenance, SEO, or any other services you might require.
  • We recommend having a monthly budget to maintain, improve, and advertise your website. Even if you do not spend your budget with us, you certainly need one to succeed in today's competitive online environment.
How long will it take to build my website?

We build custom websites, so each design and page will be revised. Therefore, it will depend on how many pages you have, how complex they are, and whether you are available for feedback and to make changes as required.

However, the average 10-page website takes about three weeks to create if we have everything the client needs to finish it.

To speed up the process, here are some things you can do:

  1. Purchase your domain name and keep all the required login details handy for us so we have it when we finish the site
  2. Gather all the content and images that you want for the site and give them to us when you order the site
  3. If you have built an eCommerce website, you must provide us with all the details for each product.

03 · WEBSITE HOSTING

A home for your website.

Hosting options that can grow with your business.

Do you offer website hosting?

Yes, we offer high-quality website hosting packages based on each of our client's requirements.  Every website is different, so we tailor our package to fit the exact requirements for each project and allow expansion later on as your website grows.  In the beginning, you might only need a shared hosting package, and then once you gain more traffic, sales, and leads, you can expand your package to a dedicated server or cloud-based hosting to allow your business to grow faster.
