What is the process of getting a web site developed?

• Call for an initial consultation.
• We send you a quote that you sign off on.
• Set up a design meeting or provide your own design.
• Content meetings are not included in the basic cost of the site. If you need resources for this, let us know, we can help.
• On longer projects, after the design comps are delivered, half of the cost of the site is due at this point.
• Once the design is decided upon, the developer starts turning it into HTML and getting it ready for the web.
• All payments are due BEFORE the site will be hosted.

What if it takes longer than expected, will I be charged more?

Projects are bid on the estimated number of hours the project will take. If the project takes longer, you have our guarantee that it won't cost you more. If however, the design comps have been approved by the client, and the client changes their mind on major items, this additional work will be charged at $60 per hour.
