Website Design & Branding Questions

HOW MUCH DOES A WEBSITE COST?

This is a great (and common) question – and unfortunately, the answer is pretty varied.

Do you want a 3-page site? Then your quote will be considerably less than a 30-page site. Are you working in e-commerce, or do you require specializations, extensive custom-coding, multiple forms, portals, and platforms? Then your quote will be considerably higher than a simple informational site.

The long and the short? A (good) website can cost anywhere from $3,000-$30,000.


CAN YOU HELP ME WITH IMAGES AND COPY OF MY WEBSITE?

Yes, absolutely. If you aren’t a natural wordsmith, or if you want the help of a professional, SEO or technical writer, then we can absolutely create copy that speaks to your industry and customers as well as the search engines.

Our content team will research your competition, industry, and utilize our content software tools to find the perfect length, semantically related keywords, linking strategies, and more. Learn more about our SEO, content, and copywriting services here.

Need photos? We can either go mining with our software and tools for relevant images or provide commercial, team, and product photography services for your website, social media, and more.


HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO CREATE A WEBSITE?

Our web design process takes anywhere from 6 to 14 weeks (think 5 weeks for a smaller site and 14 weeks for a large or fully-custom site).

This includes a prep phase where we get to know your needs, and get the needed copy and images, a research phase where we learn your industry, the first design phase and editing phase, and our testing and launch phase.


HOW OFTEN SHOULD I UPDATE MY WEBSITE?

The short answer? Often.

First, you don’t want your website to be outdated looking, or have outdated content on it (like Christmas lights in June) and second, you want search engine to see your site isn’t stagnant. This means blogs, GMB (Google My Business) posts, social media posts, content updates at least monthly, etc.
