Q: How much does a website cost?
A: We have 3 inclusive web design packages to meet you needs, and you can choose from our “good, better, best” options depending on your business needs.
Our “Good” option is the “Template Site”, which allows you to choose from a number of pre-designed templates to insert your information, logo, and a variety of other information. This option costs $249.
Our “Better” option is our most popular – the custom “Brochure” site. This site allows you to control every aspect of how your site looks and feels when visitors view your site. It includes custom web forms, and even basic development with Adobe Flash. Our “Brochure Site” costs $749.
The”"Best” option is our “High End Website Package”, and includes everything you need to make your web presence powerful and dynamic. Everything from Content Management Systems to Site Analytics is included, and we fully optimize your site for search engine placement and social networking. RSS feeds and a blog are also part of the package, as well as a number of other extras. This option starts at $1599.
Q: What do you get in the standard "brochure" website design package?
A: In a nutshell, you get everything you need for your new website. Our standard package includes HTML, PHP, CSS, Flash, and Actionscript coding. You also get no hassle email (your name@yourdomain.com) set up and managed for you. 1 year domain name registration and the first quarter of hosting are also included, as well as a web statistics program you can log into at any time to see how many hits your site is getting, where its getting them, and when. We also market your site with the top 5 search engines, such as Google and Yahoo! Of course, all this comes with a dedicated designer you can all any time you have a question.
Q: How do I know I am getting a good value for my money?
A: Once you are walked through our standard website design contract and decide to begin work, you will be able to sit down with a designer personally and outline everything… from what you want on your site to what colors you would like to see used. As work progresses, you get 3 drafts that get uploaded to a website only you can see, and you are able to view your site from home to watch as your designer builds your site. Your input shapes the look and feel of your site. The best part is, you only pay 50% up front… the last 50% payment is not due until your site is complete and you are completely satisfied with the results.
Q: Do you charge hourly or use a flat fee?
A: We can do either depending on your needs. Typically, a flat fee of $499 is given for a standard web design proposal. Flash and back-end coding is included. In addition, we market your website with various popular search engines, such as Google, Yahoo!, and others. Anything needed above and beyond what is included in this package will be assessed at an hourly rate of $55 an hour.
Q: How do I request a proposal, and what does it entail?
A: To request a proposal, simply give us a call or contact us via email or our online request form. A free analysis of your business’s online presence will be presented to you, along with a presentation of what our company can do for you. A representative will come to your place of business to offer this information. If you like what you see, we can sign you up on the spot!
Q: I've never seen a website built, and I have no idea what we would need.
A: Several small business owners are considered leaders in their field, and as such are reluctant to admit that they know little or nothing about how to promote their business online. The fact is, this is true of more people than not! The best possible thing you could for your business in this situation is to have a professional market your company for you. Emu Web Design consultants will personally sit down with you, explain to you the in’s and out’s of promoting your business online, and answer any questions you might have.
