Help us help you

Remember when filling in the estimate request form that the more information you are able to provide, the less likely it is that we will need to contact you and for further information before quoting a price.

Information we usually need includes:

  • Details about the domain name for your website. 
  • Details of your design preferences - are we designing from scratch or do you have a logo or branding to design around. Are there any other websites that you particularly like the design of?

  • Timescales - do you have a fixed deadline or are you flexible?

  • How many pages - if your site is fairly static (i.e. not linked to a database) approximately how many pages do you anticipate?

  • Will you need forms on the site such as a contact us form or an estimate request similar to this?

 

Our key to design

Clarity of information

The majority of visitors have a good idea of the information they are looking for. Simple navigation and clear presentation can be decisive factors for a successful website.


Quick and Easy

If there is one thing guaranteed to impress, it is a site that downloads quickly and is user friendly.


Innovation

With many web sites and online businesses offering similar services it is important to offer more than the competitors. A lot can be achieved with just a little extra.

Content Management Conversion - Information and Pricing Expectations

Often times, static websites need to be converted to content management systems (CMS). The primary focus of a CMS is to separate the data from the presentation. The approach also provides many advantages such as, template based, built-in admin and security, and reduced maintenance costs. Best of all, no need for applications like Frontpage or long term reliance on HTML coders to make simple changes.

We use open source products such as Mambo and Joomla as the base system and then integrate appropriate modules and industry-specific functionality as needed. We provide guidance in selecting a template and integrating graphics to achieve the desired look and feel.

Below you will find a brief description of services, project steps, deliverables, and some pricing expectations.

New site, new content, new layout

All new site designs begin with a client survey sheet. It's important to complete this survey early on to set expectations and organize priorities. You should review this survey prior to the initial meeting.

Our services typically include:

  • Template selection matching design layout concept
  • Graphic design based on company logo and theme
  • Layout changes
  • Revisions to graphic headers
  • Installation of content management system
  • Creation of the structure to support data
  • Addition of keywords for search engines
  • Online training documentation specific to your needs

Pricing expectations

Due to the variable nature of this type of work, it's generally not possible to give a one-price-fits-all. However, a simple conversion with five pages of copy and a few images starts at about £600. The variable portion of pricing is based upon your requirements. One example is if the converted site to needs look identical to the existing site, you should then budget at least £1,500 just for this portion. Another variable is the amount of content/copy that must be moved/integrated into the new site.

If you would like a more accurate estimate, complete the survey and send us a note with your current site and we'll provide you with a quote.
