Before designing a website, it is absolutely vital to craft your marketing strategy carefully. Your website isn’t just there to look pretty — it’s there to get attention, deliver your message, and channel visitors through the necessary steps to become a lead or a sale.
You may get a beautiful website, but if it doesn’t do those things, you are WASTING your leads and your money.
We always begin our website design process with a marketing consultation to ensure that good marketing strategies are baked into the layout of the site.
As your website is there to SELL to your customers, every aspect of the design must revolve around a properly planned-out marketing strategy. We begin our process by analyzing your business and working with you to develop a marketing plan that will draw in customers and get you results.
Once the strategy is in place, we begin the website design process. We will create a first-draft layout and design proposal for your inspection.
Once you have received your initial design proposal, we consult with you and get your feedback on the design. Any changes you request are made, and then we bring the site back to you. We continue this process until we have a site that you are 100% happy with.
Websites vary quite a lot in size and function, so the prices vary accordingly. But to give you an idea, the most basic website usually consists of four pages: “Home, About, Services, Contact.” Websites of that level of simplicity start at $1,995 CAD.
Costs increase with more pages and more functionality, such as e-commerce, booking pages, etc.
Our payment terms are 50% upon beginning the project and 50% upon completion.
If you want a more exact price for your project, just book a free consultation with us, and we will make sure all your questions are answered.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a large subject that covers everything needed to ensure your website shows up in search results.
When we design and build a website, it is done with SEO in mind. The website is built with the proper keywords, internal structure and mobile-friendliness to be discoverable, understandable and well ranked with search engines. All of this is included in our design process.
Once the website is up and running, there are many things that can be done on an ongoing basis to help draw traffic to the site, and we offer those services as well. You can learn more on our SEO Services page.
As websites vary in size and complexity, there isn’t one answer to this question.
A typical, simple website can be completed in approximately 2 weeks. Larger websites will obviously take longer.
There is also often a need for back-and-forth consultation with and input from you, the client. This can also cause delays in the process.
However, please be assured that we always work to get your project up and running quickly.
Yes! Once your website is paid for in full, it is your property.
Our websites are built using WordPress, and that means they can be moved, copied or downloaded to any hosting.
Your website can be built on your hosting account or ours (see question on hosting), and if you choose to take your site elsewhere, you are free to do so. If you require us to make the move, there will be a $50 charge, but you can hire someone else or do the move yourself if you choose.
You can certainly host your website with us, and we would be happy to have you. We charge $25/month, which includes keeping the site software updated and addressing any hosting-related problems that may arise.
But, if you prefer, you can purchase your own hosting with another company, and the website can be built there.
Great question! The answer is: we do it together.
As you are the one who understands your business best, I can’t just sit and write everything without you.
However, experience has shown me that the large majority of people have a hard time sitting down and writing out content for a site…a holdover from getting your knuckles rapped in school, maybe?
Anyway, the most effective answer I have found for this is that I am able to interview you about your business during the marketing consultation stage of the process. Most people can talk quite easily about their own businesses, so I take notes and use them to write the content for the site.
And, of course, during the review and revision stage, you can give your feedback on that writing and request any changes you like.
An initial consultation with us is totally free and without any obligation.
Reach out, and let’s talk about your project!
