What You Are Paying For
Since we say that "You Get What
You Pay For," let's look at what goes into the estimates for a
simple design project. Below is the optimal situation for the
designer of our most basic type of site. It does not include time
for troubleshooting or technical issues, the free minor updates, and
the free technical support. This is a bare-bones estimate of the
hours required to build your customized Web site. **We don't use templates!** Each and every site is designed from scratch according to your personal specifications. Don't know what you want or like? We know just what to ask to help you decide!
You will see that
our prices are very modest and competitive for complete, cusomized services. No room for
unexplained fees or hidden charges here! Our goal is to keep our
work as efficient as possible so that we can provide personalized,
superior customer service despite the number of projects we engage
in. Though these are the figures most often quoted, they are still
only estimates. Each project request and organization is unique.
