Many businesses ask how much a website will cost. An important question in most cases, but in web design, a more important one is "What are your goals?". Web development contractors do have set fees for certain services, such as adding credit card processing, marketing packages, and web hosting. When it comes to web design though, your commitment to your website determines what kind of results you will get. You tell us how much you want to spend on your website. We can design a site for $50, or $5000. A business needs to determine it's commitment to the internet just like any other division of the business. In web development, the amount of the investment is a good indicator of the return on that investment.
Price can actually be determined two different ways. When you approach us with the goal of increasing your web presence for your business, you have to know one of two things. First, what is your budget. From there, we can take a look at your business model and determine the best website for you and do it within the budget you specify. The second option is knowing general ideas about what you want your website to do. Knowing what customers you want to target, if they are new customers or current customers, and what information or services that you want to convey to them over the web. From there, we can come up with some sample pages, sections, and an estimate on what it will take to accomplish your goals.
A lot of businesses don't fall into the category above. They don't ask how much it will cost. They want to know they are getting quality, and they want to trust who they are working with to get things done and many times, they pay entirely too much for this luxury. Fortunately, we can give you all of these things with one small business. We will keep your goals, needs, AND budget in mind as we are working on your project. As we gain more and more knowledge about the internet in Mississippi, we constantly see businesses that are paying too much for too little for their website. Sites that are have a good design, but fail to optimize their content for search engines. Some have plenty of content, but seem to try to cram it all into the visitor without this person ever clicking a link. These are some of the main reasons that the Mississippi internet is weak compared to other markets in terms of what it does for business.
