Well, chances are, if you are asking this question, then you probably know the answer. Website design moves fast. Your organization or business may not need the most cutting edge website, but its design should feel relevant and fresh. If your website is more than 5 years old, then the answer is most likely, yes, it’s time for a redesign. Also, if you don’t like the look of your website, why should your viewers feel any different?
Q. Who cares about our website? It’s only visited by our clients, so it doesn’t matter if the design is out of date.Actually, you’d be surprised at how many people are regularly visiting your website. On average, about half of all viewers are stopping by your website for the very first time. It’s fair to assume that many of these new visitors are interested in getting to know your organization or business. You definitely don’t want to give these viewers a subpar first impression. If you can, check out your Google Analytic data for more information on how many people are new versus returning visitors to your website.
Q. Do you think a new website can really play a role in our growth?Absolutely! Granted, as we design websites, we may be a bit biased, but trust us – a good website makes a big difference. Within seconds of landing on your website, visitors are making snap-judgment decisions about your organization or business. Interest is potentially solidified or dismissed. Think of your website as akin to the role curbside appeal plays in selling a home. It doesn’t directly sell the house, but it encourages people to give the house a chance. A great website inspires visitors to imagine themselves using your business or supporting your organization or business. It has the power to help you grow and thrive. We’ve seen it happen again and again.
Q. We can get a free website template using a company like Wix. Why should I pay you to design a website for me?It’s probably no surprise that as a design agency, we have some strong thoughts on why you should be skeptical when it comes to using a free website template. Your website plays a big role in your communication and marketing strategy. Free is nice, but we believe that the savings aren’t worth it when it comes to something as critical as your website.
Q. Budget is always a concern. Is a new website something my organization or business can afford? How much does a website cost?We are committed to providing you with a beautiful and affordable website. Please know that there are many aspects that factor into the cost of creating a new website. However, our pricing is designed to meet the needs of small businesses and non-profits. Please contact us for an exact cost estimate.
Q. Are there any ongoing costs?Nope. Only a one-time design and build fee. There are no post-launch fees or monthly charges.
Q. Do you host the website?Sorry. Just websites. We ask that you select a hosting provider of your choice. Some potential hosting providers are GoDaddy, Network Solutions, BlueHost, or really anywhere you like.
Q. How long does it take to build a new website?
On average, the design and build process takes between 8-12 weeks. There are many variables involved that can influence the length of the project including:
The size of the website
The complexity of the design
Any advanced features you need
When your content is ready
Our current client design schedule
Your timely feedback and input on our work
Of course! This is your website. We want you to absolutely love it. During the design phase of our project process, we create full-color mockups so that you can see exactly how the website will look and function. These will be submitted to you so that you can review them with your team and/or involved laypeople and give us any feedback about what you see.
