SEATTLE WEB DESIGN

This is our #1 question and the only way to give an honest answer is for us to have a conversation with you.

We must fully understand your business, your offer, your target audience, your goals, and what problems the project will solve before we know what needs to be done. This will dictate the final price.

We believe that prescription without diagnosis is malpractice.

Here are a few initial questions to help you determine the scope of your project:

• Who is your ideal customer?
• What is the #1 action you want your ideal customer to do when they interact with your website?
• How will we know this project has been a smashing success 12 months from now?
• What marketing are you doing now for your business? How will this change once this project is complete?
• Do you sell products online?
• Do you already have a logo and does it resonate with your ideal customer?
• Are we replacing an existing website
• What is and isn't working on your existing site?
• How many monthly visitors do you receive right now? How many become leads? How many of those leads become customers?
• Do you have a professional copywriter on staff?
• Do you already have professionally shot photos?

Absolutely.

In fact, here is a video showing exactly how user friendly the editing experience is.

No coding, no fuss, no needing to call a developer.

We understand that owning your website & content, even for a small business, is a critical part of solidifying a future online.

Once we receive your final payment, copyright is automatically assigned as follows:

• You own the graphics and other visual elements that we create for you for this project. We will provide you with the original vector files as well. No funny business here!
• You also own text content, photographs, and other data you provided unless someone else owns them.
• We’ll give you a copy of all files which should be saved in a safe location. We are not required to keep them or provide any native source files we used to make them if they are lost or corrupted.
• WordPress is an open-source content management system. You have full rights to the usage of the code as well including the CSS, HTML, PHP, or other programming used.

Our #2 most asked question!

The time required to design your website is determined by three (3) factors.

1. The scope of the work to be done (logo, copywriting, photography, web design, etc).
2. The availability and skill of the team that is building it.
3. How quickly the client can provide feedback and their availability for any necessary team meetings.

That being said, an authority website takes Thrive 10-14 weeks including professional copywriting, photography, design, development, and rounds of feedback.

E-commerce and membership can take 4-6 months and is this is greatly dependent on the number of features & products.

If you want to work with a web development company in Seattle that will take the time to determine an exact scope, cost, and timeline for your endeavor, contact us and let's talk.

For a full-scale project, we bid a fixed rate for a fixed scope. Contact us to get an idea of what that rate may be for your specific project.

For ad-hoc work, our billable rate, as of January 1st, 2020, is $125 per hour and we bill in 1/4 hour increments and invoice at the end of each month.

Clients must be on one of our WordPress care plans to be eligible for ad-hoc work. After all, how can we work on a website that isn't consistently taken care of?
