SEATTLE WEB DESIGN & BRANDING AGENCY

Before any agency gives you a price they must fully understand you, your business, your goals, and what problems the proposed solution will solve. Prescription without diagnosis is malpractice.

Don't risk your investment with an organization that doesn't take the time to fully understand and explore your goals and help you define what success looks like for you.

You need a website design services that can knock your goals out of the park who uses a strong system.

A few questions we will ask in our first conversation.

• How are potential customers going to find you?
• What do your visitors want to do/see/experience when they get to your website.
• What will success look like to you after 6 months of this solution being implemented?
• Are you selling your users products online? Are you scheduling appointments?
• Will your users log in to access any part of your content/features?
• Do you already have a logo and it is authentic to who you are and it is appealing to your target audience?
• Any idea on how many web pages you need?
• Are we replacing an existing site? Tell us about what is and isn't working on your existing site.
• Who is writing the content?
• Do you have photography that powerfully showcases your services, product, location, and/or team?

We ask a lot more questions to get down the price. Anything else would be malpractice in our view.

Contact us to get started.

Time to create your new online presence is determined by 3 factors.

1. Scope of the work to be done.
2. The availability and skill of the team that is building it.
3. How available the client is in providing feedback and content.

That being said, a basic business website that Thrive creates takes 6-8 weeks including content creation, feedback rounds, and go live.

e-commerce and membership can take 10-16 weeks and is greatly dependent by the number of features & products.

So much of this depends on the actual scope of what needs to be don, the team itself, and you.

Also, are you using our marketing agency services into the project?
