What are the initial costs for a great website?

Each website project is unique in scope and complexity, and as such, there is no set price for what a premium website may cost. After careful consideration of your website project during your FREE project consultation, we will develop a written estimate based on your requested specifications.

One point we pride ourselves on: we do not “nickel and dime” our clients to death.What does this mean? Other web design firms often present a confusing array of prices and policies for web development. They charge extra for scanning pictures, adding links, scrolling text, fill-in forms, and anything else they can get away with. We make things as simple as possible, by providing many services on a flat-fee or project basis.

How does our pricing compare with other design firms? Well, we are neither the highest or lowest priced firm you will find, but our clients say that we are well worth our rates. We offer a complete range of premium quality services (website design and makeovers, content management systems, quality hosting, next-business-day maintenance, project consulting, search engine optimization), all set up to make your web experience as convenient and cost-effective as possible.

Beware of anyone that offers a low-ball price for a website without understanding what you are trying to accomplish—it means that they’re going for volume and mass production, not customization and attention to detail, and will cut corners to keep their margins high! And if it seems too good/low cost/cheap to be true, well, you know how that usually ends…

When you work with Mike Truese Creations, we provide you a firm, written estimate and scope for your website project, so that you know exactly what world-class website development services you are getting for your money.

That said, our website design rates…

 Our website design and development services include the following:

• A custom design based on your likes and dislikes of other websites, your corporate branding, and what works for your website goals.
• If you let me do what I do best, you get one/best design idea, no revisions.
• If you want to be the Art Director, then you can have 2 rounds of revisions after my initial presentation/concept.
• Formatting of all content pages with good, structured, standards-based code (CSS/HTML, no tables) and optimized images that are fast to download, browser friendly and search engine helpful.
• A Content Management System (CMS) for self-management of basic content. Hence, we don’t do ‘page counts’ – we don’t care how many pages you have, since you create and maintain the content yourself (saving on simple maintenance costs over time)
• Optimization of your content to be as search-engine friendly and keyphrase rich for you as possible is baked right in (code and content must both work with the engines), not an extra charge!
• Contact page with Google Map integration, so people can find you and get directions.
• Creation of Google Sitemap (XML) and submission to Google, Yahoo and Bing.
• Favicon based on your logo.
• Website statistics and traffic analysis, so you can see how effective your website is to your business (Google Analytics integration or another 3rd party service).
• 3-hour block of next-day website maintenance
