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 risk-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, database programming, 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 fixed or 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 to 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 programming and development costs start at $ 3,200 for the following:

• Custom design, based on your likes and dislikes of other websites, your choice of colors and what works for your website goals.
• Formatting of all content pages with good, structured code (CSS/HTML, no tables) and optimized images that is fast to download, browser friendly and search engine helpful.
• Optimization of your content to be as search-engine friendly and keyword rich for you as possible (code and content must both work with the engines) baked right in, not an extra charge!
• Contact page with Google Map integration, so people can find you and get directions.
• Creation of Google Sitemap and submission to Google Search Engine
• Built-in website statistics and traffic analysis, so you can see how effective your website is to your business
• Up to 10 pages of static content. This means not database driven; the content is part of the webpage itself—we will also optimize the content for search engine inclusion.
• First year of website hosting, included as 'thank you' for your business—$200 value, FREE

Add in a 6-hour block of next-day website maintenance for an additional $400 and you're set!

If you think it's too low, feel free to offer more money! (grin)

If you think that pricing is high, call us today and found out why we feel confident about our rates, our premium website design and development services and our technological expertise: download optimization, search engine readiness, user-friendly navigation, speed of guaranteed next-day maintenance. We don't negotiate on price (no haggling).
