Websites.
Decisions behind a corporate website: defining scope, comparing quotes, what actually drives the price and the technical setup that has to exist before launch.
A corporate website starts with design but does not end there. How the scope was defined, who produces the content, who ends up owning the code and the domain: these stay with you long after the project closes. Most of the pain felt a year later traces back to something nobody raised in the first meeting.
The pieces under this heading cover the stretch from collecting quotes to life after launch: what really makes up the price, where to look when two quotes disagree, the setup that has to be finished before you go live, and what belongs in the contract.
WHAT WE LOOK AT HERE
- Are the two quotes pricing the same scope, or is one measuring less
- Whose name holds the source code, the domain and the server
- Can you update content yourself from a panel that needs no technical knowledge
- Are permanent redirects for the old addresses inside the scope
THE FIRST STEP
Let's talk about your project.
Scope, timeline and budget are settled in the first conversation. A written proposal follows.
If the work is not a fit for us we say so on that first call, rather than sending a proposal anyway.
