Hosting
Our servers are dedicated and housed in a 24/7 facility in Dallas, Texas where we maintain complete control. We are aware of everyone on our server - if they don't pass muster, we do not take their business. WHY would this be important? Hosting costs are more than just "rent" on the internet with a good hosting company. We keep the server running with the most up-to-date software, maintain protection and vigilence in keeping your information safe and your site running and monitor the servers for any acitivity that would endanger either your business or ours. Our customers depend on us to keep the backend running so that they don't have to worry about anything - and that's just what we do!
Consider what you pay for advertising in newspapers, magazines, billboards and business cards/brochures. A well designed and developed website can only enhance all of your other advertising venues and is out there for you 24/7! It weighs in at a fraction of the cost of other advertising methods when you compare your bottom line and adds TRUE VALUE by adding your website to everything you advertise!

Web Design / Programming
It is very easy to be confused by all of the companies out there offering design and programming services. Some companies charge what seem to be outrageous fees. Others are so cheap, you wonder how they do it. We strive to maintain more than reasonable costs for our customers and ask as you consider/compare us to other companies that you remember that if you are considering a website to enhance your business, do you want to take a chance? This is YOUR business, and when you are dealing in "cheap", most of the time you get what you pay for. However, it definitely pays in the long run to shop around if you feel companies are too high.

In our experience, we can normally bring a newly designed, standardly programmed website onto the web in 4-6 weeks, depending on the existing workload and complexity of the sites. Simple sites can normally be up in a week. Complex sites can take up to 3-4 months. Most website designs / setups start at about $600.00 on the low end to mid range of about $1750.00+ plus the cost of the domain name and hosting. More complex sites, such as shopping carts, may cost more.
Content costs can be reduced significantly by having verbiage already proofed and ready to go.
We ask our customers to fill out a Website Interview prior to the start of a project. This will be given or emailed prior to our initial free 30 minute consultation. We will go over the interview with you, then in approximately a week, we will present a proposal with estimated costs for the project. A 50% deposit is required prior to the start of the project.
As long as no major changes are required during the development, our estimate will not change. Extreme changes may increase the final cost. Hosting costs are not included in website development. Hosting costs are your "rental" costs for your internet web space, similar to what you would pay in office rent - only less!
For customers who need to have us manage their site for them, we have monthly maintenance plans that can significantly reduce costs. Click here to see our Maintenance Plan Information.
