Budget Websites

Those who ask: "What does a web site cost"...

Should really ask, "If the web site MAKES THEM MONEY what is it worth?"

Stopwatch with 8 Seconds HighlightedIf you get a web site designed for a cheap price but it doesn't draw potential customers, is taking too long to display, is hard to navigate once found or it misrepresents your company then what value does it have? A web site must completely load or show the homepage within a 10 to 40 second window (in most cases). The homepage must communicate the unique marketing message or BRAND within 8 to 10 seconds. Great web sites just don't happen without a web firm doing a lot of listening to you, understanding your market, and designing a truly effective solution. Here is the 8-step process that we will take to develop your web site.

1

Planning & Consultation prior to building the site

Marker on Invisible Board ASK: Do you have enough time to meet with Davenport to make your web site a true success story, or do you only have 1 to 2 hours to meet? And do wish to do the web site architecture yourself, or with Davenport's helpful worksheets?

We will help you create a site map and hierarchy of the entire site prior to beginning, based on our projected needs, goals, or values. We will ask other important questions: what is the timeframe for getting the web site launched? Is there a Phase 1, Phase 2, and Phase 3 plan in place?

On average, every hour you plan will save 7 hours of execution.

2

Design & Effectiveness of the site

Design Stamp Letters ASK: Does the design of the site get in the way of communication? Is there well defined synergy between the text, photos, graphics, content, and style of the website?

It's not JUST about good graphic design - but properly rendered transitions, text, photos, graphics, and consistent code across browsers. You need clean, readable, content with an APPROPRIATE THEME that renders graphics, text and photos properly every time.

3

Navigation Sign

ASK: Can anyone quickly reference who, what, where, when, how, and why, as it relates to your business? Does your web site communicate to the 4 major personality types?

ANYTHING that is important to the viewer should be accessible within two to three clicks at the most.

4

Performance of the site

Sports Car ASK: Does the site look the same on multiple browsers or platforms, or does it appear significantly different or un-renderable in other popular browsers? Are there fuzzy, blurry, jagged, over-sharpened or large photos or graphics on the site that slow down or/are negative to the site's viewers.

How the web site performs in multiple browsers and platforms takes the expertise of building the right chassis, then adding the right components, styling and graphics. Does the handling or performance of the site have bottle-necks or slow-moments that deter the visitor's experience?

5

Marketability & Branding of the site

Unique Hat ASK: Is the web site carrying the best representation of our product or service in an effective and clear manner? Does it keep people interested?

Does your website communicate YOUR BRAND effectively and consistently? Marketable sites communicate the RIGHT marketing message to the RIGHT audience, at the RIGHT time with the RIGHT offer or service.

We will go beyond mere parroting of your marketing efforts, and will work to hone your brand in the most effective way possible.

6

Scalability, flexibility, and "sized" to fit your business.

Stacking Dolls How a site is built is not immediately apparent to the user, but whether it is professionally coded significantly impacts its performance. How easy is it to make changes to the site? Does the site look the same on multiple browsers or platforms? Is your website scalable - meaning can it be upgraded easily from where it is at? Or must it be rebuilt from scratch because it is software, browser, server, or code dependent in a negative way?

ASK: Is it W3C Compliant, CSS-driven HTML or is it built with non-compliant tables and frames? Is your site built with FrontPage, Cold fusion, Dreamweaver, Adobe Golive or another piece of software? Is your web site and Content Management System built with open source technology? Do you want a PHP or ASPX driven site and what are the pros and cons of each?

7

Traffic to your site, list management and automated fullfillment of client needs.

Abstract Arrows ASK: Are you interested lessening the time required to send, receive, and respond to customer's needs? What interactive features are important to you? How can our site look GREAT to search engines, robots and webcrawlers?

How it is found through SEO (search engine optimization) or it's "spider-ability". Building in natural SEO optimization will keep online marketing costs down by drawing more traffic to your site. This could also include using an OPT-In Module or API-Built Database to harvest e-mails and names of perspective or current customers, mailing list management, auto-responders, and virtually automating everything in your business for the web.

8

Analysis, Consultation & Customer Service needed to constantly improve your site

Man with Magnifier ASK: Do you want to be able to track the movement of visitors to your site? What are the specific goals of your site? Is the goal a specific "call-to-action", monetary purchase, relational OPT-In or purely information management? Can your webmaster or web site development team provide the customer service needed to constantly improve your site in a timely manner?

If you want to compete successfully online, you need an ongoing and adaptable plan in place. By using Google Analytics or other tools, we can track your visitors movements on your site's pages and can verify which things are working on the site and which things need changed in order to meet your GOALS.

Establish a budget

Unfortunately, many people have learned this the hard way, because either the company they worked with were not 100% upfront with them about the costs, or the customer didn't know what they were paying for. They may have saved some money upfront, but they did not count on expensive maintenance costs so they lost all the money they saved in the first year. Many of the people we talk to experienced poor customer service or were forced into paying for 4 hours of maintenance a month - whether they needed it or not.

So, what does it cost?

We help small to mid-sized businesses continue to grow without requiring them to spend huge amounts of money, or forcing them into a maintenance agreement. Web sites start as low as $899.(for a two page budget site); most of our sites typically cost thousands less than with expensive large firms. Professionally managed web site hosting is only $20.00 per month (with a two year agreement). At Davenport, you get an itemized proposal with descriptions that explain what it is, how much the service costs, and how it will assist you in your online marketing goals. We take the time needed with our customers to explain what they are getting and are available as their "Thought Partner" anytime during the process. Click here to see a large 450+ page website.
