Get a website with a launch & marketing plan,

We get asked about this a lot. The short answer is we need to fully understand your business, your product or service offering, your target audience, your goals, what problems you want to solve, how do you want to launch the site, and continuously market it. This will dictate the price.

Here is a simple analogy. We are not doctors. But isn't it weird to step into the doctor's office to ask for a quote before diagnosing your problem? The best place to start is to book an appointment and tell us about you and your business. Our price will match the value of the website to your business.

This is another common but very good question. It depends on the problem we are trying to fix. Generally, it depends on the

1. Scope of work and desired goals
2. The launch preparation required
3. Client's responsiveness to providing feedback

A regular website takes anywhere from 7-10 weeks.  An e-commerce site varies greatly from 12-16 weeks depending on the number of products.

Behind this question is the concern of cost. We are respectful of your money. There are various reasons to start afresh, e.g. new technology and better ways of doing things. Studying how the existing site was built and scraping away things that do not work, actually, requires greater effort (and is more expensive). That said, we do look at things on a case-to-case basis. In some rare circumstances, it might be better to retain the old site.

Your involvement, as a business owner, is important because the website needs to reflect your values and personality. The involvement is heavier at the start with 2-3 initial meetings. This is where we ask all kinds of questions to learn more about your business and goals, what you’re happy with and what you think could be improved, what role you want your website to play, what your ideal site will look like, how you want to launch the website, and how to continuously market the site. Then your involvement will taper off to periodic project update meetings. This is where we will review the design, functionality, and progress.

Every business has a unique target market and value propositions. The sales cycle and processes are also different. As such, the approach to assessing any marketing effort also varies. That is why marketing companies do not make guarantees. However, we will guarantee the most effective use of your money. We do it this way:

• Make sure your website and marketing emails convey your brand message and value proposition clearly.
• Provide reports transparently and get your involvement when we make important decisions.
• Review the initial launch and marketing activities after 3 months, and sign the marketing contract if the results are satisfactory.

Wix, Squarespace, and Shopify are Software-as-a-Service platforms. They allow you to create web and e-commerce sites really quickly and with very little technical knowledge. Their monthly subscriptions are a lot more expensive than hosting on your own. WordPress, Drupal, and Joomla are open source applications you can freely download and host on your own or with a service provider. It requires more technical skills to develop on these platforms. But it also means the developer has more control.

Yes, we can develop on all of them but our preferred platform is WordPress. It’s the ideal platform for small- to medium-sized businesses. The system is supported by a large community of developers and has a myriad of plugins (free and paid, built by the community) to quickly extend your website functionality. There are also builders and themes to make development rapid and easy. When properly set up, creating a web page is easy. WordPress is currently the most used website platform. So, it is easier to get support. This is in your best interest because you can replace us if we do not live up to your expectations.

No problems! We have customers in the United Kingdom, Australia, and Hong Kong. Geographical location is not a hindrance. We have lots of online meetings via Zoom and Google Meet and collaborate via Google Workspace. Moreover, we have been working on the cloud for the past 9 years. We make it a point to meet our customers in person for 'teh tarik', at least once. But if you are far away, we'll just collaborate online. All good!
