We'll need to know all about your products or services. If you have an existing site, we'll review it to understand your current setup, what works, and where we can improve. This helps us plan a smooth transition or a complete redesign that meets your specific business needs.

• Who are your customers?
• Where are they located?
• Do you sell online, or will customers come to you?
• What services do you provide?
• What are your products used for?

The timeline depends on the project scope and your readiness:

• Redesigns/Refreshes: Under optimum conditions (when you have content ready), we can sometimes launch in just a few days.
• New Sites: The duration varies based on your availability, how quickly you can provide photographs and product descriptions, the number of items or services, and the complexity of any shopping cart requirements.
• Testing & Review: We always allocate extra time for performance testing on our end and for you to review the site to ensure all information is accurate before launch.

Pricing is based on the complexity and features you need:

• Basic Sites ($1,500): A small website that simply describes what you do or what you sell typically starts around this amount.
• Complex E-Commerce Sites ($3,000+): For sites with many items, services, or advanced sales requirements, the starting point is around $3,000. We work with you to develop the specific content and shopping cart features needed to drive sales.

We take a collaborative approach to maintenance:

Technical Maintenance: Yes, we plan to keep the technical side running. This is why website maintenance is included in our agreements. We constantly monitor the site for software updates, security threats, hacking attempts, and performance issues.

Content Updates: We need your involvement for content updates (adding new products, changing prices, etc.) to ensure we are meeting your specific business needs.

We use Joomla, the second most popular content management system (CMS) after WordPress, chosen for its balance of power and stability:

• Built-in Functionality: Unlike WordPress, which often relies on multiple third-party plugins to add features, Joomla includes many essential functions built-in. This reduces the number of add-ons required.
• Performance & Security: Fewer add-ons mean faster performance and fewer potential security vulnerabilities.
• Ease of Use: If you can use basic word-processing tools, you can manage much of the content yourself.
• Granular Control: We can lock down the website to restrict editing permissions, allowing only specific users to edit specific content—a feature we find unmatched by WordPress.

We start every project by asking, "What do your customers need to do?" Whether it's comparing services, finding inventory, or viewing a catalog, we build the clearest route for them. We don't rely on pre-made templates that limit what we can do. Instead, we build from scratch using tools that are exceptionally powerful and easy to configure for almost any need, ensuring the site fits your specific operations.

Security is a top priority. Because we use Joomla with fewer add-ons, there are fewer entry points for security risks. We also include continuous monitoring in our maintenance agreements to watch for hacking attempts, apply security patches, and ensure your data stays safe.

Absolutely. We design with the customer's journey in mind. Clear pages, obvious next steps, and helpful visuals ensure visitors can find what they need quickly. For example, our Farm Service Solutions client uses a site that lets customers easily filter equipment by category and view multiple photos, making the buying decision simple.

Yes. One of the key advantages of our Joomla setup is granular control. We can lock down the website to carefully control who can edit very specific kinds of content. This means you can let your family or staff manage product photos while keeping sensitive sales data (like purchaser info or pricing) visible only to you.
