From Concept to Design, Meeting Your Web Needs.
Penguins Ink is a web design, redesign, development, management and graphic
design company. We offer a wide range of services to our clients and understand
that communication is number one in helping our clients reach their goals in presenting
the most visually pleasing, structurally sound web site in the most cost effective way.
Your Budget:
One of the major factors to determine how simple or complex your web site will become is what your budget is going to be. Remember the more complex the site you are looking to have created, the more time it is going to take, in turn the more money it is going to cost.
Take a moment to consider the following:
· What type of web presence are you looking for?
· A web presence to get your name out there on the web.
· An online product/services information for possible clients.
· An online store for your products with online transactions.
· An internal system for communication with yourselves, and clients anywhere in the world.
· How many pages would you expect your site to be?
· What pages do you want to include within your web site (company history, about us, product information, awards etc.)?
· Do you want your site to be static or dynamic?
· Do you have a logo or company letterhead already created that you want to incorporate into your web site?
· Will you need any custom applications, databases or graphics created for your web site?
· Do you want to gather information about the people who view your site for marketing ideas?
The answers to these questions are going to be a good indicator of how much money your dream web site will cost, (you can use the rates page of this web site to give you a basis for the average cost of a web site like the one you determine from the answers above).
Then what you want to do is work backwards cutting away aspects of your site that you may not need to have at first, or at all. Remember, an effective web site does not have to have all the bells and whistles; it needs to be able to communicate your message in an effective way.
Once you have reached a number that fits for your business, organization, school or individual web site then you want to take the next step and work with a designer/developer to work out a final price. This price may be a little higher then the average in which case you may have to cut back even more, however it may be less in which case you can add some of those features back. The most important thing here is to understand what type of budget you have, what your major goals are, and then work closely with your designer/developer to determine which will be the most cost effective way to deliver that information.
At Penguins Ink we are determined to give each of our clients the highest quality service in the most cost effective way. Again a major factor in our determining the cost is the scale of your site, so you will want to determine what your goal is so that we can better help you reach them.
