We’ve been doing things lately with our business that have actually turned away potential business. But these things have also brought better clients into the fold. I’m talking about creating Web Plan’s for clients before giving a hard price for a web site.
I get calls all the time where people ask how much a web site will be. This is a natural question that someone would have but when you compare it to other industries it doesn’t make much sense.
What if I called a mechanic and told him my brakes were squeaking and asked how much it would be to fix them? Or what if I called a contractor and asked him how much it would be to add an addition to my house? My neither of these people could give me a good price because they don’t have the information to make an intelligent guesstimate.
I have dabbled with the idea of having flat pricing on web sites but I find there are too many variables to give an accurate estimate. I have to look at the end product and work back from there, in regard to both pricing and timeline.
I could have two people give me the same description of the site they want and one project could be $500 and the other $5000. I just don’t know until I’ve gone through a series of questions to find out what kind of functionality they want on the site and how sophisticated of a design.
So, if you call and ask for a price on a site you won’t get it. But I can give you a range. If you fit in that range I am happy to meet you in person and go through a questionnaire in person. I can give you a narrower range, but still can’t give you a definitive price. If you pay for us to develop a Web Plan for you then I will be able to give you a hard price.
So, get in touch with us at 720-922-3124 to have initial talks. I’m certain we can develop a site that you will love the design and will have all the functions that you need to be effective in business.
If you’ve had a site developed in the past, why do you think other companies don’t do a Web Plan? I’d love to hear your thoughts.
