From the number of pages and custom functions to the choice of a template or unique designs, the amounts vary. We work with our clients to understand their goals and budget and build a path that works for them.
Our typical turn around for a basic website is 2-3 months depending on the number of pages, custom functions, and having all the content ready before starting. Many factors go into the timing, and we focus on phases and important milestones to get the job done. If you are needing a logo and branding completed as well, it may prolong the length of the project, however it is important to get it right the first time.
Most of it depends on where you are in your branding process. Since we often work as a done-for-you service, we strategize with you about the look and style, compile design ideas and graphics, and write the first copy drafts where you then are responsible for review and approvals.
