So you want a website, huh? The first thing we’re going to ask you is if you have a plan.
To which, almost every client responds with a resounding, YES!
But when we get into the conversation a little deeper we often find that the client really only has an idea of what the site should look like and maybe a few of the functions they want it to perform. That’s it.
So like the song says, you gotta make a little plan Stan. No need to be coy Roy, just listen to me. (pretty sure that’s not how it goes, but you get the gist…
)
What I’m driving at is the fact that you need to really put together a good plan for your website development so you can get some solid answers in regard to your development. How long it’s going to take and how much it’s going to cost are going to be key factors taken directly from your plan. If you have a dynamite site outline, your web designer / project manager can put together these numbers for you better.
Obviously we’re not asking you to do it all, that’s what we’re here for. But the odds are you really do have a good idea of what you want in your new website, so taking the time to write it all out makes the process a lot smoother. Once we have your basic website development plan, we can then actually map your project out, or ’spec it’ as we say here in the shop, and give you a solid price and a solid timeline.
