We offer development of small non-database websites that are based on purchased templates requiring minimum changes in design and basically only require insertion of customer brand, text, and images.
We offer maintenance of small non-database websites, template or non-template based, requiring minimum changes in design and basically only require insertion of customer brand, text, and images.
Basic website development and maintenance services generally costs from $300-$5000. However, we do periodically have discounts.
For example, our charges for a basic site built by us customizing a preconfigured template with your provided text and images is found below. For the e-commmerce store, we provide you access to the store database and you load the data using our convenient tools. If you want us to load the data we can do so at an additonal charge depending on the amount of data you have.
In the below page refers also to a section on a long page. The designation of non-store page refers to pages such as Home Page, About Us Page, Contact Us Page. Remember these are one time cost but do not include annual hosting but does include 30 days free hosting to ensure your site is working as you desire
For Items 1 and 2, additional similar non-store pages per page cost runs $30 - $60 depending on the number of additional pages.
The below rules apply to the basic website development:
We support development of software in all industries.
We support web/remote, desktop, and mobile phone/apps software and database development.
The customer can either choose to retain complete ownership of the developed software or license the software from us.
In a complete ownership contract, we develop the software and turn everything over to the customer including all licensing rights once all due payment is received.
In a licensing contract, we develop the software and retain ownership and the customer pays us a fee for use of the software to include sublicensing of the software to customers of the customer. Generally, license will restrict us to licensing the software only to the customer but the customer will be free to sublicense the product to others at whatever rate set by the customer.
Customer ownership of course means the customer will be out of more up front cost as the customer assumes all of the risk.
Licensing will generally prove to be less costly to the customer up front as the customer shares the expense and potential profit with us. Under this arrangement we see the initiative as an investment. Since we assume some of the risk we will mitigate the risk in our strategic fee structure balancing both our development expense with potential long term profit.
Under some circumstances, it is possible for customer ownership to transition to licensing and vice versa.
No two software projects are the same and therefore costs vary from low to high. The cost of the project is a function of several factors. These factors include, but are not limited to, functional requirements, placement platforms, complexity, and anticipated level of effort in terms of expertise and time.
We use an agile incremental iterative development and deployment approach. This means we develop and deploy capabilities in stages. This allows the customer to expend resources over time rather than all at once. It also allows the customer to proceed at the customers pace and even suspend or end the project at a certain point.
To support our flexible development and deployment and associated cost processes we offer a month to month contract arrangement which may be canceled with a 30-day written notice. Long term contracts are available which are typically offered at a lesser cost than month to month due to risk factors.
Of course, the relationship between project complexity and customer desired duration affects the types and number of technicians assigned which will consequently affect the cost within a given time frame.
We will only be required to delivery software that meets written customer requirements signed off on by us and the customer. Accordingly customer will only be required to pay for such invoiced software delivery.
Typically our minimum anticipated project cost to the customer is $10,000 for delivery and installation of a fully functional custom website or other software package. Exceptions may be negotiated if it is in our strategic best interest to do so.
We will usually be able to start on a project within 2 to 4 weeks of being contacted by the customer.
The duration of the project will depend on the size and complexity of the project functional and technology requirements. Typically depending on complexity, very small projects take 1-2 months, small 3-6 months, medium 6-12 months, large 12 - 24 months, and very large 24+ months.
For very small projects, we will usually provide the customer with a reasonably precise estimated completion schedule and cost as part of the contract negotiations.
For small and above projects we will usually provide the customer with an estimate within the first month of contract start with refinements made as customer requirements become progressively more well defined.
Since successful software development is a collaborative process, effectiveness and efficiency requires you and/or your representative to be available for involvement throughout the entire process.
Depending on the size of the project, a typical team will consist of a Project Manager, one or more software engineers, and one or more quality assurance/testers personnel.
For software we develop we offer software maintenance contracts to include fixes of errors caused by us for no charge within one year of error occurrence. Errors caused by customer incorrect specifications of requirements or changes in requirements may incur a charge depending on the nature of the change. For software not developed by us we offer maintenance contracts as well.
Content of written contracts always supersede anything stated on this site.
