Frequently Asked Questions

About pricing

So we hear it all the time - how much will it cost. Unfortunately, every project has different requirements that often require different resources.

Before we talk numbers, we have to say we're passionate about creating the best solution and taking time to do things right. If you can appreciate the value of a custom website or web-based application, then you've found the right partner.

Website design (or redesign)

If we're talking about a Practis design program using one of our templates, they typically start around $2,500. Custom designs start around $5,000 and can go up from there. Page development, interactive features, functionality, and what you're looking for us to do will all impact cost.

Updating site content

Do you want to maintain your site yourself? How - using a web-based application or something running client-side such as Adobe Contribute? Or do you simply want to post news, articles, publications, perhaps jobs on your site? Things like this are fairly common these days because it allows you to update your site without having to contact us. Depending on the exact functionality you want, a site integrated with a web-based content management system will typically add about $1,800 to the project budget. Contribute not so much - $350.

Creating a custom application

Need to develop an application from scratch? Perhaps just customize a patient form. We can do it. As you can imagine, a custom application will depend on the details. The best part about it is that you can speak directly with one of our programmers to sort out the details and refine your requirements.

Writing and editing copy

Yes we can do this too. For editing existing content or rewriting from scratch, you're probably looking at $150-$300 per page to start.

Advertising on Google

For Pay-Per-Click campaigns to be effective, they take time to set up and maintain. Every campaign is different, and depending on your requirements, we can typically do the necessary research and get things up and running for around $300. Also, an hour of maintenance per month allows us to keep an eye on things and make the necessary tweaks to keep your ads working for you on Google.

Other stuff we're asked about

Domain registration

We're happy to make domain name recommendations and even register one – or multiple - for you! Better yet, you are still the owner of this domain, we just manage it. You can take this with you at any time.

Website ownership

As part of our process and commitment to customer service, we provide all source html files to you. Afterall, it's your website.

Keeping your site fresh

Updating an existing site with content, images and/or files

All of our websites utilize a content management system, or CMS. A CMS gives you the flexibility to add, modify and/or delete much of the content, images and files to existing site pages right from your browser. Depending on your needs, we may suggest different CMS options. To learn more about these options and what may work best for you, it's best to give us a call.

Page development and linking

The definition of a page is an individual html document. A page is where the information would live within a site and we can create as few or as many pages as you need. Typically, there are 10 pages included with the basic programs. From there it's $50 to $150 to add a page. Links are different than pages, and do not incur additional costs. Some links may go outbound to other websites, some go to other pages within the site and some may open up a files (i.e. PDF, Excel or Word files).

Getting found

Optimizing your site for search engine rankings

Optimizing your site for search engines depends on many things, including how your site is coded and how well your content is written. If your HTML and content are good, it might be fairly easy to improve your search engine placement with some simple fixes. However if it's an older site that requires a lot of rework, it may be better to completely redevelop your site.

Advertising on Google

For Pay-Per-Click campaigns to be effective, they take time to set up and maintain. Every campaign is different, and depending on your requirements, we can typically do the necessary research and get things up and running for around $300.
