Small business website design.

These are modified template sites. To save time  we base new designs off established coded templates and then alter them to meet client business needs.

What this means is we spend less time developing from scratch, which means a lower cost for our valued customers.

Our process for these websites follows an established and efficient formula to get you a new website without wasted time.

1. We talk on a call (or video web conference chat) to see if we're the right fit for each other.
2. If it sounds good to both parties, we settle on a process for content. Either final content (text and imagery) is provided, it's a paid extra to work with a copywriter and photographer, or we build the site based on filler text and stock photos, with you being responsible for adding in text at project conclusion.
3. You complete an online form to help us know your goals and audience.
4. We send out a 50% invoice for Project Kickoff.
5. Once signed, we complete 1x Homepage and 1x Alternative Page design for approval. 
6. Once approved, we build out the remainder of your site.
7. The final 50% invoice is provided and paid prior to your site being published live.
8. You get Editor Access to allow you to maintain content as needed via the Diginomic CMS.

Anywhere from 3 days to 4 weeks.

Most web projects stall due to problems with content, so for that reason we don't start a project without either:

• Final content provided, or 
• Final content created (at additional cost); or
• Agreement that we use filler content for the project, with final content added by you at a later date.

This allows us to deliver on timeframes and schedule work correctly.

Sites on this plan with Diginomic require signing up to our hosting plan - unfortunately we can't offer small business websites on external hosting.

Good question. Advanced Websites are built in WordPress and require unique or complex functionality that is outside of what most small businesses need.

Due to the added complexity and time, this increases project duration/testing/hosting/security costs, which is reflected in a higher price.

We hope you don't, but if you decide to leave Diginomic in future then we can provide your website in HTML/CSS for installation into another hosting environment, excluding any blog posts.

All costs for the website and hosting are upfront on this page and should be clear and simple. We pride ourselves on offering transparent costs for customers.

The only additional costs would be if you chose to have additional services not included in the website like:

• Professional Copywriting
• Logo & Business Card design
• Photography
• Domain registration
• Etc

These are all reasonably priced, but they come in as an additional charge if they are required.

First of all, we love WordPress and have developed many sites off that platform.

That said, it's not suitable for everyone. WordPress requires more time for setup and maintenance, which is a tradeoff for the increased flexibility of the platform.

The Diginomic CMS is aimed at simplicity, ease-of-use and speed.

If your website requires a platform like WordPress to meet the custom requirements you need, we'll let you know before anything is started.

It's similar in terms of how you edit the page once it's built.

The difference is that Wix and SquareSpace expect you to build and maintain your own website. This takes a huge amount of time for most people and leads to substandard results.

Our CMS platform offers the same kind of ease-of-use for maintaining your website content, except we build the site for you initially. This means you save a tonne of time and you get a professionaly built website made for you.
