Determining the scope of a project requires a collaborative dialog between you and our Client Liaison. Once we fully understand your vision, we write a Solution Development Brief that properly outlines all aspects of your project and offers an accurate estimate. So, while we cannot offer definitive pricing for your custom solution, the following should give you a general idea of a reasonable budget:
Basic Website with eCommerce
($1,000 – $7,500)
Many small businesses require a compelling website design and a way to manage that content without technical know-how. Sometimes, they wish they have a simple online store. For these basic projects, Desert Bloom understands the need to remain cost-effective and extremely efficient in our development.
Basic Website with eCommerce Benefits:
- Custom-tailored to suit your budget
- Customized and Compelling design catered to your industry and branding
- Easy-to-use Management Console for updating your website
- On-going technical support
Premium Internet Presence
($7,500 – $20,000)
The larger your business, the more your clients should expect your Internet Presence to offer detail-oriented services. Although this price range may not include complex functional modifications, it certainly covers extremely sophisticated project planning, design, and development.
A Premium Internet Presence Includes:
- Project consultation and thorough planning based on your vision
- Competitive analysis and market research
- WebUX (Online User Interface Experience) analysis
- High flexibility before, during, and after development (i.e. people change their minds, it shouldn't cost them a king's ransom to do so)
- Web-standard and fundamental coding with Validated HTML/CSS markup assembled according to W3 standards
- Comprehensive Content Management System (CMS) allowing Administrators to create pages and content in a WYSIWYG environment (i.e. they won't need to know HTML, CSS, or any coding langauge of any type)
- Fully integrated and customized eCommerce system supporting complex sales behaviors
- Training and on-going support
Custom Application Development
($20,000 – $200,000)
Fully-interactive, custom web applications require experience and expertise that only a seasoned development team can provide. If you wish to build a new online business from scratch with a unique concept, or if you plan to expand your existing business into the online world, consider a proven and dependable leader in the web application industry. Complex web applications may involve one or more team of 4-8 specialists and 200 or more hours of strategic planning, design, development, testing, and support. Some examples of custom applications include:
- Custom eCommerce
- Business Intelligence Applications
- Social Networks
- Proprietary Customer Relationship Managment systems
- Proprietary Content Managment Systems
- Extra/Intranet Implementations
- Mobile and Wireless Applications
Online Marketing
(From $85/hr)
Online marketing services can be as simple as optimizing your website to be more successfully analyzed by search engines. Or, they can be as complex as viral and video marketing campaigns, social networking efforts, Pay-Per-Click management (with seperate budgets all their own), and more. In other words, the scope of your vision determines the cost. As a point of reference, the average sum for basic online marketing services for service-based websites (e.g. accountants, law firms, doctors offices, etc.) is approximately $3500 for initial setup and ongoing fees of $350 per month.
