How it works and pricing
From the first conversation to launch day, and what it costs.
From first talk to launch
We talk
We look through your current site first, then meet with you to go over what your staff post and what residents call the office about most.
We build it
Every page and document from your old site comes across, and the new site is built around how your office actually works.
You look it over
You get a private preview link and send us changes. Your current site stays up the whole time.
Launch
Once you approve it, we switch your web address over and old links point to the new pages. Your staff get their logins and a walkthrough.
After launch
Hosting, upkeep and changes are covered every month. Layout changes are usually done within 2 to 3 business days.
Pricing
Every town gets a written quote, because a village of 600 and a city of 4,000 need different things. The quote has two lines: the one-time build, and a monthly fee that covers hosting, upkeep and unlimited changes.
There's no deposit, and the build is paid when the site goes live. If your manager or supervisor can approve purchases up to a set amount without a board vote, tell us the number and we'll work the quote around it.
Questions
Who owns the website, and what if you're not around one day?
Your town owns the site, the web address and every file. How it all works is written down, so another developer could pick it up without starting over.
Can we keep our web address?
Yes. Your address stays the same, whether it ends in .org, .gov or .us, so residents don't have to learn a new one.
Can our staff break the site?
No. Staff post through forms, and the pages and layout stay with us. Every version of the site is saved, so anything can be put back.
Do you work with villages and townships?
Yes, and with cities, anywhere in West Michigan.
