The
process begins with an initial design meeting. At
the meeting a good faith estimate is prepared based
on the results of the meeting and the desires of
your company. Below is a selection of subjects
determined in this meeting:
- Pages
are selected;
- Functionality
is determined for each page;
- Forms
are reviewed;
- Links
are determined.
This
is an ala carte representation of a typical
corporate informational site. The challenge is to
inform visitors, present your services, and create
an atmosphere that encourages repeat visits. A
strong home page represents a good first impression
and accomplishes these goals. At the same time, each
page will be built with search engine programming in
mind to put the site at the top of search
engine lists. A more precise estimate would follow
the design meeting. All pages include Meta Tags and
copyright notices. The total cost for phase one is
represented at the bottom.
General
photography on digital cameras will provide images
for the design process. Graphics for eCommerce
products will be gathered from vendor sources or
through another photography session. An estimate of
photography costs will be prepared based on the
number of SKUs or services represented.
Design
Meeting (travel and expenses extra): $450
Digital and film
photography: $475
Home
Page: The home
page is the invitation to the remainder of the site.
It should load quickly and provide links to your
strongest messages. The strengths of Meta Tags built
into the HTML code should be carefully weighed for
top placement in the search engines.
The
estimates include simple java script and ActiveX
programming. Costs
for pages built on Macromedia Flash technology will
be based on the scope of the project.
Development
of page: $525
SiteMap:
Because the home page
drives home an initial message, the site map is the
functional information center for the site. A site
search function is included in this estimate. The
cost includes links to site pages arranged by
category with few graphics.
Development
of page: $350
Links:
Visitors look to the
Internet for information. One of the quickest means
to get this information to your visitors is to
provide links to a glossary of industry terms,
association information, and industry trade shows. A
simple set of graphics that provide an intuitive
reference to each link is provided.
Development
of page: $350
Contact
Us and Feedback: It
is important to provide a means for your customers
to contact your sales team and provide feedback for
the Internet development team. Included in this
estimate is a simple feedback form that writes to a
text file and E-mail links to sales and support.
Development
of page: $400
Human
Resources (HR) or Employment: This
page is presented for employment. If no immediate
positions are advertised, a philosophy of the
company towards its employees builds good will and
promotes the company as one that hires highly
qualified workers. The cost estimate assumes that no
text is written.
Development
of page: $225
Optional On-line Resume Form: $250
Divisions
of the Company: A
thorough explanation of each division is explained
in graphics, photos, and text. The estimate is
prepared with the assumption that little text or
graphics is prepared. A cushion is established to
allow for simple animations, writing, and graphics.
Development
of page: $475
History:
This is an opportunity
to promote company reliability and industry
reputation. The cost assumes a 50:50 ratio of
existing information to new written text. Price also
includes scanning of photos.
Development
of page: $325
About
your company: Company
information including phone numbers, E-mail links,
address and sales contacts. This includes a written
mission statement, presentation of goals, and view
of customers all with the intention of presenting a
strong corporate image. Company initiatives and
industry compliance issues can be placed here. This
is mostly text, assuming that many of these files
exist electronically.
