Web dev services we offer

We prefer to quote web development services on a project basis as opposed to hourly. This keeps everyone focused on the outcome and results as opposed to worrying about hours involved.

To give you an idea, a typical small business website project for a 5-10 page website might cost anywhere from ~$300-1,000. This depends on the type of website, its complexity, whether it's a static website or using a CMS like Wordpress, and a number of other factors. For something like a more complex Wordpress site, prices might start from $1-3K+.

We try to offer as much flexibility as possible in case you're on a budget and need a very basic site, or you have a bit more budget and need an out of the ordinary website.

For technical troubleshooting or site maintenance projects, we typically charge on a per project basis to keep things simple. We can charge hourly for smaller projects, such as periodic monthly site maintenance (e.g. site plugin updates).

For these services, we charge a lower rate ($65/hr) than typical web development services. For many businesses, this sort of service is a better fit for those times when you need one-off assistance on dealing with unusual website problems or occasional maintenance to keep your site up to date and secure.

While we do prefer to quote consulting projects on a per project basis, our hourly rate for engineering consulting is $125/hr. If you're looking for a fresh set of eyes and a second opinion, we're happy to help! If you need advice on an upcoming site migration, changes to your tech stack, or dealing with other issues, we're glad to provide our expertise.

Our team has significant experience dealing with a wide variety of software engineering challenges on sites handling up to millions of monthly users or over one billion API hits per month. If there's an issue you're dealing with, we've likely dealt with it before and would be glad to pass along that knowledge.

Our team is highly experienced with a wide range of content management systems such as: Wordpress, Webflow, Squarespace, Wix, Shopify, and others. In terms of frameworks, we have experience with: React, Next.js, PHP/Laravel, Python/Django, jQuery, and a number of others.

For most businesses, we usually recommend sticking to common and conventional website architectures unless you have a particular business need for something different. The more conventional the architecture and platform, the less likely you are to have to deal with things like vendor lock-in or difficulty finding a developer to periodically help you with your website.

For example, for a small, local business that needs a simple 5-10 page site of content that will rarely change, a static site might be ideal. This can save you money, it's cheap or free to host, and is about as secure as it gets. This is great when you simply need to list things like services and location data that might rarely change. A website build project for a business like that might cost you as little as ~$300-500.

For a more active or competitive business, maybe your needs are fairly standard and a typical CMS will work just fine. If your business has particular SEO needs and you'll be active with content production, a CMS like Wordpress or Webflow might be a fantastic option.

Depending on the type of business, we usually recommend one of ~3-5 options: Wordpress, Webflow, Shopify, a static site. If you do some degree of E-commerce, you might consider a Shopify or Webflow site. A Wordpress site can also work for E-commerce, however it can sometimes become more complicated to manage than the other two options. A typical E-Commerce site build will start at ~$1-3K.

If your business will be active with content production and focused on SEO, both Wordpress and Webflow have excellent features that can help. These types of sites cost a bit more to build as there is a bit more involved with design and development. Most builds for these platforms start at ~$1-3K, depending on the complexity of what you need.

If you need a site that won't be changing frequently, and if you're on a budget, a static site is a fantastic option. These sites do not require a database like Wordpress, and are considerably cheaper to build and host. For example, there are numerous options to host such a site for free, or as cheap as ~$1-5/month. One side benefit of this type of site is they're highly secure. Once they're built, there's rarely ever any type of maintenance that needs to be performed on them. Most static site builds start at ~$300-500.

Sure you can! Depending on your needs, we can build a simple website for you for as little as ~$300.

Our team brings a strong outlook towards SEO and long term organic search traffic success to every project. We also have significant experience managing or dealing with engineering and product teams, so we understand how internal team dynamics can factor in to your future growth. If you're thinking 5-10 years ahead for your startup, there are a number of things we'd recommend considering for your website and tech stack.

For one, planning your information architecture is very important to do early on. The types of platforms and CMS' you choose can sometimes have a significant impact on how content is organized on your site. Platforms like Wordpress and Webflow, or frameworks like Next.js, make it very easy to choose how best to organize content, URLs, and subdirectories.

Another consideration is vendor lock-in. As your business evolves, you don't want to fall in to the trap of your website platform or frameworks restricting what you're able to accomplish. This can lead to complex and costly site migrations in the future. In general, unless a business has a truly unique need for out of the ordinary tech, we usually recommend sticking with fairly conventional platforms. For example, if you need a CMS, Wordpress is still the gold standard. If you don't need a CMS, frameworks like Next.js or Laravel offers mature and flexible capabilities.
