Things that help us provide you with an accurate quote for your WordPress website project:

  • Design mockups. Short of that, wireframes and a sitemap.
  • Website content for your various pages.
  • Clear business goals for your website project.

If you don’t have these items, we’ll start your project with a road mapping phase to determine your website’s scope, features, structure, and design.

We always bill a fixed fee for our projects. In rare cases, we’ll bill by our day or weekly rate.
