Our fees for website development will vary from project to project. Many factors come into play :
If your site is information focused only, does not contain a shopping cart or specialised tools, the project can be implemented quickly. The process from initial meeting, draft designs through to completed and launched site may take less than two days.
Our fees are based on our best estimate of the number of days required and the people resources we need to apply.
Design of graphics - overall layout of site, logo presentation, navigation system, page colours, font styles, iconic graphics, etc. This can be a simple process or require many meetings in person and on the phone to arrive at the final design suitable to both client and target audience. Some people come to us with no logo, no business stationary, no colour schemes, only brilliant ideas. Others have everything in place and it is a matter of converting their design ideas and company graphics to a functioning website.
Wherever possible, we will provide the ability for your organisation to update the content of your site. Sometimes this can be a simple system that updates the "What's New" or "Calendar" page of your site, tailored for that particular page. Or it may be a more comprehensive CMS system that controls most pages of a site incorporating multi-level password access systems.
Alternatively, some organisations feel that they do not wish to be involved in any updating tasks and provide all material by email, fax or mail for updating by Netmastery. In this case an hourly rate will apply. If changes are made annually or even quarterly, this is often the most cost effective option for you.
We have developed many specialised interactive features for our websites. We always prepare an easy to read functional specification with time and budget estimates.
Our fees are NOT based on the number of pages or number of photos. In fact we will never quote on a per page basis as this is rarely relevant to the overall time required for completing a project. The most important part of a site is good design and this can take the same amount of time whether there are three, five, ten or over a hundred pages.
We will however, on a large project perhaps set a maximum number of pages for a set fee, as there is some correlation between this and time and helps set some time budgeting for us.
We have dealt with many organisations, big and small, and appreciate that a one or two man business may not have the same online requirements as a larger organisation. Within a limited budget, we can often provide a web presence that will work for you.
We tailor our hosting services, technical programming, design and consulting fees to suit our customers unique requirements and budget. Many companies provide these "package deals" but this has never worked for us or our clients. Read more.
Search engine optimisation is free to all our hosting clients. We consistently provide our clients with number 1,2 and 3 positions in search engines such as google.com, google.com.au, yahoo.com.au, ninemsn.com and many other search engines. Our comprehensive service is as good or better than the companies charging several hundred dollars per quarter for this service.
Search engine placement services including sponsored links programs are charged out at cost plus a minimal monthly service fee.
Netmastery has many answers in how to boost website traffic. We aim to do more than build a site and walk away. We will build a professional-level website for you and work with your organisation on an ongoing basis to improve the number of visitors to your site and not necessarily with high budget sponsored link campaigns.
We have a phrase..."If you can't measure it, you can't manage it" so part of this ongoing relationship with you is to provide the reporting tools that you need to measure your website traffic, not just general numbers but a comprehensive view of the number of visitors on pages, how they found your site, the length of time they spent on the site, the pages they visited and so on. We can also report on your position in the search engines for relevant search terms and against your competition.
Fees for this service will vary but our basic site management fees include comprehensive reporting and also basic search engine optimisation (SEO), as noted. For sites already built and running on other services we can tailor an SEO package for you.
We offer very competitive fees and cater to a range of needs. Please call or fill in our enquiry form to find out the best price. Unlike a lot of hosting companies, we have special plans for organisations which manage more than one domain for their range of products and services. We also include basic search engine optimisation in this fee.
Again, we offer competitive prices. The good news is that the "wholesale" price has reduced significantly over recent years. We have always passed on the reduction to our clients. If we have previously registered a domain for you and you receive a renewal notice from another organisation, please contact us so that we can ensure you get the best possible price and service Do not fill in forms requesting your "registry key" unless you are sure about this.
Please call or fill in our enquiry form and we will give you a quotation for your domain or domains. We can also assist you in investigating domain name availability or choosing the best possible domain name(s) for your activities.
