Before you decide
Questions worth asking.
Do I need a new website, or just advice?
Either can be the starting point. Describe the problem before choosing a tool. A focused consulting session may be enough, or we can scope a build around the work you need done.
What will it cost, including ongoing fees?
Landing pages start at $500 and full sites with back-office tools start at $2,500. Office Hours is $100 for 60 minutes. Maintenance starts at $100 per month. These are starting prices, not a combined package. The scope, deposit, timeline, and any hosting, software, or usage costs are agreed before work starts. Compare the service prices.
Can you work with what we already use?
Bring your current website, tools, and workflow. We review what can stay and what needs to change before proposing new software. Any integration depends on access and what those tools support.
How do I know you can build more than a website?
Explore the actual projects and demonstrations. VictoryLane shows event administration and payment workflows. Beacon & Bean demonstrates inventory management, and Good 'n' Hired includes an applicant-tracking back office. See the projects.
What happens after launch, and am I committing now?
Maintenance and ongoing consulting are available with an agreed scope. An inquiry does not book work or take payment. Your first step is an email to Frank about what you need, then a discussion of fit, scope, and costs.
Not sure where to start?
Tell me what is taking too much time or getting in the way. We can decide whether you need advice, a build, or both. An inquiry does not book work or take payment.
