Pricing
As
you begin searching for a web design team, it is very likely
you will end up with quotes that are sometimes thousands
of dollars apart for the same project. Many clients end
up scratching their heads trying to figure out how the difference
can be so vast. At least part of the answer is that many
design firms are well established and have large payrolls
to cover. This results in expensive quotes for you. They
are really quoting to cover their overhead and then some
profit, but their quotes are more expensive than necessary
for the project. On the other end, you can end up with extremely
low quotes. These are usually newer designers trying to
break into the business. More often than not they are just
dabbling with web design and have a regular full time job.
It seems
pretty obvious to steer clear of both extremes. We have
a very fair pricing structure and keep our overhead extremely
low. We aren't caught up in the trappings of the 'corporate
office' and we work with several subcontractors with whom
we already have a long term relationship. This allows us
to gear up for large size projects easily while not having
to overcharge to maintain a highly paid staff in leaner
times.
In short,
we quote based on an $85/hr rate which is the same rate
we have maintained for the past seven years. Having quoted
and designed hundreds of projects over the years, our quotes
are pretty darn accurate without the need to 'pad' the quote.
The
only time we change a quote is if the client becomes very
involved and changes the scope of the project in mid stream.
We are flexible and fine with that. We appreciate the passion
to get it right the first time. We simply ask for the same
flexibility from you in paying for the extra time needed
to make these shifts in the project.
Due
to the fact that we put real man hours into each project,
we do not offer refunds. We believe a hard worker is worth
his wages. In the extremely rare event that you are completely
unsatisfied with the work, we will keep only the monies
that have aleady been worked for and will relinquish the
rest of the contracted amount. By the way, in seven years,
we have only had to do this one time. We consistently bend
over backwards to win your satisfaction.
In
working with WordNet, it's like finding a really honest
mechanic. They are rare to find, but once you do, you'll
never leave because you know you are getting quality work
at a fair price, even if it costs a little more than the
average Joe mechanic. Give us a call, you won't be sorry.
