Website Design

All websites are different, therefore it is impossible to offer a single price point. Before we can give you an accurate quote, we first must understand your business, the project requirements and the goals you wish the achieve. Once we have this information, we can put a plan of action together and make an informed decision regarding an estimate.

Before any quoting begins, we first must have a discovery session with you to ensure we know all aspects of the project and ensure our businesses are a great fit for one another. We only work with businesses where we know we can benefit them. We don’t want to risk your investment and neither should you. We advise not working with any agencies that aren’t willing to do their full diligence before taking on a project.

The time it takes to build a site can vary depending on site size, functionality and complexity. The minimum build time is 6 weeks with the average being around 8 – 12 weeks. The project time is broken into 3 distinct phases; discovery, design and development. The most time-consuming part of any project is gathering and writing content. If you have your content ready to do, this speeds up the design and development phases considerably.

SevenDev does not offer content writing as a service but we can recommend copywriters if you do not wish to write the content yourself. We will help you source website images, however, if there are costs associated with obtaining images, they will be added to the final invoice.

In some cases, it is possible to add functionality to an existing website, however, it does come down to several criteria.

1. Your website is built in WordPress or another platform we develop with
2. It won’t cause performance issues to your existing site

In some cases, if the new functionality is complex and extensive it is easier to rebuild the website from the ground up to accommodate the new features. This way the website will perform at its best and provide a great user experience.

For a website build our payment schedule is as follows:

50% deposit upfront once functionality and design have been agreed upon
30% instalment near completion of the application
20% balance once the application has been tested and everyone agrees it is ready to go live.

We require a 50% deposit to cover upfront costs to build your website and to pay our team.

Ensuring that your website succeeds in meeting your expectations and business requirements is very important to us. When we hand the website over to you, we want to ensure that it continues to thrive and perform at its best. For this to happen regular maintenance such as software updates must be performed. Some clients may not have the capability in their business to perform these tasks. That is why SevenDev offers monthly maintenance plans.

Being on a maintenance plan is like having your own personal web developer on staff without the hassle of expense and management. You’re getting the SevenDev team in your corner, and our eyes on your website every month so you don’t have to worry about security or unnecessary downtime. Your site will be up-to-date and performing at its best when your clients need it. You can learn more about maintenance plans here:
