2019 – 2020 Fee Schedule

We work in two realms: 1) strategic planning and consulting, and 2) web development, SEO, ORM, Social Media and content updates. We price them about equally at an hourly rate for consulting and per feature or per page rate for development work. Our rates are competitive and reflect a long history of organizational work in a variety of settings.

Written Website Evaluations are $100 – $300 prepaid in advance and the fee is dependent on site size (number of pages.)

All website reviews or evaluations are considered Technical Assessments by our firm and a retainer is required prior to all project starts. As our processes are sometimes proprietary, our evaluations are detailed, and our project schedule is constantly tight, we are no longer offering complimentary “sales meetings.” We also do not compete in bid processes for projects, offer “free” proposals or prepare free “bids” on consulting or website work. All meetings and project work are billable tasks.

We are no longer offering hosting as we prefer to work within your favorite hosting plan or we can recommend hosting services for you billed to your own credit card. Some content updates or widgets are host dependent. Because of licensing costs for server software, hosting stability and pricing can vary widely. We will give you our best recommendations at time of implementation based on market rates.

Some of our consulting rates may reflect a sliding scale based on organizational size or type but cannot be a guaranteed rate indefinitely. Some of our rates will reflect complexity of task. Our base rate for 2019 for all consulting and technical work is $50 / hour for organizations with 10 employees or less.  Organizations and businesses with more than 10 employees will be as quoted or $75 / hour.

Starting prices for basic website development is $100-$150 per page or per component (calendar, photo gallery, form) with a $300 minimum per project. More complex components or involved sites are as quoted and can be dependent on software licenses needed to achieve your project vision which are billed separately.  Monthly SEO or Reputation Services are quoted based on site size and client aspirations.  Plan on a billing range of $300-$500 month for small sites and up to $1000 per month for larger e-Commerce sites.

We have phased out all pass-through invoicing for webhosting and domain purchasing.  All hosting accounts will require an active credit card on file or a relationship with an approved vendor in order for our firm to continue content development services with new or current clients.

Social Media Account Cleanup ~ For those seeking to unhook from the internet, particularly Facebook, we are offering a new service to help you clean your social media clutter trail and take back some privacy.  We recommend this deletion service to ensure content is deleted prior to closing a social media account.  Plan on 5 hours consulting per account if you were a heavy social media user.
