What is the timeframe needed to get a brand or a website completed?

The average timeframe to design and build a brand or a website is 4 to 6 weeks. However, being a small studio, there can be a bit of a queue to get started with a new web design. After the initial consultation and the sending of the estimate, if it all looks agreeable, then the client can send a signed copy of the contract and the deposit to secure their place in the queue. We usually don’t have a wait of more than a week or two.

There are occasionally periods where we are unable to take on new projects and we let the potential client know and offer references to other designers. Other times, the client may have time to wait for us to get started as long as we make the final deadline. Once a client is up in the queue, a mood board is created so that we can gather feedback and make revisions. From there, we start the actual designing, whether it is a logo or a website. This is the most time-consuming part, then after that the process goes by much more quickly and we keep the project moving at a rapid pace as the pieces all come together. One thing for a website that makes the process move along really smooth after the design phase, is to make sure that all of the content is organized and complete, which helps us to build much more quickly.

People have been asking us for years if we create ecommerce websites, and now finally… we do! (I mean… John does.) A WooCommerce shopping cart is made to integrate with WordPress and is a great way to sell your products. This is a free open-source plugin which allows us to access and customize the code to your specific needs. As with any other website, You’ll need a domain and an SSL certificate, then we can install WordPress and the WooCommerce plugin and add your products.

In order to process credit card payments, we recommend using Stripe, which is also a free plugin. The only associated charges are once a purchase is completed which their fee is 2.9% + 30¢ per sale for domestic transactions. It’s very easy to use and setup, and extremely secure. Here’s an example of a shopping cart that we are maintaining for our client, Storipop. Please feel free to get in touch with us with any questions if an ecommerce shopping site is of interest to you.
