APS specializes in working with artists and arts non-profits with special needs and an increased sensitivity to design and presentation. The custom nature of each job requires discussing your needs and goals for the site. Taking the time to listen to your vision for what the site can be is essential to create a bid that meets those goals.
The service we offer includes in person or phone initial meeting to go over ideas for the new site and create a bid, design revisions for your approval, full mockups of the site before its built, and training on the selected CMS once your site is live. All of our sites are developed with CMS functionality suited to your needs and quotes include both design and development of your site. For clients who are non-profits we are often able to get them free top quality hosting of their new site with a major provider. Though the final cost of every site varies, the base investment is $2500 as each client is provided with the same level of individual service. Most sites are built between $3000 to $5000.
We strive for each client to be self sufficient and do not offer maintenance contracts, we are available at an hourly rate for development work to expand existing sites we have built. Some of our clients have gone through several design revisions over the years at a greatly reduced rate.
Every site includes as a base:
- Custom designed site ( 2 revisions )
- Built on CMS platform (Wordpress, Joomla, LightCMS, Expression Engine)
- SEO as part of design
- Both blog and static pages in design
- Video and photo galleries
- Web Form for contacts, with CAPTCHA spam protect.
