This adds a significant cost to the development of your site but can be ideal for some organizations. Are you interested in a CMS? Another alternative is for us to maintain your web site, with fees based on the time required. In some situations, this can be a cost-effective alternative. Are you interested in considering this type of maintenance?

WHY?

In order for us to provide an estimate, we need to know the details of the web site you have in mind. This form will guide you in providing the information we need and will serve as a Request For Proposal on which we will base our estimate. As well, the purpose of this form is to help you get clearer as to what it is you are looking for in the creation of your new website.

Please try and fill out the form completely. Neatness, grammar and punctuation do not matter, but completeness definitely does! When youre done, submit the form. I will automatically receive it and will contact you so that we can go over it together. I will then provide you with a proposal and estimate. If you want to print this page out and do it by hand, and then come back and fill out this form online, feel free do do that.

We realize that this will require some time and effort, but its crucial to both the estimating and design process. Thank you!
