Mindbend makes a distinction between a web page and a screen page. The per-page prices below assume a “screen page”. A screen page is defined as the mount of content viewable on an average 1024x768 monitor. One long scrolling web page may have multiple screen pages.
All per-page options include graphic design, HTML/Javascript/.Net programming and project management.
Not included in any per-page fee option:
Assumptions:
All content to be provided by client including copy, photography, logos, etc.
Bronze: $75
Basic, no frills page layout, limited graphics and limited custom design. Makes heavy use of base templates with limited control for custom variations. This is the budget option. We’ll make sure it doesn’t look amateurish, but we’re not going to win any design awards in this price range.
Silver: $150
Good, solid professional page layout, design, typography. Good balance between some customization per page to allow variation in the overall site, while still leveraging template structure for ease of development. Includes basic modern interface benefits, such CSS-based rollover effects (e.g. link color changes upon rollover), limited use of advanced interface “widgets (see Gold options). This is the value proposition option. Good quality, good price. Just remember, if you want it to truly be great, there’s another option…
Gold: $250
Includes all of the Silver options, plus liberal use of interface “widgets” such as virtual tabs, image rollover effects, Flash animations for emphasis, “tooltips”, accordion or collapsible panels, etc. Allows for more flexible (less rigid in structure) layouts. If you want your audience to see your site as a high end, professional product, this is the option for you.
Hosting of website via third party ISP. Domain name setup included.
Typical fee is around $150 per year.
$75 to manage existing domain transfer if desired.
We recommend letting Mindbend reserve the domain name and set up the hosting account. See our Terms and Conditions.
If you wish to manage your own content, pages can be set up to use templates that allow you to edit the content (text, images, etc.) of select areas easily, while preventing you from editing the layout itself. The same content template can be used for more than one page, as long as the editable areas of the layout are identical for all pages based on that template.
This software allows you to make changes to the website yourself! Includes an hour of on-site training.
Say you need to add a new product or service to your website catalog. We would build maintenance screens that would let you do things like upload a new product photo, change a price, add new keywords, change the status (e.g. no longer for sale), etc. All of this information would reside in a database in the general page design.
Flash content tends to be more animated or interactive or subtle in effect, like using fades between images. Basic Flash content might include nice rollover buttons or a short splash page animation or a basic photo slideshow.
Advanced Flash content can get pretty sophisticated. it can range from lengthy animations to fully interactive site pages or even include video or database integration.
