Website Packages
What is a package website, you ask? The answer to your technological
dreams, we answer. Especially if you want the entire process, from
concept to launch, completed with no hassles, with only one point
of contact. Seattle Design Group can do just that! We specialize
in website development.
We'll handle everything from the domain name and hosting to website
design, construction and search engine optimization and everything
in-between. A Seattle Design Group website development package is
an excellent option if you don't want to be bogged down with the
details. We'll consult with you and help you determine the best
website design direction for your site. You have as much or as little
involvement as you wish.
Package website development makes your life easier by including
these services:
We understand each business has unique needs and every website
development package is customized to match those needs. That’s
why we do specialized work to create a website design package perfect
for your business success. We offer an array of additional services
to complete your customized site. These services can include but
are not limited to:
Depending on the scope of your website design project, Seattle
Design Group can deliver a website package in 4 to 6 weeks, from
initial concept to final approval.
Timelines vary depending on the website development package we
create for you. We've developed Websites in 2 weeks and we've also
developed sites requiring months to complete. Turn-around time often
depends on you, our client, and how quickly content is provided
and decisions made.
Seattle Design Group offers you solutions to speed up the process.
Our secret weapons to productivity and efficiency are, of course,
our cutting edge design team combined with professional copywriters
and professional photographers. Although it is an option to provide
your own content and photographs, based on our experience we recommend
investing in pros. Websites are completed in a more timely manner
and produce better long term results for customers.
Again, it’s all about your choices, your budget guidelines
and the ultimate vision for your business. If you choose to write
content and take your own photos, we're happy to accommodate you
and will work with your marketing team, if necessary. In our arsenal,
we also have ace editors to improve your content if needed. That's
what gives Seattle Design Group the ability to develop affordable
websites and work within most budgets.
With that being said, what are your needs? What website development
package works best for you? Seattle Design Group is ready to get
started today.
Domain Names
We don’t mean to drop names here, but when it comes to domain
names, it really is who you know. Lucky for you, Seattle Design
Group is here to help.
So, what's in a name? According to search engines, quite a lot.
Since a domain name is one of the first things search engines read,
it's important to choose a domain name (or names) with your keywords
in mind. That’s right, you may need to register more than
one domain name depending on your marketing strategies. Seattle
Design Group helps you choose domain names to serve two specific
and strategic functions: 1) act as a brand for your business, and
2) help you rank higher in search engines.
We’ll advise you on which domain extensions work best for
your business. These are your options:
-
The popular .com's (That’s “dot”
coms.)
-
.net's
-
.biz
-
.tv
-
.org
-
.mobi
Whatever your needs, Seattle Design Group helps you choose domain
names to represent your business and at the same time rank in
the search engines. You name it, we can do it!
Hosting
Once your website design is completed to perfection and you’ve
selected your primary domain name, your site needs a home. Seattle
Design Group takes the hassle out of hosting.
We offer hosting packages ranging from the most basic to the most
demanding with database management, multiple email accounts and
domain names. We can handle it all.
Basic hosting accounts start at just $20 per month and we’re
happy to provide additional options depending on your needs.
Let us be your host.
Ecommerce
If you want to make money online, once we’ve completed website
development, you need to invest in ecommerce to make your sales
ventures seamless. To do this you’ll need to select the best
method for your products/services and you’ll want to make
sure your choice is reliable.
Seattle Design Group offers several, tested and proven options
for ecommerce:
PayPal Ecommerce –
This is an affordable website choice for basic needs and allows
for instant payment right into your bank account. It’s perfect
for businesses requiring a deposit before work begins or businesses
preferring to handle fulfillment and distribution on their own.
SDG MyCart Ecommerce –
This option is the ultimate full-service option. It’s the
cherry on top of your website development. The feature-rich cart
includes email marketing, extensive reporting, coupons, wish list
and so much more already built in!
Custom Database Shopping Carts –
True to Seattle Design Group style, you get exactly what you want
to compliment and enhance your website design. We'll design the
database including every feature and function exactly as you want
it.
The sooner we start, the quicker your success.
Flash Animation
First impressions and it’s no different on the web. In fact,
it could be even more important. Flash animation allows you to connect
on an emotional level with your customers. Incorporating Flash into
your website development allows you to capitalize on animation with
sound and movement to draw your customers in, creating an environment
that’s inviting and enticing. Flash presentations create the
feel for your business and immediately set the tone. The more at
ease your visitors feel, the more comfortable they’ll be doing
business with you. Flash helps you achieve this so customers enter
your site and stay awhile. The ultimate outcome is more leads and
sales for your company. Seriously consider including Flash in your
website design.
Our Flash developers offer you Flash technology at a fraction of
the cost charged by other design firms.
Whether it's a full Flash site or an html Website with Flash elements,
we can supply you with the talent and skill to make your dreams
a reality. Seattle Design Flash delivers every time when incorporated
in your website design.
Content Management
The world is an ever-changing place and that means your marketing
needs to be cutting edge to keep up to speed. This translates into
content management and maintaining fresh copy. Seattle Design Group
has many options for content management.
Do you want to edit your own website? Or, do you have staff capable
of website editing? If so, a Content Management System (or CMS)
is for you.
Do you only need to edit text content on certain pages of your
site? No problem, we can supply you with several tools that make
selective content management super easy.
Or, are you a control freak (and we say that lovingly) who wants
full control of all aspects of your website? If so, a complete database
option may be the best fit for you.
Your wish is our command, with a contract in place, of course.
Contact us and based on our vast knowledge,
we can help you choose the direction that's right for you.
Database
Database websites are powerful tools. They give you freedom to edit
your content in-house and offer portability for easier management.
Fast paced businesses processing lots of information need a data
base website. With a database website it’s easy to:
-
Manage information that changes on a daily or
weekly basis
-
Easily and effectively control the data your
website displays
-
Save time and money in the long run
-
Make changes on the go
If this sounds good to you, let’s get started.
Maintenance
Seattle Design Group takes pride in offering exceptional service.
Regardless of the maintenance option you choose, you can rest easy
knowing we’re here for you if you need us.
Website maintenance can be done on a continual basis (monthly,
quarterly or annually) or on an "as needed" basis. We
stand by our websites and offer you support whatever your needs
may be.
Photography
If a picture is worth a thousand words, then Seattle Design Group
photographers are priceless. We insist on working with "pros"
who capture the essence of your business to showcase your offerings
in the best light. Photos can make or break the image of your website
design and that’s why Seattle Design Group provides photography
services to ensure the success of your Website.
Let us make your site picture perfect:
Give your Website the expert appearance it deserves with professional
photography from Seattle Design Group's members. We work around
your needs and if a professional photographer isn’t in your
budget, we have a library of stock photos available (additional
fees apply).
Copy Writing
Expert wordsmiths are the key to moving your customers past curiosity
and on to the sale. While many businesses choose to provide their
own content, we highly recommend investing in professional copywriting.
A fresh perspective and expert questioning can elicit the information
needed to connect with your audience. Simply put, our copywriters
are trained to make you look good and get the sale.
Copywriters make all the difference. And Seattle Design Group's
copywriters are the best around. They continually invest in their
craft to provide cutting edge techniques that benefit your business.
The written word is a powerful tool if applied the right way.
Seattle Design Group's copy writers are available by the hour for
your project. And, if you choose to provide your own copy, consider
a copyeditor to polish your content to perfection. Contact
us today.

Group's programming wizards. It's not magic, but close to it! Here’s
what we offer:

Email Marketing
Your e-mail marketing will be effortless with Seattle Design Group’s
MyCart System. One of the most valuable assets of your ecommerce
is your permission based e-mail list. A dynamic ecommerce cart coupled
with forceful website design is a formula for success.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by trying to keep in touch
with your customers, relief is here in the form of MyCart. We will
help you market your products to current, new and previous customers.
In virtually a snap of your fingers (well, almost), you’ll
be able to send them discount coupons, email campaigns to promote
new services, or thank you ecards.
Your complete email marketing system is built in to your SDG MyCart
shopping cart system. You can do it yourself or we’re available
to guide you. Again, you call the shots because it’s your
business.
Plus, if you have your own email marketing system, we can build
customized templates to work with them depending on your marketing
goals. Let’s discuss them.
Consulting
Seattle Design Group has experts available to consult on all of
your marketing and advertising needs. We are not limited to website
design and website development. Your possibilities are endless.
Don't know what you want to do? We can help! We offer FREE email
or phone consulting to all our clients. Have a new idea? We can
help you sift through the details. Want to know more about a particular
service? We can guide you in the right direction.
If you’re a new customer, we offer a complimentary 1-hour
consultation after you’ve submitted your bid request. Once
we’ve decided which project direction is best for you, you
have unlimited access to us throughout the duration of that project.
After we’ve successfully completed your first project, we’ll
extend an additional free ½ hour consultation for each hot
new idea you want to discuss. We’ll help you determine what’s
best for your business. Again, when we proceed with the course of
action you ultimately choose, we’re here for you until the
project is finished.
We’re also available on an hourly basis for brainstorming
if desired. It’s up to you. We’ll help you as much or
as little as you like.
Let us know when you want assistance and we’ll help you make
wise decisions for your marketing direction.
Pricing
First, we don’t do cookie cutter price packages. All projects
are as unique as your individual business and we take great care
to match your needs with the expert talents of our group members.
Pricing varies from project to project and also depends on the
services you require, group members involved and project scope.
When you invest in your business by hiring Seattle Design Group,
we make recommendations based on our many years of experience. The
cost and scope of your project is determined not only by your budget
but also by the experience of our group members and their availability.
It's important we know your budget considerations up front so we
don’t waste your time. That’s why we require each potential
client to fill out our online bid request form.
- Generally our basic website design packages start at $3,500 and
higher depending on the needs of your business.
- Ecommerce website development starts at around $4,500 and usually
requires monthly cart charges. However PayPal is a very affordable
ecommerce option if you only have a few products and a tight budget.
- Flash websites design usually starts at $5,000 and goes up from
there.
We try to work within any budget to give our customers exactly
what they want. Because we cannot determine the scope of the project
until we know your specific needs, we only provide firm proposals
after you’ve completed the bid request form and we’ve
had a chance to consult. Let’s get started.
How We Work
When you’re ready to get started on your project, Seattle
Design Group requires 50% of the estimated proposal as a down payment
before any development begins.
Once your deposit is received, we create speculative (or spec)
designs for your review. After you have selected your project or
website design direction, we begin full development. You’re
involved during the process to make decisions and offer suggestions
to enhance your project.
Depending upon the scope of your project, how quickly decisions
are made and your content requirements, the website development
time can take 4-6 weeks. When we’ve completed the project
to your satisfaction and as outlined in our proposal, the balance
is due upon receipt of your final invoice.
Seattle Design Group retains ownership of any and all art work
and programming until the balance due is paid in full.
These are general guidelines for our industry and protect you,
the client, our artists and subsequently, your project. Our goal
is to supply you with a product you can be proud of at an affordable
price.
The bottom line is: We work with you to achieve your goals so your
project is profitable for all concerned.
When you work with Seattle Design Group, you truly have a partnership
to help your business succeed. Let’s work together to create
an outstanding website at an affordable price.
