How It Works

NO BALLPARKS!

The first question potential web design clients ask is for a "ballpark" price. Since all of our sites are custom designed to fit the needs of our clients, it is a disservice to even mention a price before a fair amount of time has been spent getting to know exactly what our clients want.

Put simply, we do not build $99 web sites and, as a general rule, we do not use pre-made web templates, unless the customization of such templates is specifically requested. This is especially important to consider when comparing price quotes between different design companies.

Our Process:

• Initial Phone or In-Person Consultation
  This lets us get your ideas, wishes, dreams,
  and desires down on paper. In addition,
  it allows us to ask key web technology
  questions that you may not have
  thought about yet.
• Compilation Phase I
  We bring everything we talked
  about back to our offices and
  compile it into a logical list of
  items and ideas. This also allows
  us to do any pending research to answer any
  critical questions.
• Meeting 2
  We now go over the list with you to make sure we are on the same page about concept,
  design, content, and focus. Any new ideas we may have had since the last meeting are
  discussed and categorized now.
• Compilation Phase II
  The final list of items is recompiled and changed accordingly. At this point, the entire
  site plan is broken down into logical site sections and put into an official document
  called the "requirements document."
• Meeting 3
  This is the last chance to polish any last minute changes and come to a solid agreement
  with the client about functionality, sections, content focus, and overall design.
  To this end the client must initial each piece of the requirements document. Should
  there actually be last minute changes, they must be spelled out in
  writing during this meeting and initialed by both parties. Final
  initials on all sections are a signification that there will be no other
  changes to consider before the bid is calculated and the contract
  signed. Clients will be charged an additional processing fee for
  changes made after this step.



• Final Compilation & Bid Creation
  Xcentech now has a final meeting with the web design team at which all requirements
  are broken into logical project segments. From these, time and cost analysis is
  performed and a final contract is created which outlines cost, timeframe, legal terms,
  and estimated maintenance costs.
• Contract Presentation
  The contract is presented and terms are reviewed with the client. Work begins immediately
  after the down payment is processed and cleared.
