How We Price Projects
Some web design companies have
you pick out your new web site from a menu of pre-created designs
and buy one their “site packages” as a product. At
NELiX® Inc., there are no menus or packages because we provide
the service of designing and developing web sites and applications
specifically for your unique company. As a service organization,
our charges are based on the amount of time needed to
meet the requirements of your project. We do the following to
provide accurate quotes:
-
Inquire – we review your industry, gather information
about your company and purpose, and determine the “scope” of
the project.
-
Assess – The scope is everything NELiX® Inc. will accomplish
for you by the project’s end. With the scope defined,
our design and development team members assess how much
time will be needed to complete the those tasks
-
Review – After assessing the work, we normally see
several ways to design a site, development a database, navigate
through a process, etc. NELiX® Inc. will present you with
the options available and explain how each one affects the
project, your company, and your clients so that you make
the most informed decision.
-
Propose – When the review is done, we will provide
you with a fixed bid proposal. Our proposals outline the entire
project and line item each area of design or development so
you can easily breakdown the areas of cost. A fixed bid proposal
means that, regardless of how much time we thought it would
take, NELiX® Inc. will not increase the price pertaining to
the agreed upon project scope.
Our goal from the start of a project to the end of the project
is to have shared understanding and clarity of purpose. NELiX® Inc. wants to make sure that you know what you are spending going
into the project and what you will get out of the project.
Due to the nature of some projects, a fixed bid proposal may
not be suitable or possible. In these scenarios, NELiX® Inc. can
still provide project estimates, but end costs will be determined
by the actual amount of time used and, where applicable, materials
purchased. If you feel that your project will fit this scenario,
please contact one of our sales representatives at 888-318-1388.
