Design & Content Overview

Design and Content creation are not a default part of a build but can be provided as an additional service by qualified specialists.

Design Options focuses on the creation and standardisation of design elements through a site.

Content Services provide text and media (images and video) content for inclusion in a website.

Design and Media Content options require a Brand Analysis, which is a one-time consultation where we understand the brand and how it is used.  A CI is helpful in this, but we also like to understand the softer drivers of the brand’s persona.

Likewise the text components require a once-off Content Strategy session where we work out a plan once we understand your brands voice and approach.


Page Options

The Website build calculator is based on pages that are typically used in a website.  When selecting a website type, various pages are selected and the costs are based on these pages.

In Page Options you can select pages from the long list of pages.  The cost of a page is based on its Page Type which can be viewed by hovering over a Page Option.

Items with “Multi” next to them have the ability for multiple of these pages to be added into the cost. When enabled, extra fields appear at the end of the list of Pages where additional pages can be added per Page Option.

Page Type Overview

When a Website Type is selected, a number of Page Options are selected based on that website template.  These pages are listed under Selected Pages.

Next to that is the template being used and detail on the number of pages and changes made to that template.

Page Types have a defined duration for building a page which governs the cost of the website build.

Items can be overridden here, or in the Page Options section.  

Build Options

The Build options section allows for various options that affect the overall build.

Free Plugins Only

This removes all paid plugins from the solution and identifies aspects that will not be available if this is required.

Levels of Refinement

This allows toggling between various options around the time we spend and additional spend on premium plugins to make the site awesome.   Sometimes there is a need for a work-horse, sometimes there is a need for a unicorn.  This option is a general adjuster for investment required.

I need help with design

We have awesome qualified designers that can design pages, elements and individual custom images that fit with your brand and make the website pop.  By default, we do standard web design, but if you need a graphic designer, this can be included by checking this box, and filling in the info in the Design and Content section lower down.

I need help with content

We have qualified  journalists and designers that can help build content for any site. By default, we do not provide content like imags and text, but if you need this it can be included by checking this box, and filling in the info in the Design and Content section lower down.

Functionality

Functionalities are typical solutions businesses require for their websites.  

Each Functionality has the following features:

  • Plugin Costs and whether a free version exists
  • Labour required to implement the functionality
  • Impact on hosting and maintenance requirements
 
As an item is enabled, the calculation is updated automatically.

Complexity

On the ecommerce and hosting calculators there is a Complexity meter which adds up the impact value of each functionality to work out:

  • Whether the site should be on standard or beefed-up hosting
  • What level of maintenance is needed
 
Too many plugins increases the chances of software conflicts and we recommend that functionality is kept to a minumum and added to carefully.

Website Build Calculator Overview

The website build cost calculator is based on a templated approach where a number of website types have been defined and, when selected, populate the calculator with pre-defined pages and functionality that is typical for that kind of website.

Get started by selecting a Website Type.

As you select a Website Type, the calculator will display a cost estimate based on that template.

Disabling Easy Mode once the Website Type is selected, displays the Page Types, Page Options and the Functionality sections.  Page and Functionality options allow you to add or remove  pages and functionality to craft your preferred website.

Additional Info:

  • Build Options present a number of build related features like content or design as well as the ability to only use free plugins.
