What we build, and what it costs
Prices are published up front. These are the ranges this work usually falls in rather than a quote for any particular job.
- Standard website with an admin dashboard — starting at $1,500. Usually two to four weeks. The utilitarian sort that has to work: job calculators, enquiry forms, and a dashboard to manage what is on it.
- Web app — $2,500 to $3,500. Usually four to six weeks. Visually enhanced with graphics and motion, and interactions a standard site does not have: scroll animations, contextual menus, and user logins where they earn their place.
- Kiosk or touchscreen interface — starting at $1,500. Usually four to six weeks. Something in a real place, running unattended, used by people who have never seen it before.
Payment is 50% to begin and 50% on launch.
Touchscreen kiosks for trade shows and showrooms
A stand-alone touchscreen interface people walk up to and understand without being shown how. It runs in a browser on a tablet you already own, in kiosk mode — no app store, no software to roll out, no devices to manage. It touches none of your systems and needs no credentials, so it is not waiting behind anybody’s security review. A price, a product or a correction can be updated from a desk while the screen is still on the show floor.
How we work
Turnaround is two to six weeks for most projects. We build new experiences rather than integrations into systems you already run. You own the finished work once the final invoice is paid. Nothing is signed or charged on this website — a price and a scope are agreed in writing first.
Common questions
- What does it cost?
- A standard website with a dashboard starts at $1,500; a visual narrative website is $2,500 to $3,500; a kiosk interface starts at $1,500. The project wizard on this site narrows it in about two minutes.
- How long does it take?
- Two to six weeks for most projects. Standard websites are usually two to four; web apps and kiosks four to six. These are honest timelines rather than best cases.
- What do you need from me?
- Your content, any brand assets you already have, and timely feedback. The content is the one that usually slips.
- I do not have a logo or brand imagery. Is that a problem?
- No. Starting with nothing means the look is built for the job rather than inherited from something that no longer fits.
- How does payment work?
- Half up front, half on launch.
- Can you work with the systems we already use?
- Usually not, and it is better to say so early. We build new experiences rather than integrations into existing systems.
- We have a hard deadline. Can you move faster?
- Sometimes. Tell us the date in your first message rather than after we have started.
