What to consider before building a website

Websites, at their core, are powerful marketing funnels. The key lies in the ability of visitors to understand your purpose within 30 seconds or less. Each landing page should cater to a specific audience and possess distinct goals.

  • Defining Purpose:
    • What does the website aim to achieve?
    • How does it solve the visitor’s problem?
  • Scannability Matters:
    • Visitors should easily grasp the content.
    • Is the website designed for easy scanning?
  • Copy Excellence:
    • Quality matters in every aspect of the content.
    • Grammar, sentence structure, typos, and working links contribute to a seamless user experience.
  • Security Check:
    • A secure website is a trustworthy website.
    • Are the security measures up to par?
  • Brand Identity:
    • Consistency is key.
    • Does the brand kit shine through your website?
  • Compelling Calls to Action:
    • Guide your visitors toward next steps.
    • Is the call to action prominent and compelling?
  • Performance Evaluation:
    • Speed, accessibility, and SEO play crucial roles.
    • Our website performance optimization test, conducted through WebPageTest, provides a comprehensive analysis.

What it costs to have a website

  • One-time Setup
  • Customer Responsibility
  • Ongoing Maintenance
This is what we do

One-time Setup

We don’t list one-time setup prices because your individual needs and desires can affect the price dramatically. To design a site from scratch, we start at $500 for the most basic static designs and go up from there. 

Things that drive up the one-time costs: 

  1. Interfacing with third parties like inventory systems, shipping systems, or other dynamic content displaying on the site (can add significant cost depending on the system)
  2. Setting up functionality to distribute content on social media (usually around $200-$300 one time)
  3. Designing custom graphic elements for use on the site (billed per element).

You are in charge

Customer Responsibility

Things that we do not provide:

  1. Images (products, team, other images). If we need images, we’ll source them from free stock image sources. Any images that require royalty licensing will be your responsibility. 
  2. Content (we’ll try our best based on content from Facebook and elsewhere to get you accurately represented, and we help with editing and proofreading initial content)
  3. Store management (i.e. inventory, adding/removing products/images, customer service)

We will teach you how to do all of these things and be a resource to answer any questions.

Managed Hosting

Ongoing Maintenace

The power of WordPress is that you own the content and data. The liability of WordPress is that you are responsible to retain and safeguard that data. When you partner with WP Steward, what you get is the best of both worlds: it’s still your data, but we take on the responsibility of safeguarding it. 

We require all of our customers to use our Managed Hosting services so we continue to make your website work smoothly for you. Here are two of our blog posts that explain it better…
