Sometimes people ask us how we keep our prices so reasonable. It’s a fair question. There are web developers out there charging $20,000 for a basic five-page website. We are not those developers.
Here is where we invest: good artists, good tools, good developers. That’s it. We can scale using trusted contractors when projects need it. We don’t mark up local services like hosting or photography. We just pass those costs along at what they actually cost, because adding a margin there felt strange to us.
What we really like is making genuine connections with people and figuring out exactly what you need. Not what sounds impressive in a proposal. Just the thing that will actually help your business or community.
What You Won’t Get From Us
We don’t meet in your office anymore. We don’t have a big office with a fancy boardroom. No chandelier. No barista.
That stuff is nice, I suppose. But someone has to pay for it, and it’s usually the client. We decided a while ago that wasn’t for us.
If you want to be wined and dined, we don’t mind that, but it’s not really our thing. What we get excited about is cool technology and making websites that actually work for you. That probably sounds less glamorous than a catered lunch meeting, but it’s honest.
So Why Aren’t We Cheap?
Affordable and cheap are different things.
Our work holds up. It’s built well. We use tools that aren’t proprietary locked-down services you get trapped in. We use standard products with excellent longevity because we know you want something great now and something great years from now.
Something you can keep updating. Something that can grow with you. Something you can edit and maintain yourself.
And here’s the part that matters: at the end of our relationship, you keep everything. No strings attached. If you want to work with someone else or need to bring it in-house, we make sure that process is easy. You maintain everything you’ve built over the years. It belongs to you.
One More Thing
We also focus on supporting nonprofits with free websites because it makes Louisville a better place to live. That’s not a business strategy, really. It just feels like the right thing to do. that is where we prefer to invest. It might not make us look fancy, but we are ok with that.
So no, we don’t have the fancy office. But we will set you up quickly, answer your questions honestly, and give you an excellent product for a great price.
Turns out you can have something that’s quick, affordable, and well-made. It just comes without the unnecessarily fancy overhead.
Why pay for your developer’s chandelier when you don’t have to?
