Process & Timeline

Web & Digital Growth Platforms typically take from 3-6 months. Timing depends on: scope of inclusions, whether Branding is needed first, and client turnaround. Projects are broken into 4 major stages: 1) Research / Diagnostic + Strategic Plan (1 month). 2) Design (1-2 months). 3) Build (1-2 months). 4) Launch & Training (1/2 - 1 month).

Timing depends on how quickly your firm, and your decision makers are able to work, make decisions, answer questions, fill in missing content, photography, and marketing materials.  Everything we do, we do with intention, purpose, and we do it for long-term sustainable growth.

Pricing

Web & Digital Growth Platforms typically range from $2,500 - $75,000 (Depending on number and scope of inclusions needed).  To get exact pricing for your organization Contact Us.

What Happens After Completion

This will bring your firm to a public launch, and includes the education & training to begin using your platform, and generating leads as early as day 1.  (We’ve had clients pay for the entire cost on day 1 of the launch).  You will pay for your hosting ongoing (paid to your host, not us), but you will have no ongoing costs to us unless you decide to continue coaching, consulting, or make changes later on down the road.
