“What is this going to cost me?” or “What does this normally cost?”
I hear this question all the time. Whether it is regarding an mobile application for a popular smart phone, or if its for a customized online revenue platform (more commonly referred to as a “Website”).
Lets talk about determining value and cost for an online revenue platform.
Pricing and determining value is challenging for everyone, even the pros! How do you find the sweet spot and make sure you are getting the most VALUE for your MONEY?
Wanna know the secret? It’s research to determine ROI. Sounds too simple to be true doesn’t it? I would agree with you on this one, but it is often overlooked.
1. What kind of baseline functionality is needed for a high value online revenue platform?
Understanding exactly what you are paying for, and it’s ROI is what determines value for your hard earned money. So if you are going to pay $5000 + to build a beautiful and customized online store, integrated with shipping solutions, tax calculations, inventory management, and fulfillment integrations, then you better know what kind of return its going to bring you, and know that the people creating this solution for you know as well!
2. What good is an online store that doesn’t rank well in Popular Search Engines?
The answer is no good at all. Thats why on top of a fully functioning online revenue platform, you NEED to have an online strategy that keeps your site ranking well WITHOUT spending money on pay per click ads. Did you know that many small and medium size business sites wont load in google, even when you type in the site name? Thats because the developer, or the client, didn’t know to build, code, and format the site to rank in Google at all. What a waste of time and money!
3. Why can’t I just outsource it abroad for a heavy cut in price?
This is actually a common question we receive. What most clients, and sadly most web specialist fail to realize is that something as important as a web based revenue platform is not a series of technical tasks for technical people to complete. Its a vision and a strategy, artfully executed by a team of consultants, artists, developers, and IT professionals. You could outsource your entire project to a more than eager team abroad, but what they see (and this comes from personal experience) is an opportunity to take your money, complete your tasks, and wave farewell. Some people value that over high effectiveness and quality.
And ultimately that is what sets us apart. We work with our clients to create realistic goals that can be measured down to the last dollar. We make sure what we are building is meant to last for the coming years, is secure, meets YOUR goals, and can be self managed. If what you are looking for is the cheapest possible option, then head over to oDesk.com and find yourself a freelancer. On the contrary, if what you are looking for is Value, Beauty, Quantitative results, and long term sustainability. We may be a great fit to work together!
