[Hidden-tech] who is local who does website ux/ui/branding ?

[Rob Laporte]

Hi Sam,

Wow, Itabix does a lot. Years ago my search marketing firm began extricating ourselves from any web dev, to focus on our core expertise in search marketing and conversion rate optimization, and to avoid the burgeoning complexity, risks, and potential legal liabilities in web dev and hosting. We often refer clients and prospects to firms we like. I have a few questions I share with the HT list here, so all may know. I suggest putting such answers on your About Us page.

Who is on your team, and what are their specialties and backgrounds? I’ve found that these days, and increasingly, adequacy, to say nothing of excellence, requires ever more specialization. Website security, technical SEO within general SEO, Local SEO, PPC search vs. display, ROI planning, website design, website coding (even in WP), and more, increasingly demand one dedicated pro for each.

If your team can pull off adequacy in all the services on your website--and for the incredible prices you cite--your team and management systems must be first-rate, and worth Western Mass knowing about.


Take Care,


Rob Laporte

Hi Rich,

Sorry I haven't answered until now, lots going on. It's a bit difficult question to answer accurately just based on your description. It seems like they would be simple sites - I'd venture a range between $700 and $1500 depending on how much we'd need to customize the WordPress theme and how we'd connect and display the data sources. And if you wanted multiple sites that use features from the first site, that would lower the cost for the additional sites.

I can give you some examples of sites we've done along with their cost.

https://connectingpoint.nepm.org/
We just finished doing a complete redesign for New England Public Media's Western Mass television news show. The site was originally an archival site, they wanted to switch it to be more interactive and live and they wanted something very clean and light to highlight the images and video feeds. We switched to a different theme (Divi is our go-to these days). We needed to script the blog pages and the slider to allow for using either an image or a video from either YouTube or their proprietary system.
The site includes a timer function, at midnight on Friday it shows a countdown to 6pm along with information information and images about the episode along with buttons for adding you to their mailing list and another to be put on a reminder list for upcoming shows. When the countdown ends at 6pm it refreshes the page and shows the live feed and hides the episode information, then at 6:30 it switches back to the normal site. $2,500.

https://presencia.nepm.org/
Also for New England Public Media, we developed this bilingual website for their show. Similar issue with displaying the blog post videos or images. $1730.

Converted the existing WordPress site and set up a custom ticket selection system. $1400.

https://mitsuwa.com/
We develop this site for a Chicago advertising agency that has Mitsuwa, a national Japanese grocery store chain, as their client. The ad agency gives us the design and we implement it. We converted their site to Divi, as well.
We developed a complex system for them where they can import a batch of products in an Excel spreadsheet (and upload images) to display their products for each of the stores, for a video feed in their stores, for upcoming sales and for vendors and management to preview upcoming sales before they go live. In addition, they can set up banner images and events with images and text. All of these (product batches, individual banners, and individual events) are set to display in any particular store according to an assigned date range.
They keep adding functions so I'll just say the conversion to Divi and basic functions I described were approx. $10,000. We're also currently working on a shopping cart system that organizes pickups and deliveries for $5760.

https://www.kimata.com/
Another site we developed for the Chicago advertising agency which supplied the design. A personnel site in English and Japanese displaying available jobs in the US and a separate site for Mexico. We created a backend system for managing both applicants and companies. $7500.

https://inner-act.com/
Converted an existing site to WordPress and re-developed it and created the animations, they supplied the logo. $1700.

Simpler sites we developed and created the logo for:
https://oilco-op.com/ - also developed the slideshow, and developed a custom member signup and management system with three different tiers and different pricing depending on the month you sign up. $1900.
https://wellspringneuro.com/ $650.
https://adimech.com/ $650.
https://optimalbrain.com/ $650.

best,
Sam
