Frequently Asked Questions

  • How much does it cost to build a website?
    This one takes first place as the most frequently asked question regarding websites. Unfortunately, there is no exact dollar amount we could tell anyone inquiring about building out a website for their business, organization or self. The total cost to design, develop, and/or maintain a website varies and that is because it is heavily dependent on the requirements the client is looking for in a website. The amount of work and effort that goes into building out an e-commerce website is much more resource dependent than that of a local church. There are quite a few things that go into the overall cost to create a website, we have outlined some of those points below. Does the client need brand photography or do they prefer to use stock images? Does the client need a logo? Does the client need graphics? Does the client need us to develop the content writing? Does the client need a custom website or is their business need suitable for an existing template? While the above considerations can seem overwhelming they are all vital in building out a website that is usable by your end users and effective for your business. We are to help you understand what it is your venturing into and how we can make that happen. If you still have questions please do not hesitate to reach out to us: info@dallastexaswebdesignco.com
  • How long does it take to design a website?
    The time it takes to design a website can vary depending on several factors, including the complexity of the project, the scope of work, and the availability of the client to provide feedback and content. For a simple brochure website with a few pages, it could take a few weeks to a month to complete the design process. However, for a more complex website with custom functionality, such as an e-commerce site, it could take several months to design and develop. It's also important to note that the timeline can be affected by factors outside of the designer's control, such as delays in getting content from the client, unexpected design changes, or technical issues that need to be resolved. To get a better estimate of how long it would take to design your specific website, it's best to set up a quick phone call or fill out our contact form to share your project's details and requirements.
