Frequently Asked Questions:
Prices are influenced by a multitude of factors including: number of pages, time involved in developing the site, costs for graphic design, consultation hours, client preparation (for example, clients submitting print copy that requires reformatting and manual transcription for html design will find costs higher than clients who submit electronic files). Keep in mind that web development is primarily a time intensive "service" rather than just a "product".
Work on your site begins when the initial deposit is received. Most sites are available online within 2-4 weeks, depending on how comprehensive the site is, the client's timeliness in getting material to the developer, and the type of site being considered. For example, a one page private practice site will take considerably less time to develop than a 20 page e-commerce site.
Sites that are available for free, or very low cost, tend to be designed with a cookie-cutter type template-- in other words, one size fits all. There is limited flexibility with style, colors, and format. Astra Design creates sites from scratch, working closely with the customer to develop an aesthetically pleasing and functional web presence. Your unique web site results in an improved web presence and marketing tool.
