Your website is almost always the first thing people see. In the eyes of the web searcher, some companies are invisible, some are dirty, some are unprofessional, and some are outstanding and worthy of their business. Having a great website is crucial to anyone that takes their project, business or organization seriously. Your website is arguably the most important investment you can make.
Almost every project starts with a simple phone or email conversation. Based on our conversation, you’ll receive a basic proposal with a quote. Before we get started, most clients in the Nashville area prefer to meet face-to-face to discuss the project, though this is optional. We’ll discuss your needs, sketch out some ideas, and review similar projects. A 50% down-payment is required to start your project, which can be mailed or provided at the meeting.
The average website is complete within 2 to 4 weeks. The most time-consuming aspect of web design is communication – the faster we communicate, the faster the project is complete.
Almost all of the Modern Spark website projects fall in the $1,500 to $5,000 price range.
There are dozens of web design firms, freelancers and nephews that create websites. The focus here isn’t just websites or graphics or marketing. The goal is to create a lasting relationship that allows your business or organization to thrive long-term. Almost 100% of the Modern Spark client list is a long-term client, meaning they either have an ongoing contract, send referrals or repeatedly come back for additional marketing materials or consultation. Every client knows they can call or send an email and talk to a trusted source. This isn’t a fly-by-night web design guy that randomly disappears – it’s a deep-rooted business relationship.
Yes. Search engine results can make or break your business, so it is a primary focus when developing your website. WordPress, the platform used for every Modern Spark website, is ideal for search engines due to its “permalink” structure, built-in blogging features and plug-ins. If you really want to boost your traffic, frequent blogging is recommended.
Yes, definitely. If you aren’t interested in maintaining or updating your website on your own, you just email your updates and they are added to your site within 48 hours or less. Maintenance packages are very popular and way less of a hassle for most clients.
Absolutely. All of Modern Spark’s projects are built around the WordPress platform to allow for easier content management. WordPress has been at the heart of every Modern Spark website project since 2008, which has really allowed ample time to learn the platform. While there are other content management systems out there (such as Joomla), WordPress is the focus here.
