How long will it take to build the site?

A typical small business site takes 4 to 6 weeks of development, CMS sites about 6 to 8 weeks, and eCommerce sites can take 2 to 3 months or longer depending on their complexity. In reality we can complete the work in a faster timeframe, but we do not want to mislead our clients by promising them a timeframe that does not include time for client feedback and testing. Both of these elements are critical to launching a successful websites that is designed to meet your business's needs, and should not be rushed.

 

How much will it cost?

Our small business sites start at $850. It is difficult to discuss price without first gaining a complete understanding of the details of your project. Our sites are custom designed which means we can only provide you with a quote after a free initial consultation to determine your web design needs.

Do you outsource your design and development work to a third party?

Absolutely not. We do use offshore development, but all of our offshore staff are full time MediaLinkers employees.

This allows our clients to take advantage of our extremely low development costs while still having the full confidence of being able to call, email, or have a live meeting with a representative right here in Atlanta.
