Website Design & Development for Small Businesses

The scope of work for website design and development includes all the tasks, deliverables, and activities required to complete the project, such as design, development, testing, and launch. The scope will be outlined in the project proposal and refined as we learn more about your specific needs in the initial discovery or kickoff activities.

Project start dates are set once the agreements are signed and initial payments

are received. Our typical kickoff is about 3 weeks out from signed contracts. Reach out for current availability.

The timeline for developing a website can vary, but we typically see projects launch within 1-3 months.

All of our websites are designed to be responsive and mobile-friendly. We optimize for three breakpoints and address any additional requirements as needed.

We understand the importance of SEO for driving website traffic. While we don't offer SEO management services, we build your website in a way that makes it easy for search engines to crawl and understand it. That way, it will be easier for people to find your website when they search for things related to your business. And don't worry, we'll give you some tips and tools to keep improving your website's SEO after it's launched.

The cost of creating a website varies based on the complexity and functionality required, as well as the level of craftsmanship and experience desired. Underbelly specializes in building exceptional websites for small businesses and large enterprises. A basic website can typically cost between $5,000 and $15,000, while a more complex website with custom features can cost $20,000 or more. E-commerce or enterprise websites can cost over $100,000, and are tailored to meet the specific needs of the client.

At Underbelly, security is a top priority when delivering websites. We take steps to ensure that your website is protected from hacking and other cyber threats by following industry best practices, such as using secure connections, regular software updates, and the latest technology. We also offer additional security options, like SSL certificates, two-factor authentication, and data encryption, for clients with specific security needs. Let us know if you have any specific worries, and we'll be happy to chat about how we can help.

In a fixed-price contract, the scope of work is defined and agreed upon before the project begins. We will be responsible for completing all the tasks and deliverables within the scope of the project, and the price will remain fixed. If changes are requested to the scope, we can provide an estimate for that.

In a time and materials contract, the scope of work is not defined upfront and can change during the project without the need for change orders or new work estimates. The agency will charge for the time and materials used, and the total cost of the project will depend on the scope of work and any changes made to it.

We know that you want to be able to update your site on your own, that's why we build it on easy-to-use Content Management Systems (CMS) like Contentful, Sanity, or Webflow. Our team will work with you to make sure that your website meets your specific needs and budget. And don't worry, we'll give you all the training and information you need to make updates to your website yourself. But if you're looking for something super unique, special, and cutting-edge, we can also make a custom-built website that will be a technologically forward experience tailored to your unique brand and offering.

Typically, up to 3 rounds of revisions will be included in the initial agreement. If more revisions are needed, we can provide an estimate for that. We base our estimates based off of past performance data and the perceived complexity of the specific work to be completed.
