Why should I hire a professional to build my website?  Back to Top

There are many in the field who represent themselves as web designers. The bottom line is you get what you pay for! Some consultants can create great looking websites; however, no one can find this website when a potential customer is searching for services. Other Internet developers use outdated technology and are unaware of correct syntax and coding that are essential for your website to universally appear on different Internet browsers. Incorrect development of a website can cause many unwanted headaches in the future.

At DuBose Web Group, we employ different experts to find the most effective solution for your website.

How long will it take to build my website?  Back to Top

Our team individually engages each client – one customer at a time – to tailor the right services around the customer’s website needs. Generally, each project takes 2-4 weeks and is individually assessed with an estimated date of completion provided when the customer signs a simple agreement with deposit. The following variables also impact the length of time it takes to build the website:

• The complexity of your intended project.
• The customer’s ability to provide content information to the designer in a timely manner.
• The company’s workload at the time of your request.

We consider our work as art and under no circumstances will we sacrifice quality in order to generate more money.

How much will it cost to build my website?  Back to Top

Every website contains different graphics and a great deal of programming in order to effectively reach the intended high quality outcome. After our team carefully examines the extent of your website development, we are able to provide a pricing estimate. You will find our costs to be reasonable and average among most Internet development companies. However, you get what you pay for! Many of our customers are former clients of other web designers who provided these services at a cheaper cost, providing a less effective website.
