Extra Options
If you need any extra options, we are flexible. We've provided as much information as possible for you to be able to make an informed decision about your purchase.
E-commerce Capabilities
Price on request
We specialize in building professional & engaging e-commerce stores, to help you easily sell your art inventory & art services online. Let us help you succeed! We fuse beautiful design with business strategy. We pride ourselves on the ability to understand clients' needs, whatever art sector they happen to be in.
Add French Language
Price on request
We know the challenges of creating bilingual websites. We utilize WPML for multiple language integration in our websites and we're darn good at it! We include the fee for the premium plugin in our price for one year, and we'll set it up so that it works flawlessly.
Blogging Section
Price on request
WordPress is built for blogging, so if you need to have a section for a blog or news area we can design and implement that for you. Why is it not included in our base price? Well, we realized that many of our clients didn't really need it. Having a blog takes a lot of commitment and resources to really reap the benefits. Having an outdated blog can be perceived negatively. That's why we give our clients the option to add a blog design if they wish to do so.

What's Included in our Website Packages
We've provided as much information as possible for you to be able to make an informed decision about your purchase.
Included Services
We custom design and develop your website from the ground up to seamlessly match your brand. It's very important that you already have a brand/logo developed. If you do not have a brand yet, please inquire for branding services.
Style and Typography Guide
We take your brand and tailor a style/moodboard tile that reflects the personality of your new website. We complement that with a typography guide that will give you a feeling of font integrations.
1 Design Option and 2 Revisions
After a detailed questionnaire and getting to know you and your business, we will offer you 1 design option, with 2 revision sessions. If for any reason you are completely unhappy with the design, we'll work with you until you're satisfied.
Prototype on Invision
We create mock prototypes before starting development, so that you can really test drive your website and how it flows. No more emails with attached designs or bulky PDFs, you will really experience it as if it's already live.
Data Entry
If you get us all your content within the timeframe provided, we will gladly enter all your data for you! We also have a copywriter and translator on standby if you need help getting that done (extra charges apply).
Mobile Friendly Version
We always design and develop a mobile adaptive version of your website, so that your site looks great in any type of device and screen size!
2 weeks of troubleshooting & support
We'll hold your hand through the launch and help answer any questions you may have about your new web property. We build the sites so that you can manage them yourself, but if you need us to continue managing them, our hourly rate is $75/h CAD. Preferential rates are available for independent artists.
Needed Assets
In order for us to process your website quickly, we will need the following assets from you as soon as possible.
SiteMap
Let us know what pages you want for your website. For this standard WordPress website package, people usually choose (Home, About Us, Services, Contact and one extra page that you can customize to your specific business).
Branding and Assets
Create a folder with all your branding assets. This includes your logo file in vector or photoshop, and all photography and fonts that you have for your brand. This website package is contingent on you having your branding already.
Content
Your content needs to be ready by the time we start development, or we will use dummy text to complete the project. If you have any content that you know you want to use, please submit it to us in a Word document. If you opt for translations, please also submit us translations for each part of your website.
Domain Name
We encourage our clients to setup their DNS on GoDaddy for easy DNS management, caching, and data loss prevention. This way, you will keep your domain name safe, and we can customize the settings for the website and take it live. Before we go live, we would request you to change your nameservers in your domain providers screen. We can also guide you through this if you have no idea what we are talking about here.
Hosting
If you have a hosting plan we can easily accommodate setting up your website on it. We also offer many hosting packages and bundles if you want us to take care of it. Please see contact us for options.
4–6

Delivery Time
Typically we start working on your project the day after all your assets and website questionnaire are returned to us. For custom designed websites, you should typically see the first draft of your website ready within two weeks. If you need your site faster, please email us and let us know. We will do everything we can to expedite your website!
