You probably came here in the process of doing research. You might be a small business owner that wants a quality website with as little ‘tech talk’ as possible and you have a few questions. In an effort to help you make an informed decision we hope this brief Frequently Asked Questions section will be helpful.

Are you full time or part time?

How much does a website cost?
Like any other product or service, a website’s price will depend on what features it has, how well it’s designed and how it’s built. Its very difficult to give a generic price because we design each website to individual requirements so the amount of work involved in each project will be different. For instance, a custom multi functional website involves a lot more work than a simpler single-page website.
Once we have an idea of your requirements, we’ll be able to give you an immediate quote for your site. Give us a call, or fill in the enquiry form on our contact page and we’ll get back to you. If you’re not sure what exactly you’re looking for, we can explain the various options that best meets your needs. Still want more info on costs? Check out this article where we discuss costs more in depth.
How long does it take to create a website?
It depends on your requirements, but we can have smaller websites fully completed in 3–4 weeks, while larger, more complicated sites can take a number of months. If you have a very short time frame requirement, we may be able to work with you depending on how busy we are at that time. The most common delay in the creation of a website is waiting for the initial content and imagery to be compiled by the clients. One suggestion (no matter which web firm you choose) the more prepared you are in the beginning with prepared content (text, images, objectives defined etc) the quicker the process will go.
"...Eric was able to think of solutions for problems we had not even identified."
"I had the pleasure of working with Eric on a significant undertaking for our organization. He takes the time to listen and ask the right questions, leading us to a final product that truly reflects who we are and what we offer to the community.
Eric was able to think of solutions for problems we have not even identified. This proactive approach to website design leaves us feeling extremely pleased with our end product.
Without hesitation I would recommend Silver 6 Media to anyone looking to create or update their web presence."
What are you like to work with ?
I have been described by my customers as “easy to talk to”, “passionate about my customers success” and “wonderful to work with”. I believe most business owners are soo busy running their business’ they don’t have a lot of time to learn about web coding languages like HTML, CSS and a bunch of other technical acronyms. They are looking for someone they can trust, pay a fair rate and yield results for their time and effort.
What does a ‘typical’ website process look like?
While every project has its own unique features/goals, we have found in many cases the following can be used as a general process to create/re-design a website.

How are your payments structured ?
We require 50% down payment on projects and the remaining 50% upon project completion. This is a common pricing structure in the web industry. Should you wish to discuss other terms please let us know.
