How much does a website cost?

Our website projects typically range from $3,000 for a starter branding site to $25,000+ for custom web applications with advanced functionality. Every project is scoped individually based on your goals, features, and timeline. Contact us for a free consultation and custom quote.

How long does a project take?

Most website projects are completed in 4 to 8 weeks from kickoff to launch. Complex web applications or e-commerce builds may take 8 to 12 weeks. We provide a detailed timeline during our discovery phase so you know exactly what to expect.

What industries do you serve?

We work with businesses across industries including healthcare, real estate, e-commerce, hospitality, professional services, political campaigns, and startups. Our Rochester, NY roots give us deep expertise in the Upstate New York market, but we serve clients nationwide.

Do you offer ongoing support after launch?

Yes. We offer ongoing maintenance, hosting, SEO monitoring, and content updates through flexible monthly retainer plans. Every client also receives 30 days of complimentary post-launch support to ensure a smooth transition.

What's the difference between a logo and a brand?

A logo is a single visual mark — one piece of your brand. A brand is the complete system: strategy, positioning, visual identity, messaging, voice, and the emotional experience people have with your business. We build the entire system, not just a logo.

How long does brand development take?

A core identity package (logo, colors, typography, basic guidelines) typically takes 6-8 weeks. A full brand strategy with comprehensive guidelines and collateral takes 10-16 weeks. Brand transformations with market research and multi-channel rollout can take 4-6 months.

Do you do market research?

Yes. Our Full Brand and Brand Transformation packages include competitive analysis, audience research, and market positioning studies. We use data-driven insights to inform every strategic decision, ensuring your brand is positioned for real-world impact.

Can you rebrand an existing business?

Absolutely. We regularly help established businesses evolve their brand through strategic rebranding. We assess what equity to preserve, what to update, and how to transition without losing existing customer trust and recognition.

What's included in brand guidelines?

Our brand guidelines document logo usage rules, color specifications (HEX, RGB, CMYK, Pantone), typography hierarchy, spacing and layout principles, photography direction, tone of voice, and application examples. They serve as the definitive reference for anyone producing branded materials.

How does brand strategy connect to web design?

Brand strategy is the foundation of effective web design. Your website is often the first brand experience a potential customer has. We frequently pair our brand strategy work with our web design services to create a seamless, unified brand presence. See our web design services for more details.
