Offerings
Initial Consultation
FREE
Whether you’re interested in on demand or project based web consulting (or just kicking tires), this is a good place to start.
It’s amazing how many clients begin their project without a sense of scope or a clear definition of goals. I would argue that this is the biggest mistake you can make. It’s often very expensive.
This free consultation will hone your ideas & establish valuable expectations as you look for qualified designers, developers & marketing people.
Process
- Thorough pre-meeting questionnaire
- Discovery session (1/2 hour via phone)
- Technology audit
- Marketing audit
- Potential vendor evaluation
- Follow-up session (1/2 hour via phone)
Deliverables
- Pre-meeting questionnaire for future vendor evaluation
- Summary of challenges
- Recommendations
- Expected budget
- Next steps
While this is a truly free offering, I put a lot of time and thought into it. It’s highly valuable. I do this free work because the majority of consultees find it so valuable that they become long term clients. There’s no obligation.
On Demand
$150/hr
This offering is affordable and yet beyond price for marketing teams and those without dedicated IT or web maintenance services.
If you’re a marketing person and often find yourself in situations that demand intense knowledge of emerging web technology this offering is for you.
I request a revolving fund equal to 3 hours ($450) from which time is deducted in 15 minute increments. You will be invoiced again when the fund reaches $150.
Benefits
- Secure client area/collaboration tool
- Access to private email
- Access to private cell
- In person meetings
- One hour response 8am-4pm CST
Project Based
20% Project Budget
Typically I find that clients save 15%-20% by hiring me to manage their project & select vendors. How? I know great people who get things done quickly and I know what their time is worth. This is why I ask for 20% of the project budget.
For clients with budgets of $3000 plus I can save a significant amount of time and headache. The Web is a complex place where jargon abounds. In order for most clients to make an educated decision about the people and technology they choose it could take weeks or months of research and evaluation with no guarantee.
