General

How is the cost of my project determined?
Your project will be quoted through the order page. There are different options which you can choose according to your desires. The total price will be shown automatically at the bottom of the page, after you have filled in the number of pages in your project and the desired options. We consider orders as a bulk when an order contains over 12 mark-up pages. Quotes for bulk orders will be provided after we have received an approval from the manager. The manager will check the designs and requirements for the project. On the order page you can choose the options you desire, and a quote for CMS (WordPress, Drupal, Joomla) will be provided automatically. The cost structure is based on the options selected, and the simplicity or complexity of the pages. Every project is unique and we try to make sure our pricing is based on your specific needs.

Can I get a discount?
We apply the following discount rules:
We only apply discounts for bulk projects (12 mark-up pages). For each secondary HTML / CSS page of the same website you can get a certain discount percentage. After we have investigated your designs and requirements, we will be able to provide you an exact discount percentage.
Feel free to contact us by phone or mail.

How long does it take to develop my project?
One HTML / CSS page takes approximately 8 working hours. Each additional page in the same project takes 3–8 working hours. However, it depends on the complexity and
specifications of the project. After we have collected all the details and they are crystal clear
between the client and the project manager, then we will start the project. The time will vary from project to project.
When you post an order on the order page, you will see the approximate delivery days of your project. Take into account that the delivery time may change depending on the complexity and specifications of your project. If you want to speed up the delivery, you can choose the expedited service, at an additional cost.
However, designs which using JPEG, GIF, AI, PNG, non-layered PSD files have a longer delivery time in general. Designs which using AI / EPS / inDD etc. formats need to be converted into PSD. We will need your confirmation for this before we proceed with the mark-up. Take into account that this may take additional time. You have to make sure that you enclose all the external images and fonts used in your AI / EPS file. CMS / eCommerce basic integration is scheduled separately from HTML / CSS mark-up, depending on the functionality required and usually takes 2–3 business days. The ETA for website development projects is provided upon thoughtful investigation with the quote.

What are your opening hours?
Our openings hour are from Monday to Friday (08.30-17.30). We are available through all major holidays in the EU, except on Dec 31 and Jan 1. If you wish timeline adjustments in your project, we can check for possible expedited delivery and weekend work. Changes in our schedule will be announced on our site for our clients.

If I want some changes to the completed mark-up, can you help me?
Of course, we can help. We love to help you with minor adjustments, even if they are not included in your original project specifications. However, if the adjustments require a great deal of additional effort, the changes will be quoted separately.

What is the SSI option and what is it purpose?
SSI as known as Server Side Includes is a server-side scripting language that enables website maintenance easier. The components which come all the way through the site are placed in different files to protect resources from the server. For example, the header of your site will be loaded from the SSI file and will be automatically showed on each page of your site, regardless of how many pages you have.
You will receive two versions of the site, when you select this option. One version will include HTML pages, which can be opened both locally and from the server. The other version will use SSI. Including PHP is also possible upon request. We would like to ask you to specify which components you want to be included in the SSI.

Do you need any additional information if I order layout width: flexible? 
If you would like the Layout Width: Flexible option, then please make clear of the following:

  • How the pages should stretch horizontally

  • What the alignment of the components should be
  • Please send us a screenshot representing the page at higher resolutions.
    The minimum width of the pages will match the width of the design files provided.

    Please send us the layered PSD files where the text is editable. In case you are not able to provide us these and the text is flattened, contact and inform us which font styles should be used, so that we can insert text placeholders.
