Project Management.
Ever been part of a website project that was a disaster from start to finish. Things overran by weeks or even months, Partners were frustrated by the speed that things took to get done. Heck, we've even seen projects where people lost their jobs over them. Project management is important to use which is why we ask you to budget for a project management charge of 10% on top of the website design & build prices above.
