WebLiteExpress
Ideal for the more budget-conscious firm, our WebLite model focuses on speed of delivery. We know that longer website projects consume more resources and cost more to deliver. Prepared to move quickly? If so, this is the package for you! These sites use an existing framework enhanced with bespoke design elements which result in a site unique to your firm. And the best bit....? Your new website can be up and running within just 8 weeks!
- Examples
Bespoke (the gold standard, ideal for larger firms)
Our premier website solution for law firms using bespoke structure and design; they are always built from scratch, brick-by-brick. You can sit back and relax while our design team develop a range of creative concepts during a series of design reviews, until “Design Approval” is reached. Usually with more pages and content, these sites have more hours assigned for loading your content and more time allocated for final design reviews before the site is made live. We can go at a pace appropriate for your firm; while things can run more swiftly, it is not uncommon for projects of this size to take four months.
- Examples
Monthly Operating Costs
| WebLite | Bespoke | |
|---|---|---|
| Bandwidth, Security, Backup | £100 | From £150 |
| Technology License | £100 | From £150 |
| Total Operating Costs | From £200 | From £300 |
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 us which is why we have dedicated Project Managers who co-ordinate with all the other disciplines (designers, developers, web editors etc.)
