It sounds like you need a custom estimate! If your project doesn’t fall into one of our packages, please fill out the Request for Proposal (RFP) for as thoroughly as possible, checking off the add-ons you’d like and filling in the comment area with the details of your project.  We will contact you with any questions we may have. Please allow up to 5-7 business days for a completely custom estimate.

Depending on the availability of your designer, we can work with a modest budget. You might not be able to get everything on your website wishlist, but we can certainly try to work within your budgetary restrictions. If we cannot, we’ll tell you straight away. We’re not here to yank your charitable chain. 

A personal blog is the most popular form of blog on the Internet.  Often it is written from a first-person perspective, usually providing insight into the blogger’s everyday life or on a genre-specific topic.  For our purposes, any blog authored by one individual for non-commercial or non-professional reasons falls under the personal blog category.  Group blogs (2 or more authors) may also be covered under the “personal blog” heading, though additional site needs required to accommodate more than one author may increase your estimate.

If your blog consists of more than one blog, receives high traffic and offers generous advertising (i.e. not just Google ads, but BlogAds, Federated Media or any other commercial advertising) we usually consider this a Pro Blog.  Blogs that receive high traffic and make advertising a priority require more consideration and work that a pleasure blog. If your blog goes outside of the usual blog structure outlined here, it will increase your estimate.

Everyone has a different definition of “a simple website"or “just a blog”.  One person might assume a “simple website” includes 5 pages, a contact form and a gift certificate to BestBuy.  While another person might think a simple website is just a one-page deal.  It’s tricky for us to give you a ballpark without some indication of what you expect. 

We don’t have a set-in-stone price list for several reasons. Your needs are not the same as the next guy, nor his the same as the nice lady before him. Everyone wants something a little bit different. The Moxie Girls™ being able to accommodate those needs is the reason you’re here. 

If you provide us with important details about what you want from your website, such as what the site is for, how much content and what type, if you need a logo, etc., then we can provide you with a detailed estimate for your individual project… with pleasure!  Why don’t you peruse our packages to get an idea of where to start. If you’re interested, just fill in that handy Request for Proposal (RFP) and you’re on your way.

Here are some other helpful links to help you in your budgeting decisions:

• How Much Should a Design Cost? by Pearsonified.com

Why yes, there is!  Our Pro Blog Package may be right up your alley!  A professional blog is any blog that is authored by someone who considers themselves a professional blogger and/or any blog that’s intent is to generate significant income in some capacity, either via self-promotion, sponsorship or advertising.  A professional blog generally showcases the blog as the primary focal point of the site.  Our Pro Blog Package includes all the goodies from the Personal Package, but also bundles in extra pages and features specific to those blogging for income or promotion.  We reserve the right to determine what constitutes a Pro Blog.

A small business website or “boutique website” as it’s sometimes referred, usually features five main areas: home, about, services, contact and press. The home page that highlights the small business’ purpose and provides navigation to other areas of the website.  We encourage most small businesses to include a blog with their website, so our package includes everything that the Pro Package has, along with a few additional pages that are most commonly requested by our small business clients.  A small business website may or may not include e-commerce. Our package does not, so if you’re interested in an online shop or e-commerce package, please indicate that in the Add-Ons section of the Request for Proposal.

So, you’re a DIY-type… we get it!

We have two ways to accomplish this:

1. Check out our femmeplates™, coming this Summer!
2. Choose our D.I.Y. Package for Wordpress only

The D.I.Y. Package price includes almost everything in the Personal Package, but your customized blog design is delivered as a Wordpress theme for easy self-install. Assuming your project requires no additional installation assistance or special features that would require us to install it for you, you would simply upload the theme we’d provide to the themes folder on your server, select it from the theme manager in the Wordpress dashboard and voila!  You’re Moxified!

If you wish to have us create a theme for another platform, such as Expression Engine, that would require a custom estimate.

No, indeed.  Please see “Will you build us a huge site for free?”

Nope. No, we sure won’t. That is, unless you are offering to pay all of our bills for a year. Then we might consider it. While we’d love to be able to offer free services, be it “just a quickie” or a full-blown site, we just can’t keep a roof over our heads doing so. If you are a current or prospective client, we are happy to answer any questions you may have. But, if you’re looking to see how much friendly assistance you can get for free, please keep on truckin’.

Whether you realize it or not, what you’re asking for is called “spec work” (short for ‘speculative’) and we don’t jive with that.  If you’re seeking an experienced designer with integrity, you shouldn’t jive with “spec” either.  We encourage you to read more about spec work and learn why it’s the design industry equivalent of flatulence at a dinner party.
