Frequently Asked Questions
How It Works
Basic web development can be completed within a 2-4 week timeframe. This assumes that all requirements are provided in a timely fashion. Design of your website is a collaborative process. While we are designing and building the website, we will need input from you. We will need to know your design preferences, your thoughts on content, and whether the site works the way that you want it to. If we are going to have your site working within this timeframe, we appreciate either your timely response to questions or creative license to complete the site as we see fit.
It's up to you. Some of our clients are fine with telelphone or Skype meetings. As a personal preference, we would like a face-to-face meeting, and because we like to get to know you and your business we are more than happy to come to your location. We will travel to your office within a 50 mile radius of Lincoln, Nebraska. Travel to meet with you beyond a 50 mile radius may be possible if the budget and project warrant it. However, if you would like to come to our office, please set up an appointment.
No problem! We can typically accomodate rush requests within reason. Contact us immediately so we can discuss your project and get it started!

Payment & Cost
Business owners on a budget typically want to know up front how much it's going to cost. One thing we would like you to know is that we never treat you differently if you have a tight budget or a very large budget. We treat every single customer the same regardless of their status or company.
We've done some competitor pricing research and found that our pricing is very competitive and in many cases almost 50% less than other agencies. We will work with you to meet your budget. We've worked with clients that have a tight budget to launch their startup ideas and clients that are ready to invest thousands into their website and SEO campaigns. The needs and requirements of your web design project will ultimately drive your quote.
One thing to consider is that your website will bring you new clients, which means sales of your product or service. For organizations or non-profits, this means reaching a larger audience. So investing in your website is one sure fire way to get a return on investment.
We accept checks, all major credit cards, Paypal and Cash. All checks should be made payable to: Gravitate Web Design.
50% of the website design and development fees are due before we can begin work on your project. Then, upon compleation of your project, the remaining balance will become due in full.
Great Question! Call us and we can talk about your options. We can setup a monthly payment plan, subject to approval. An electronic invoice is sent monthly and is due immediately. Failure to make your monthly payment can result in the temporary take down of your website until your account is brought current. In addition, ownership of the website remains with Gravitate Web Design until the website design and development fees are paid in full.
