Status changed: Draft to Pending.
Based on the provided RFP: We would build you a custom, to your brand and needs, website that can easily have features added to it in the future (like a translation selector). The system would be built with the CMS, or content management system, WordPress. A CMS is a User-friendly back end for editing the site and managing content. The site framework will be set up and a variety of page structures will be created to fulfill the need for future and existing pages.
The website would include the following:
- Homepage,
- About Us,
- Our Board,
- Become a Volunteer,
- Our Partners,
- FAQ’s,
- Testimonials,
- Our Programs,
- What’s New (Blog)
- News,
- Videos,
- Events
- Newsletter
- Registration,
- Donation,
- Happe Online Store,
- Product page,
- Shopping cart page,
- Account system for customer checkout,
- Contact Us.
If there is a page that we didn’t list here or functionality that you would like to add, please let us know.
Base website system
We will begin with the layout and design of the Home Page. Once the homepage has been approved, we will present the interior pages the same way. These layouts will be presented as static images from Photoshop for approval. Only once they have been approved will we begin programming the site. The website will be developed to be responsive to smaller screens, tablets, and smartphones (mobile-friendly). It will also be programmed in an SEO-friendly manner – ensuring the best practices for good Google search results.
We also install Google Analytics and Google Webmaster tools onto the website. Google Analytics and Google Webmaster tools will give you the ability to track a ton of different aspects of your website’s traffic and metrics including things like where a user came from, how many visitors are going to what areas, and more. They are both very powerful tools that give you more than enough information to see how your website is doing and where to go with your future online marketing.
We will make sure that the transition from the old site to the new site is done properly to ensure you don’t lose any current SEO. It’s vital that when a transition like this takes place, it is done following Google guidelines and making sure to notify all of the big search engines of the changes both through their systems as well as in proper redirects in the code. This is something we automatically do through the transition and is included in the price below.
Store / eCommerce
The website will have a store where both physical and digital products can be listed and sold. Each product will have its own product page and the ability to add variations to these products.
The shopping cart itself offers a multitude of things:
- A Payment gateway that automatically accepts payments from PayPal Standard Gateway – Accept credit cards and PayPal payments, Square, Authorize.net, PayPal, eWay, SagePay, Braintree, PayLeap, and more. The system also offers BACS, Cheque, and Cash on Delivery – Simple offline gateways. Some of these gateways may require the purchasing of a 3rd party plugin at an additional cost. The installation of the 1 processing plugin would be included in this price. We do not provide credit card processing services.
- A wide variety of shipping options from all major shipping providers including USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL. Specific shipping services may require an additional plugin to integrate into its system, price TBD based on a carrier.
- The shopping cart system has an extensive coupon system to provide your customers with deals in discounts for marketing purposes,
- CSV downloader and uploader
- User/Account system for customers to track their past orders and reorder past products
- A user-friendly order, product, and stock tracking and management system.
This shopping cart includes the uploading of 10 products by our team. Additional products can be added by our team at the additional cost to be quoted separately. You’ll be able to add more products yourself to the site once the website has been completed.
Events Manager
We will be adding a simple and easy-to-use event management system that will work in conjunction with the above shopping cart system. The system will allow you to manage Events, Conferences, and Sell Tickets right in the same processing and account system.
The events manager includes the following:
- Calendar System: a user-friendly system for both your team and your clients can search and find events,
- Ticketing system for events: Let’s you easily sell tickets for an event, send emails or receive notifications for all attendees and track them, view all attendees easily, and manage them. Clients can also view their events and past events,
- Invoice system: Easily print or download event-related invoices,
- Zoom Integration: You can easily integrate your Zoom account into the event to easily create digital events,
- Recurring Events: Easily set up recurring events.
ADA Compliance
The website would be built ADA-compliant as well as include additional accessibility features that will increase the accessibility of your site for people with Epilepsy, Visual Impaired, Cognitive Disability, ADHC, and also partially or completely blind. (You can see a sample of this on our website at www.CimettaDesign.com on the bottom left.) ADA Compliance, Web Services and Accessibility Plug-In, $350
The design and development of this website platform would normally be a one-time charge of $5,200 but are willing to donate $500 of the estimate, making the final price of the estimate $4,700.
This estimate is to be paid in thirds; 1/3 deposit, 1/3 upon your approval of the design of the site, and 1/3 upon delivery.
This above price does not include hosting but we would also be willing to donate free hosting for a year and include an SSL Certificate. Hosting is normally $25/m plus $199.99 a year for a managed SSL certificate. Just under a combined $1000 in value.
The system does not include an SSL Certificate. An SSL Certificate, a security requirement in order to accept credit cards on your website, would need to be purchased through your host. We do offer SSLs and website hosting to our clients, as outlined below.
This price does not include hosting or maintenance. Both are outlined below.
The turnaround time for a project of this nature is 4 to 5 weeks typically, with Edited Final Copy-text and quick approvals from you, the Client.
