Feel like you’re just about ready to get started but still have a few questions you’ve been mulling over…well, here’s a great place to get started and get some answers. If you still don’t find what you’re looking for, drop us a line. We’re happy to help.
Ah, the first question every potential client wants answered, and we don’t blame you. It’s a dang good question too. If you find a developer that can give you can answer within a few minutes, end the conversation right there. Building and organizing a quote for website is complex.
Imagine walking into a realtor’s office looking for your perfect home, and immediately they tell you they have the right one for you before you even tell them what you want! Well a web developer that spits out a quote without understanding your needs is no better.
So if you’re serious about building a kick ass website that will withstand the test of time for several years, we’re happy to sit down and do a one-hour consultation to determine what you’re looking for and will get you a quote within 48-hours. Some of our clients prefer to build their websites out in phases, adding features and pages after the initial launch…and that’s ok too.
Plain and simple…because we love what we do, and, not to toot our own horns, but we have a long list of clients that think we’re the bees knees. At Rica, our philosophy is “work hard, play harder”. In return, we expect our clients to be on their A-game as well, getting us deliverables and feedback in a timely manner.
When we are on the clock, we’re working harder than a plow mule pulling family of 8. Off the clock, we’re living life to the fullest, whether it’s getting barreled in some Central American surf, diving shark-infested shipwrecks off the Carolina coast, or getting our Namaste on deep in the heart of the jungle. When we’re stoked about life in general, we believe it spills over into our work life. Plus, many of our best ideas manifest themselves in these moments of pure bliss. Our team may be scattered across the world, but together, we make a single, cohesive team that can accomplish great things. No matter which continent we’re on, you’ll find we’re pretty easy to get ahold of.
We get it. Cost is almost always a heavily weighted factor for many of our clients when making sound business decisions. But, as with many industries, there’s a right way to do something, and there’s a cheap way. Let’s say you’re building a new house and you hire a plumbing crew to lay your pipes. They better be using plumbers cement to hold the pipes together. Imagine if these plumbers used chewing gum and duct tape instead…well, often times, that’s what happens when you hire a budget web designer.
Furthermore, the cheaper your website, the less functional it is. It most likely won’t be responsive or mobile-friendly, search engine optimized or able to be customized. Many of Rica’s team members have over a decade of experience in web development, and we’ve seen it all. So even though it may seem like you’re saving money up front, chances are, you’ll be spending more money and time in the long run, not to mention all the headaches and nightmares you’ll be accumulating.
Of course it does! After all, we’re partnering with YOU, and ultimately you have the final say in the approval process. Depending on the level of involvement required to complete your website or marketing campaign, we’ll be providing you with guidance every step of the way so that you’re as hands-on or hands-off as you want to be during the creative process.
Ideally, we prefer our clients to provide and label all the images they prefer to use for their websites and online marketing campaigns, but that’s not to say we can’t work something out. If you want to enlist Rica in helping you find and choose the right photos, we have subscriptions to royalty free stock photos and are happy to do so.
You’ve been scratching your head trying to figure out which digital marketing channels and social media platforms are the best for your business. Or perhaps you’ve given it the old college try and you’re still not seeing the results you want. The landscape of digital marketing is always changing, so you may want to have Rica’s team help you plan and/or execute a strategy.
After our consultants get a feel for your needs and the parameters you’re operating in, we’ll come up with a customized initial approach and get to work. You’ll receive weekly and monthly reports to see which efforts are the most productive and continue to shape your campaigns as your needs and your customers’ behaviors change.
Of course! Check out our digital marketing services page to see the plethora of services we offer.
Our hats are off to those in the business of providing email hosting as it’s a very difficult, tedious service. Having constant, uninterrupted access to your email is something best left up to bigwig companies like Google and Microsoft. Though we do not offer email hosting services, we are happy to have on our team members assist you with setting up and maintaining your company’s emails from one of our preferred providers.
