Web Design & Development Proposal

Prepared by jason gevargizian for

Brennan Schartz

Problem

Brennan Schartz, a campaign strategy consultant based in Overland Park, is seeking to grow his agency by establishing a compelling online presence with a brand-new website. The site must debut the agency’s new identity and brand. It should highlight their campaign expertise and achievements while underscoring their dedication to enacting meaningful change. The website needs to be a comprehensive hub for their clients, answering any questions, establishing agency credibility, streamlining communication, and effectively guiding them through their lead funnel. Additionally, the website must allow Brennan’s agency to tap into new online lead sources, allowing him to accelerate his business.

Solution

Code Cobalt proposes a website expertly crafted for a campaign strategy firm, featuring a clean, modern design and user-friendly interface. Tailored to Brennan’s agency’s aesthetic and requirements, this website will include features that match the standards of industry leaders’ websites, such as Precision Strategies, GMMB, and The Strategy Group. The site will be easy to manage post-launch, thanks to our use of the WordPress platform. We will integrate Brennan’s new agency branding—logos, slogans, typeface, and more—to form a cohesive agency identity. Our on-page SEO services—including load speed optimization, metadata structuring, keyword analysis, mobile responsiveness, and content refinements via Yoast SEO—will position the agency to start acquiring new business from organic searches. To bolster the site’s performance and shield it from potential online threats, we’ll incorporate and fine-tune essential optimization and security plugins while also adhering to security best practices for all custom elements. Finally, we will provide comprehensive support for the initial period post-launch, with options for subsequent training or premium sustained support.

Schedule and Project Flow

Design Consultation

Our process starts by collecting completed design and content questionnaires from you. We’ll analyze the data and conduct additional research, including conversations with you or your team, industry-related research, and competitor analysis. This step helps us gain a deep understanding of your unique business needs and develop a customized solution that meets your goals.

Homepage Prototype

We’ll start the prototyping phase by analyzing the data and creating a homepage prototype, which is the most important page on any website. We’ll establish design elements such as colors, fonts, and image choices that will be used on other pages throughout the website. We believe in a collaborative design process and provide unlimited revisions to the homepage design. Once you approve the homepage concept, we’ll design all the other pages that make up the website.

Inner Page Prototypes

After the homepage design is approved, we’ll move on to designing all the additional inner page layouts that will make up your website. We’ll design them together to ensure greater efficiency and submit multiple pages for your review at the same time. Like the homepage, unlimited revisions to the inner page designs are included in this proposal. Once you approve the internal page layouts, we’ll proceed to the coding phase.

Implementation

After you approve all page designs, we’ll code them into front-end languages such as HTML and integrate them with the WordPress CMS. You’ll be able to review the progress on our development server. At this stage, we’ll add interactive elements like animations, hover effects, and transitions, and make the website fully responsive and mobile-optimized. We’ll also add functionality like website logins, e-commerce cart and checkout, contact forms, and more.

Optimization and Testing

After initial development is complete, we’ll further optimize and test our work to ensure it’s error-free and provides an optimal user experience. We’ll use industry-standard testing software to maximize performance. At this stage, you’ll be able to review the completed work and provide any last-minute changes that are necessary before launch.

Launch

Once everything has been fully approved, we’ll launch the website on your hosting account. If you don’t have one, we’ll provide instructions on how to set it up. We will perform a final round of tests to ensure the website functions on your server as well as it did on ours, and then the website will go live!

Ongoing Support

We provide free support for the first 30 days after launch that goes beyond basic bug fixes and warranty. Our support package includes adding new content, modifying existing website features, and fixing bugs related to the agreed-upon functionality. We’re committed to ensuring that your website runs smoothly, even after it’s been launched. After 30 days, we offer paid support packages and training for you and your team.

Pricing and Payment Terms

We offer a total project quote of $3150, covering up to seven unique page designs. Any additional page will be priced at $200. The cost will be divided into three milestones with no upfront deposit required.

Milestone 1

30% is due after completion and your approval of the home page design concept.

Milestone 2

35% is due after completion and your approval of all unique inner page designs

Milestone 3

35% is due after completion, review, and final approval of the coded website prior to launch.

Working with Jason and his team on my real estate website was a pleasure. They crafted a modern, user-friendly design based on our discussions and fully integrated my website with two MLS, FollowUpBoss CRM, Google ads, Facebook ads, and more. The final result is clean, polished, and stands out among my competitors. I highly recommend Jason and his team for their development services, and I look forward to working with him again on future projects.

Taylor | Moreno KC

I’m very happy with the website that Code Cobalt made for our cleaning business! They were professional and easy to work with, and the site looks amazing. Since the launch, I’ve noticed an increase in online traffic and new potential hires. I would definitely recommend Code Cobalt to anyone looking for a great web design team.

Nicholas | Ace Janitorial, Inc.

Working with Jason was great. He completed the job scope and then some. His communication skills and grasp of Rails made the entire process seamless. Looking forward to working with him again.
