How I work?

To achieve the best results, it is important to have a well-defined business vision for your business. Here you can see the potential stages of our work together and what you can expect throughout the process. But it's important to know that not every step is necessary in every case.

Consultancy

There are two types of consultancy which of course overlap to some extent. The first is when you already have a website and want it to be thoroughly reviewed, evaluated, and aligned with your business objectives. As a result, we would identify what could be improved (or left as it is) on your site. This is called an audit.

The other type is when you don't have a website yet but want one. In this case, we will focus on your business, target audience, and goals. This will be the basis for the next steps. How do you prepare for such a meeting?
Consider the following.

Exactly what you want to sell and to whom.
Do you have one or more products? What are they?
Do you provide services?
What sets you apart from your competitors?
Who are your competitors?
Who is your ideal customer?

Design

The design phase defines the website's overall functionality, look, and feel.

Ebben a fázisban megtervezzük, hogy mit hol fogunk kommunikálni az oldaladon belül (ezt információtervezésnek vagy information architecture-nek hívják), illetve, hogy a felhasználók milyen úton (ezt bejárási útnak hívják) fognak eljutni a konverzióig (ami az adott oldal fő célja üzleti szempontból pl. levélküldés vagy vasárlás).

At this stage, you will receive a wireframe, and visual design (how your site will look) of your site. Of course, we will go through this, and make changes according to your needs and other considerations, such as accessibility.

Development

This is the stage where the website is created. In this phase, you will first receive a prototype (almost fully functional version) that you can try out in a browser and which will be thoroughly tested by both of us. If you're happy with it, we'll finalise the site and publish it at a pace that suits you - so you can start using it.

This is usually the most time-consuming of the 4 phases as there are many technical details involved, such as creating mobile versions.

Maintenance

Most websites require ongoing monitoring and maintenance. There are several reasons for this. On the one hand, the CMS (Content Management System, e.g. WordPress) and other building blocks of the site evolve and are updated regularly, and it is very important to manage this process professionally in a secure environment. On the other hand, in most cases, such sites can also be exposed to security risks that need to be monitored and managed.

A comprehensive maintenance service also includes availability, troubleshooting, and technical support. These together can ensure a steady safe, and stable operation.

A single outage on an unmaintained website can be hugely damaging, as it can take days to fix an unknown error.

questions

Do you have any projects that you don't do?

Yes. If you want a website for yesterday or "just because it's nice to have", or you're looking for a template site, I'm probably not your guy.
There are also certain industries that I don't do projects for on principle, these are
- Meat industry
- Highly polluting activities e.g. oil industry
- Highly health damaging activities e.g. tobacco
- Companies in the beauty industry that use animal testing
- Adult industry
- Basically any company with a proven record of unethical practices

Are your services available individually?

Yes, of course. On the how I work page you can find out what I do and how I do it exactly. These services are available individually. As for which ones you need depends largely on your and your project's needs.

How much will my project cost?

To price your project accurately, I need to have a clear understanding of the work involved. After discussing your project, I'd be more than happy to write a quote for you.

What are my payment options?

We are different and so are our business opportunities. You can choose between a lump sum or a service-based project proposal. In the first case, you can expect a higher up-front investment and optional running costs. In the second case, there will be a continuous and predictable monthly fee on a pay-as-you-use basis*.

*Good to know: In the case of a service-based contract we always discuss your business concept, objectives, and opportunities before signing the contract. In this case, there is only a 20% advance but the contract term is longer.

What does service-based pricing include?

Your monthly fee will include the following if you choose to use your website as a service
- Use of your website
- Operation of your website according to your needs
- Hosting
- Business email

What about images, text and other content on the website?

I will create the basic objects, buttons (etc.) needed for the web design but you will need to provide the graphics (e.g. mock-ups), images, and written content for the website. If you need a graphic designer or copywriter, I can recommend a professional I have worked with successfully for years.

Who would you recommend as a graphic designer?

I highly recommend Eszter Galiczawhom I have worked with successfully for years.

How should I prepare for my first consultation?

The first consultation will focus on your business, target audience, and objectives. Before our discussion, please consider the following.
Exactly what you want to sell and to whom.
Do you have one or more products? What are they? Do you provide services?
If it's the latter, what exactly are they and where do you provide them?
What sets you apart from your competitors?
Who are your competitors?
Who is your ideal customer?

What else do I need to start my project?

To get started with your project, you will need the following.
- Developed business vision and goals
- The content of your website (images, videos, text, etc.) - if you need help, I can recommend a professional I have worked with successfully for years.
- A domain - if you need help, I'll be happy to help you choose and reserve it.
- If you want a webshop, you need a card acceptance gateway (e.g. Barion, Stripe, etc.) registration, and an online biller (Számlázz.hu or Billing).
