CJP Studio Project Pricing

Because each project is different and has inherently different needs and goals, CJP Studio uses a project pricing structure.

This simply means that we will sit down with you to understand the goals you would like to achieve with your site and determine what it will take to achieve those goals in a timely manner. A cost estimate will be given for the project once the information for the site has been determined.

While this estimate can fluctuate, the normal time estimate for a 5-7 page XHTML/CSS driven site is about 35-40 hrs. This roughly equals out to be $2275-$2600 at our hourly rate of $65/hr.

In addition to the design and building of the site, the project rate includes interview time, design comps, SEO implementation, client proofs, online drafts, site setup and upload to your server, and search engine submission.

Why CJP Studio Uses CSS

CJP Studio uses CSS Stylesheets for every web site design which allows every site we build to be W3C standards compliant and easily maintained. This means that when your business grows, your site can easily grow with you and content changes as well as design changes are a snap.

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is the foundation for every design so you get an accessible site right from the start. CSS also brings standards and streamlined code to the ever-changing world of web browsers.

What is CSS?
CSS is a simple file which controls the visual appearance of a Web page without compromising its structure. By separating the HTML (Content) from the CSS (presentation) we can control the font size, font color, link color and any other presentational attributes on the web page. This will make the HTML code cleaner, faster, more search engine friendly, and more easily maintained.
What Are The Advantages of Using CSS?

The following are just a few of the many benefits of using CSS:

  • Separate Content from Presentation
  • Search Engine Friendly
  • Pages will load faster
  • Page file sizes will be smaller
  • Cleaner code
  • Accessibility
  • Save Time and Money
  • Maintains Design Flexibility
  • You can write separate CSS file for handheld devices which will be called up instead of the regular CSS file
  • You can create a printer friendly version by simply adding a few lines of code to the existing CSS file.

 

Search Engine Optimization

CJP Studio understands the importance of search engine rankings which is why Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is at the heart of every site we build. We evaluate every client's needs to understand exactly what they do and use appropriate methods to make sure they are listed as high as possible on the top search engines.

What is SEO?

Search Engine Optimization is the terminology used to define, or describe the action of gaining a better position within a search engine or internet directory system based upon a selected key word or a group of key words.

With well over 4 billion documents already on the internet, search engines can locate most of them and show you a link from within their systems.

SEO is the process of strategically creating and tagging relevant content within your web site so that search engines can read them easily. This includes the appropriate use of page titles, descriptions, keywords, heading tags and relevant content.

What Are the Advantages of Using SEO?

There are many advantages to using SEO strategies in your website, but the most important is so that you can be listed as high as possible within these search engine page listings.

Everyone wants a good website, but even the best website is no good if no one can find it online. Taking time to implement an appropriate SEO strategy in your website will definately pay for itself many times over in the end.
