Simplistic price lists are a bad idea

Every small business owner has different needs and expectations when it comes to their WebSite.  To develop a WebSite that meets those specific needs and expectations requires understanding.  Which is why, if you have been shopping around, you will rarely find a seemingly straightforward price list for the cost of a WebSite.  When it comes to bundled packages at set prices, such as a 5 page WebSite for a fixed amount, Abacus believes that it is better to understand the client's needs and expectations before quoting prices.

Sure there are situations where a quick and simplistic quote is possible, but the only way to do this is to make many assumptions that you may not be prepared to make or even understand.  Abacus knows from experience that providing a simplistic price list is very problematic.  There are simply too many factors that need to be considered to accurately gauge the resources needed.

Abacus is in the opinion of getting to know its potential clients before giving a quote.  For a price quote to be accurate, as we said many factors need to be weighed along with mutual understanding between you and Abacus.  This is why Abacus primarily does business with client's which are local to the Northern Nevada area.  We value familiarity with our clients, and to do this requires face to face meetings.  Most Web companies don't take the time to thoroughly understand your business.  I am sure we can agree that with more understanding, that Abacus will develop a better WebSite for you.

Tinkering with the idea of using the Web in your marketing endeavors?  Abacus is here to help.  Yes, a little effort is needed to determine the real costs involved, but this effort will make for a lucrative business relationship.
