This is possibly one the most common questions we get asked - and in all honesty the answer is...it depends...on a whole range of things. Naturally, we can provide you with a ballpark figure based on an initial high-level discussion, but for a definitive price to be given a full scoping exercise is required. The scoping exercise allows I-COM to understand what the website objectives are - technical, functional and commercial.

All this allows us then to draw up a project specification document that describes and defines all the project deliverables. Included within this document are the design requirments for the site, all site functionality, navigation and product/service categorisation, as well as details relating to the integration of the site into any internal IT systems i.e. stock control, financial, marketing database etc. Once this project specification document is finished and agreed, all project deliverables can then easily be identified and priced up. it is only at this point that we can provide you a definitive price for the finished project.

Here at I-COM we have experienced project managers that manage the whole website development process right from initial concept design, through to development, optimisation and finally go-live. We place great emphasis on client involvement throughout the process as this is essential in getting the work completed in a timely manner. We have a series of milestones set throughout the project - and many that involve client review and sign-off. In our experience, clients that actively get involved in the design, build and content population process, can expect to have their sites completed and live within a 3 month period.
