How We Handle Your Project

At Appian Digital, we create custom websites that meet the unique requirements of our customers. Therefore, when you select Appian to develop your company’s website, you are not selecting an off-the-shelf product with predetermined pricing. We carefully analyze your business needs; your target audience, your desired market position, your competitor’s position, and other factors that have a bearing on your website project. From that information, we provide an estimate of time required to develop your website.

Appian has seasoned veterans in the world of website and e-business application development, and we’re adept at estimating the time requirements of completing a project of any type or size. When we quote your project, you can be confident that we are going to come in on or under budget.

Once the project is underway, it is the job of our Project Manager to be sure that everyone stays on track and adheres to the scope of the project as it was quoted. Your Project Manager will keep you informed regularly as to the status of your project in terms of both timeline and budget.

Once our clients have worked with us long enough to fully understand our capabilities, their wish list starts to grow. It is very common for change orders to be created during the course of a project as our clients see things come together and new ideas for enhancements or additional capabilities arise. In these cases, we often quote these change orders on the fly and create addendums to the project scope. In some cases, we’ll recommend holding off on major changes and adding them to a “phase two” project plan in order to stay on course for meeting our original project delivery timeline.

What Are Average Project Costs?

Informational websites, often referred to as “static” or “brochure ware” websites usually start at $5,000. We often do smaller projects for clients that cost less, but these are generally not full websites.

Content-managed websites that give our clients varying degrees of control over their website content can start at $7,000 and grow depending on the degree of complexity.

E-Commerce websites, or websites with any type of advanced functionality start at $8,000 and grow depending on business requirements, level of complexity, advanced security measures, data redundancy, backup strategies, and other factors.
