The price of setting up your website will vary depending on several factors, including project size and complexity. Another important contributing factor is your website’s type.

Below, we’ve provided basic estimates according to the type of website you have:

• Personal/Portfolio Websites: $1,500 – $3,000
• Small Business Websites: $2,500 – $10,000
• Corporate Websites: $20,000 – $35,000
• Ecommerce Websites: $5,000 – $40,000 

Depending on your specific needs, project size, and complexity, you might pay less, perhaps even more than these estimates. However, these prices are certainly not fixed and will still vary depending on some other factors. Other factors could include:

• Some specific design customizations
• Extra features like added functionalities and integrations
• The size of your business (Larger companies tend to have larger needs and would have more features)
• Depending on if you want extra website maintenance activities
• Database Integrations etc.
• Number of web pages
• Design style, etc.

Ultimately, the price of your website will depend on your unique wants and needs. Some projects might require extra modifications, while others might not.

Think of it this way… the cost of a website is like figuring out the cost of buying a home. It depends on your needs, desires, and budget. Also consider that if you are working with a company to put together a marketing plan for you, they may include web design services at a package rate.

The 7-Step StoryBrand, also called SB7 Framework, can be described as a storytelling formula that adopts key elements of a story plot in a business or brands’ marketing communications to its customers.

Several studies have proven that people pay more attention to businesses that communicate through stories than one that tells facts. For this reason, the SB7 framework outlines an approach that can help businesses/brands craft a compelling story for their customers. The result is a clear and powerful marketing message that resonates with your customers and compels them to take the desired action.

For further illustrations, the 7-step components of the framework have been outlined below;

1. A Character – This describes the clients/customers for your business.
2. A Problem – Describes the obstacle that your customers are facing for which they require a solution.
3. A Guide – The guide, in this case, is your business. Your business is positioned as a guide that can offer solutions to their problems/challenges.
4. A Plan  – A simple layout of your business’s action plan in solving their problem.
5. A Call to Action – A call-to-action must be present, and it must be straightforward and easy to recognize.
6. Avoid failure – A quick outline of what customers stand to lose if they don’t do business with you.
7. Ends in Success – Finally, a show of proof that your business is capable through testimonials, reviews, etc.

This framework taps into the psychology of consumer behavior and propels your customer to take action. We blend these elements and design your website in a way that tells your business story and clearly outlines your business value.

The word “need” here is subjective. While the SB7 Framework increases the chances of a website in being successful, it is most definitely not required.

Most websites you see on the world wide web do not use the SB7 Framework! If you build a site with this Framework, it definitely gives you an edge.

We build non-SB7 Framework websites for clients often as it doesn’t fit in everyone’s budget. The Framework is merely a recommendation.

Not sure which route you should take? No problem! We would be happy to discuss the options with you.
