pricing model and considerations
clear pricing practices
Accurately pricing design work can be difficult. In order for estimates to be accurate you need to be able to know how many hours it will take for each item, and in all honesty, unless past projects and time cards are being diligently reviewed and scrutinized many companies just go with the 'best guess' from he person that will perform the work.
We have a number of pricing models that we can use depending on your needs and project. All are designed to put a minimum amount of stress on the client/developer relationship and to ensure that time billed reflects hours worked. It is for this reason we prefer seo contracts that expire and have a sophisticated method for pricing PPC campaigns.
no sales tricks
As discussed elsewhere, we have no dedicated sales reps. We don't play games and believe that an open and straightforward dialog between prospective clients and Station Four results in successful projects and happy clients. If we don't think we can do a great job within your budget, we will tell you, even if that means losing business. Quality is our bottom line.
Following from these beliefs we don't engage in slashing inflated prices or hourly rates to give you a 'deal'. We don't play around with the numbers and we don't engage in contracts where we 'take a loss' to make up on later work because that means overcharging on that later work and goes against our ethics.
