Prices
Most companies try to hide pricing information deep within their website, require you to request a quote or even call them before they'll tell you how much they charge. Well, our prices are something we're actually proud of, so we'll just come right out with it!
dBS's hourly rate is $50.00 for general website development and $85.00 for high level technical support.
Here's a great article discussing rates that has some valuable food for thought when looking for a website developer. A designer's rate doesn't always allow you to gauge the quality of work, integrity or customer service they'll provide.
Customer Service is our #1 priority. If your're not happy, we're not happy and will do whatever it takes to change that.
Here are some additional helpful concepts to keep in mind when deciding how you want your project to run:
- Build something quickly and to a high standard, but then it will not be as cheap.
- Build something quickly and cheaply, but it will not be as high quality.
- Build something with high quality and cheaply, but it will take a long time.
dBS is highly committed to growing its customer base. So we're working harder for less and doing everything possible to make our new customers, repeat customers. Our goal is to make sure every client feels they got more than they paid for.
