This depends on factors like website size, complexity, and features. Gradient9 evaluates each website individually since each one is a custom project. Costs can range from simple sites with only a few pages that could be around $2000 to complex projects exceeding $10,000. From billboard sites, to intricate custom ecommerce stores, Gradient9 can build what you need and you can feel confident that we will provide a fair price for your project.

Not necessarily. Gradient9 builds in WordPress which allows building and updating websites without coding knowledge. WordPress’s intuitive interface with a drag-and-drop editor lets you build and update your website without touching code, perfect for beginners and visual learners. We also provide individualized training upon completion of the project so you have the confidence to make updates to your site when needed.

Yes, websites need hosting on servers to be accessible online. Gradient9 uses Kinsta for website hosting, for many reasons. Kinsta is powered by the Google Cloud Platform (GCP), which is known for its speed and reliability. They take security very seriously and offer a number of features to protect your website, such as automatic backups, malware scanning, and a web application firewall. Kinsta specializes in hosting WordPress websites, which means that they are able to provide a number of features and optimizations that are specific to WordPress. This can make a big difference in the performance and security of your website. While there may be cheaper options for hosting, we feel that this is the greatest value given all the important features Kinsta has to offer.

Most projects take just 8-12 weeks, but it depends on complexity. Here’s the journey:

  1. Sitemap: We map your content, deciding what goes where.
  2. Wireframes: Think blueprints! We sketch the layout for optimal flow.
  3. Design: We bring your vision to life with branding, colors, and layout.
  4. Build: Brick by virtual brick, we assemble your website.
  5. Review: Fine-tune every detail before launch.
  6. Optimize & Launch: We polish SEO, responsiveness, and performance for a smooth debut.

Pro tip: Get your content organized (text, photos, etc.) for a speedier build!

More than half of all web traffic now comes from mobile devices, so it’s important to make sure your website is responsive and looks good on all screen sizes. Here are some things to remember:

Use large, readable fonts, Simplify your navigation, Keep buttons big and tappable, Optimize images: Large images can cripple mobile loading times. Structure your content with the most important information at the top and condense secondary elements for mobile viewing. Create a responsive design that automatically adjusts your website’s layout to fit any device.
