Custom Development FAQs
GBDA does things holistically. We aim understand the website's place in the entire ecosystem and solve problems by addressing root causes and fundamental needs. A lot of development agencies will use "band-aid" approaches (plugins, plugins, plugins) and deliver what is the quickest, easiest solution for themselves. The problem is that it will ultimately create a delicate house of cards that can collapse at any moment.
Our solutions are forward-looking while also considering usability issues, business admin needs, scalability, and stakeholder success metrics.
As the name implies, a custom development project is very...customized, therefore so is the price. Every site is different (to put it lightly) and every business need is completely unique. That being said, projects can vastly vary in scope and may involve a complex system of interconnected moving pieces, which can't possibly be determined without a thorough discovery process.
Our guarantee is absolute transparency every step of the way so that you completely understand why and how we do what we are doing. We let you in on the process and often it is shocking at how complex things can get once you open up the hood!
We offer a number of different ways to work together and our contract would also be completely tailored to your needs and timeline. We can do retainer basis (recommended) or project basis, without ever locking you into a long-term contract.
We also offer white labeling work in partnership with other agencies if they need to outsource their development needs.
Absolutely! If you have an internal UX design team, we can simply execute from designs handed over to us. We have also collaborated with clients' internal development teams to create a seamless workflow within the same projects.
That is one of the questions we aim to address during the discovery phase. Once we understand the current site infrastructure and align with the stakeholders on what changes need to be made, we can make a recommendation based on all of these factors. We may determine that starting over may not be necessary and that you would benefit from our Website UX Services, where we make incremental changes to your site based on research and testing.
Sometimes, however, it is ideal for the long-term to start over with a fresh infrastructure, new content management system, and "clean" code. If that is indeed the case, we wouldn't suggest it just because...We would formalize a plan and illustrate the reasoning to all executives and stakeholders, because it may be a large undertaking that needs to be justified.
Time to Lay a Strong Foundation.
Do your website a favor and build in a way that lasts.
