What impacts web design pricing most?

Web design cost is determined by the count of unique templates, CMS or ecommerce platform, accessibility requirements (like WCAG/ADA compliance), the scope of content migration, number of third-party integrations, and need for features such as marketing tools, eCommerce, or advanced search.

Is accessibility (WCAG/ADA/Section 508) included in the price?

Yes. DoodleWeb includes required accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA, Section 508) standards in every scoped project, providing full documentation and accessibility testing results at launch.

Can you help with content migration from a legacy CMS?

Yes, DoodleWeb handles the entire content migration process—including audits, mapping, automated scripting, redirects, and ensuring search equity—when moving your site from a legacy CMS to a new platform.

Are proposals fixed-price or hourly?

DoodleWeb prioritizes detailed, milestone-based fixed-fee proposals for project work after a scoping call. Hourly or monthly retainers may apply for rapid advisory or minor updates.

What ongoing costs should I plan for after launch?

Expect hosting charges ($30–$500/month, based on your selected platform), plus any optional monthly maintenance or support plans. DoodleWeb’s maintenance plans cover updates, security patches, and feature enhancements.

Is DoodleWeb locally based and trusted?

Yes. DoodleWeb LLC is based in downtown Seattle at Columbia Tower, accredited by the BBB, and features verified client reviews on Clutch and Sortlist.

Can you work with RFP or procurement processes?

Yes. DoodleWeb routinely participates in formal RFP and procurement cycles for Seattle-region government, educational, and nonprofit clients, supplying required cost breakdowns and compliance documentation.
