Q. I know web templates are used a lot- can you custom build websites?
A. Yes its correct that the majority of websites these days are built using templates purchased generally from online marketplaces. While we also build sites in this manner, we differ from most of our competitors in that we can and do build websites from scratch, designing in photoshop, and hand coding everything.
In addition the Stempora organization, which we're a part of, runs its own template marketplace.
Q. I've spoken to numerous developers, and gotten radically different price quotes- why?
A. A confusing common problem for sure. At the top end of pricing are the large agencies and studios who use you to pay their overhead. At the bottom are inferior developers who are likely to issue somewhat desperate quotes, leading to shoddy products. We develop products as good as anyone, but have low overhead, so are our websites and other services are affordable, yet high quality.This is how we structured our agency from the beginning.
Q. Do you offer multiple variations to choose from of logos, web page designs etc?
A. We steer clients clear of picking from several average versions vs starting with the right one. Of course we offer re-concepting as needed. We shun mediocrity and have found this approach produces the best results consistently.
In very many cases we design a company logo before any other tasks are performed. Variations within a logo design scheme are normal. A business logo is always the key to the rest of the brand.
Q. I have plenty of service provider options, why select you folks?
A. The quality of what we've produced for others, is your best indicator of what you'll receive from us. There are many classes of quality available at a huge range of prices.Our Denver web design company has been involved in bids where one person or organization literally bid 10 times what another provider did. If you're receiving such a wide disparity of bids, your natural reaction is "what the"? We are what we make. Check our portfolio here: We understand how confusing the selection process of hiring a web designer can be and fully sympathize- the bottomline is do your research well and don't fall for the snake oil.
Overall, always, we strongly encourage anyone considering hiring a web designer, to take a good look at the designer's portfolio.
Q. What type of companies do you typically design websites for?
A. Big Orange Planet has developed websites and brands for oil companies, construction companies, doctors, dentists, engineering firms, lawyers, restaurants, architects, pharmaceutical companies, ecommerce stores, interior designers, software companies, non-profit organizations, schools, churches, and many more. We are flexible always to build anything needed, our only requirement is that whatever the task may be, it has to match our quality standards. A professional and appealing website presence is a must. Each project is of course unique- but what makes the difference is many years of experience. Our mission is, and has been for almost 20 years,to build the very best websites we are capable of, regardless of the type of website.
Q. How much is my website going to cost? Will you issue a fixed bid?
After an initial free consultation, we will provide a proposal and anticipated budget with no obligations. All projects are different by nature. We want you to be comfortable hiring us for your web build or graphic needs. We honor our bids always, regardless of any potential unforseen over-runs. Nobody likes a moving goal post.There is huge variance in cost of development within our industry.It tends to range from the ridiculous to the sublime. We are neither end of the spectrum, rather, exactly where we should be.
Once any website we build is fully paid for, ownership of the code and site is transferred to the buyer.
