Has your organization recently (or ever) gone through a website redesign project? If so, chances are it was a bit overwhelming and probably a bit frustrating, as well. At SpinWeb, we understand that building a new website for your organization can be a big, scary, mysterious project. This is why most organizations put it off for so long and sometimes take a long time to choose a firm and get it done.

However, at SpinWeb we have changed all that. We understand that the world of website technology and design can be mysterious and that many organizations feel that their expectations were not met during their last project. For this reason, we have developed a tool that we call the Website Blueprint.

In the past, website design and development firms would enter into the quoting process too early and would eagerly make up estimates based on best guesses. This would usually lead to projects going over budget and over time. This also meant that basically everyone involved was unhappy.

At SpinWeb, we make it much easier to try us out. Rather than commit to a big proposal for a big website all at once, we simply ask you to buy a Blueprint. This Blueprint contains site maps, wire frames, module specs, design guides, and work flow. In short, it is an entire website plan that maps out exactly how your website will function and how it will be structured. Once the Blueprint is finished, it also contains an exact figure for the investment of the website project. There are no hourly fees or vague estimates. We tell you exactly how much your new website will cost. If the budget needs to decrease, we will simply revise the Blueprint until we match your budget.

Once the Blueprint is complete, you own it and can decide what to do with it. The vast majority of the time, our clients will continue the process and give us the opportunity to create a new website. However, there is no obligation to continue with SpinWeb and any client who is not satisfied can take his or her Blueprint and continue the project somewhere else. With our Blueprint model, the client is always in control of costs and functionality and everything is transparent and predictable.

A Blueprint leads to more successful web projects because:

• It tells the design team exactly how to lay out the website
• It tells the development team exactly how the website should function
• It clearly spells out all the costs involved
• It puts the client in control of the project budget
• It helps everyone make good decisions early in the process
• It eliminates surprises

Our clients love this because they can "test drive" SpinWeb without a bigger commitment. Since a Blueprint is less than $1,000, it's a very low-risk way of trying us out while also getting a website plan mapped out at the same time.

We have found that the Blueprint process leads to predictable costs, on-time delivery, and clear expectations. This ensures that everyone is happy and that we are able to deliver websites that help our clients grow while staying within a budget that is comfortable for them.
