How Long Does a Website Take to Build?

Our websites are usually completed in a 3 week time period. It is important to us that we meet our deadlines. As we all know: Time is Money. We focus on providing quality and affordability in our website design. It is thus important that we keep the design time to a minimum. This has two benefits for you -

1. You get a top quality website at an affordable price and
2. This means you get your website in a defined period of time. No indefinitely long design process.

We use a variety of Content Management Platforms, depending on the clients needs. Most standard Small Business Websites do very well with Wordpress.

It is important that we ensure the best fit for each customer.

Why Don’t you use a proprietary CMS platform?

We have a different philosophy at Freeman Contingent – “Open Source is King”. We realise that there are many very powerful and expensive proprietary CMS platforms on the market. However, we know that they have many limitations. Here are a few reasons Open Source CMS platforms are the best on the market….

1. Free to Use and Develop – thus, we are not passing on huge costs to our customers
2. Constant Updates – With Open Source: updates and changes are happening at breakneck speeds because they have developers all over the world dedicated to continual advancements.
3. Huge Support: The largest forums on the internet are that of the open source community. They are FREE to use by anyone and are a vast resource to our customers.
4. Flexibility: These systems are designed to be flexible to change which means that, if you ever need to move to another system you don’t have to worry about your website content being hijacked by your web designers. This is because the software is designed for Universal Use by any person, developer, or designer. This gives you comfort to know that you are in full control of your Website.

If all the Online Website Software you use are Free, why don’t I do it myself?

Thanks to the new reality of Open Sources Software any one can create and develop software products of any kind – Including Websites. The only thing that separates web designers from everyone else is Knowledge and Experience. As many people have realised – after trying to create their own site – there’s “a lot more to it, then meets the eye”

Our job at Freeman Contingent is to take lower the learning curve. You hire us to get a professional website up and running. The architecture and design we create saves you time and money. Instead of learning how to build websites, you should be focusing on how to optimise your business.

To use a house building analogy: We build the House, So all you have to do is decorate it. And with our fully editable site, you don’t have to worry about making small changes – Just DIY it !

What is Link Love?

Link Love describes the small text links below certain images, forms, plugins, themes, or widgets. These are credits that we give to the original developers of software that we may be using on a website. Because we rely on the Open Source Community for ongoing development, this is our way of giving credit to their hard work. Can I remove it? Yes, however Link Love is usually the only form of payment that the developers of this software receive….so we would encourage everyone to show their appreciation and respect for all the hard working developers that make the Open Source Community a thriving success.

Do you always use Open Source Software Products?

The short answer is No. We use many different kinds of software packages that we believe will benefit the design process. But don’t worry the Proprietary software that we use does not effect the Editing Functionality of the website. It is only used to enhance the design process along with the look and feel.

It is important to note that many times we use Proprietary Software for our Online Stores & e-commerce website. This is simply because we have found that the Open Source e-commerce software has not reached the same level of user friendliness and development capabilities.

Thus, as you can see. We are about being flexible & cutting-edge. It is important that we are able to provide the best options for our clients. We are able to do this through constantly keeping on top of the latest the technological world has to offer.
