Say Hello To Your Launchpad
Everybody deserves a great website. You know this, and that's why you're looking for a really solid online presence. Trouble is, you don't want to spend a fortune. Cheap website "deals" are everywhere, but it's hard to find a really great value for your money. You're not asking for all those swiss-army knife features. You just want a website that makes you look good; one that brings in business, or spreads your message. (Or maybe both.) Ideally, you want to start from a solid base, and add features over time as you need them.
That's why we created Launchpad. It's the perfect starting point for just about all of our clients. A website package that takes great care of the important aspects, while giving you plenty of room to grow in the future. It's literally your online launch pad. Are you ready for liftoff?
What's In The Box?
Launchpad provides all of the essential components of a great website. Every single Launchpad begins with the following standard features:
- A Gorgeous Design
- Customized to match your existing logo and marketing materials.
- Rocket Fuel
- Your very own content management system (CMS). Update and modify your website without paying a web developer by the hour.
- 5 Rocket Pages
- You can think of these as regular web pages, but they are completely controlled by your CMS. You can update them any time you want.
- 2 Modules
- These are powerful add-ons, that extend way beyond the functionality of a traditional web page.
- 2 Gadgets
- These are small, bonus features that give your website extra flavour.
- Completion In As Little As Two Weeks
- If you would rather take longer, that's no problem at all, but at full speed we can finish your website pretty darn quickly.
- Web Hosting
- The gasoline (or bio-diesel, if you prefer) that makes everything run properly!
- Domain Name
- A .com domain name of your choice.
How Does It Work?
Every Launchpad is built following the same five phases: Consultation, Design, Construction, Beta Testing and Closing.
In the Consultation phase, we discuss your project in detail. We ask you a whole bunch of questions, to develop a thorough understanding of what your Launchpad needs to do. We work together to design the overall structure for your website. You get to choose the Modules and Gadgets that make it exceptional. When everybody is ready to go, you provide the first of two payments, and the detailed work begins.
During the Design phase, we draw up a sample version of your website. You get to review the sample drawings, and recommend alterations. We revise until you believe it looks perfect. Most websites only require one hour of revisions, so the first hour of revisions to your Launchpad is on the house. Really extensive revisions (requiring more than one hour) are billed at an hourly rate.
When you approve of your Launchpad's design, we move into the Construction phase. This is the part where the rubber meets the road; we turn the initial design into a functioning website. The finished site is hosted in a private staging area, where you can see it, test it, and try it out.
After we have built your website, we move into the Beta Testing phase. During this phase, we work together to test the site, and make sure it surpasses your expectations.
When testing is finished, and you are ready to launch, we enter the Closing phase. This is the time where you provide the final payment installment, and we reveal your website for the world to see. Congratulations! That was easy.

Is Launchpad Right For Me?
Probably. Here's how to know for sure:
Have you ever paid for a website before? If not, then you'll probably find the available options, vendors and technologies to be quite confusing. Thankfully, Launchpad is a zero-confusion product. Everything is included, and you have only one point of contact to deal with. If you're looking for a painless first experience, then Launchpad is a good fit.
Wanting to keep costs low? Launchpad is a great way to get the important details right, without breaking the bank. Start with what is essential, and we can always add extra modules later.
Just trying not to get robbed? We understand; we've seen it before. With so many different choices, it's can be hard to make a decision. That's why we believe in free consultations. We want you to get to know us. Come in, sit down, relax. Would you like a cup of tea? We plan your project together, and you don't commit any money until you are ready to build your Launchpad.
Looking to make a good investment? We don't call it a Launchpad for nothing. This is a great starting point, and from here, you can go anywhere. Add more Modules, add extra Gadgets, or be content with your website, and enjoy it for many years to come.
Let's Talk Dollars
Q: How much does it cost? A Launchpad with all of the standard features costs only $999, plus a 5% tip for the government. As with all websites, you'll need a little bit of web hosting to make everything run smoothly, which we provide for a paltry $20 per month. That's it!
Q: Any room for negotiation? Actually, yes. If you decide to pre-pay your web hosting fee annually, you can save 10% on the total cost of hosting. That's $24, or about enough money for a celebration dinner with a friend after your new website launches.
And if that's not enough, we offer a very generous referral program to absolutely everybody who helps us spread the Launchpad message. Down with bad websites! If you refer absolutely anybody to us, and they purchase a Launchpad of their very own, we will write you a cheque for $100. In our experience, by digging into your social network you're likely to find at least 2 friends who have been waiting for a product like Launchpad. Refer two friends, and you turn a $999 website into an $799 steal. Now that's just plain smart.
Q: I'm ready for liftoff! How can I get started? Easy. Give us a shout. We'll walk you through the process.
