Here are some of the frequently asked questions we get about our social networking web design and marketing services.
What type of social networks does DreamCo Design develop?
We can make practically anything you want. Our team offers custom solutions. When it comes to site design and development, the possibilities are limitless. Social networking websites are about as involved as it gets and we are certainly capable of doing whatever we need to. It could be something as simple as a forum (which is technically a social network) or it could be as robust a solution as a website that operates a lot like facebook.com.
How much does it cost to develop a social networking website?
Pricing varies on a case to case basis. The larger and more involved the website is, the more expensive the investment typically is. Social networks are pretty involved projects. Typically they run from $10,000 to $100,000 however there are a huge amount of things taken into consideration which will ultimately determine the cost. Long story short, we can certainly work with you on putting together a quote if you are serious about building a new social network.
How long does it take to build a social networking website?
Like price, it can vary. Most social networking websites take months to develop. It may take 4-6 months, or more, depending on how involved the project is. A great deal goes into brainstorming, website logistics, mockups, design, development, beta-testing, revisions, and so on. It is a team effort but even with multiple people working on the site it will take time as is the case with all good things. Simple solutions with lesser features or networking sites like forums are obviously going to take a lot less time.
How does the process work?
It starts by you calling or emailing us. One of our consultants will work with you to discuss your idea. We will then cover with you your likes, dislikes, website requirements, functionality goals, and the purpose of the website. Once the idea is down pat we will put together a proposal that will outline everything. For a social network it is common for a proposal to end up being between 50 and 120 or so pages. The proposal will outline all of the pages, functionality, and design notes for the website. It makes what you are getting very clear. Upon signing off on it we will then go through a content phase with you so that we can obtain and text or pictures which need to go on the site as well as other things like domain details or any branding you may already have. Once we have it we then design and develop the entire website. Upon completing it we spend a while with testing the site. We often include you in the beta process for a larger project like this. Once the site has been tested we then demo the site with you so you know how to manage and administrate the site. Once the demo is done we tackle any minor revisions you may have, optimize the site, then launch it live. From that point forward we continue to work with you on the marketing and hosting side of things.
