Why Choose Cape.Com Webdev?

Glossary Items:

It's more than just a web page, it's your business. Many times it's the first glimpse of your company. How you come across to your customers, provide the information they need, and offer the products and services they want makes all the difference. As it does to you. Running your business efficiently yet effectively, with purpose and integrity, you strive for success and manageable growth. Choosing Cape.Com's web development team as your partner in the online business arena may be the smartest business decision you'll ever make.

Experience Matters

Too often our clients come to us after the worst has happened. They hired their friend's college-age son to create their website. Trouble is, he knows nothing about your business, does not really care to know, but would love show you the "cool" things he can program. Back to college he goes and he's MIA. You are left with an unprofessional yet albeit extremely "cool" site, often unfinished, and usually very difficult to change. After a few months of trying to make contact, you finally decide to eat your money, swallow your pride, and contact the professionals.

Cape.Com has been developing websites for over 10 years, having designed and automated hundreds of sites across many industries. We are here to consult with you, to fully understand your business needs and goals, and to work with you to achieve them. We strive to help you save money, make money and free up your time. Our staff of 6 full-time designers and programmers offer a variety of viewpoints, and always cover for each other, never leaving you out in the cold. We keep your site fresh, using the best tools and technology available.

Price Matters

As with many professional services, there is a wide gammit on what is charged for website design and development. Be wary, however, if the price sounds too good to be true, it probably is and ends up coming with other "costs" -- like losing control over the design/function of the site, looking like a lot of other websites (the result of using off-the-shelf desktop publishing software), being unable to contact the developer, not owning the code to your site, waiting a long time for changes to be made, having a static (hard to change/expand) site. On the flip side, if the price seems too steep, most likely the site is being over-designed and over-programmed beyond what you really need.

Cape.Com rates are considered extremely fair. On average, we charge between $2,500 - $7,500 for creation of a typical for-profit website; a non-profit site usually ranges between $1,500 - $5,000. Of course, fees vary widely depending on customized functionality. Our customers are often pleasantly surprised with the amount of inherent value they receive with their new website, not to mention the personal support and access to our webdev staff. In addition, many websites pay for themselves within months, some just days -- whether the result of new sales or internal cost savings.

Technology Matters

Cape.Com has been an Open Source shop since our inception. Why does that matter? 80% of web servers around the world run Linux and Apache -- both Open Source web platforms. Meaning, your website and applications will easily comply and be more readily available than those restricted to particular software. On the other hand, well over 90% of viruses and worms that crop up each year are built to invade Microsoft products and tools. To date, open-source applications have avoided these virus woes.

Honesty Matters

Cape.Com works with integrity. We're not going to quote you one price, and then charge you something completely different. In the same vein, we're not going to promise we can make your site can do something, and tell you later that it cannot. We meet with you to openly discuss your project, offer suggestions and honestly set realistic expectations. We prefer to under promise and over deliver, a rare occurence in this increasingly over-promised, under-delivered world. Plus, we make sure that all time-lines, project specifications, and costs are fully understood before moving forward. Our customers speak for themselves -- Read our testimonials.

Convenience Matters

Cape.Com has the benefit of being the only full-service ISP on Cape Cod, offering website development, hosting, DSL and T1 high-speed access, email and voice plans all under one convenient roof -- unlike a one-person design shop. Save time and money by placing all your internet needs in one place, and receive top-notch services from a first-class company offering unparalelled expertise and local support.
