Creating (or re-creating) your brand and communications is a big decision. It’s important that you feel comfortable with the process from start to finish. If you have questions that aren’t answered here or elsewhere on the site, don’t hesitate to contact us for a free, no-obligation consultation.
Whether working with individuals or groups, Blue Mouse Monkey aims to make each project a fun, collaborative process. We won’t overwhelm you with geek-speak or force your brand or website dreams into some pre-packaged set of arbitrary constraints. At all times we prioritize the connection between your mission and your audiences.
We guide you through strategy and planning, design iterations (logo, print, web, as needed), focus group, training in website maintenance, and preparing for the project launch. We make sure you’re informed and feel comfortable about each decision along the way, and if you have questions or concerns afterwards, we’re always here to help.
We at Blue Mouse Monkey aim to empower our clients to be independent of us. We set up each website with a CMS (Content Management System) that enables you to easily edit the content from anywhere with an Internet connection. We use only open-source content management systems such as WordPress, so you are not locked into a relationship with us or a proprietary system.
Absolutely. The individualized, in-depth and collaborative nature of our planning, branding, and design process enables a parallel process of self-discovery for many of our clients. They feel inspired to see their work in new ways, and they gain new clarity about their mission, goals, and brand. This consistently results in the growth or maturation of our clients’ businesses, projects and organizations. Whether your existing brand is robust or weak, we’ll turn it into something more than you imagine.
We offer big-agency quality at small-agency rates. We've even been told our hourly rate is lower than that at a local non-profit web design company! That said, please contact us to set up a no-obligation consultation to discuss your project, after which we can give you an estimate of the cost. We also welcome RFPs.
Yes, and we won’t impose a cookie-cutter approach during the process, either. The sustained involvement of individuals is the key to a vibrant social media presence. We’ll analyze your capacity for social media maintenance, and implement a strategy that matches that capacity.
Each Blue Mouse Monkey project is custom designed based on your needs, audiences, goals, and vision. Everything we do is unique and made from scratch.
We’ll make sure your website looks good in any contemporary browser whether viewed on a Mac or PC. We can also make a mobile version of your site.
Expect a 3 – 4 month turnaround for small to medium projects, and 6 – 9 months for larger or complex projects. The iterative nature of our custom design process requires time for us to develop ideas and solutions in collaboration with you. We don’t use templates and we don’t take short cuts. We’ll timetable the project precisely and work efficiently to ensure your site is launched when you expect it to be.
We do not offer programming services for website designs created by other providers.
