The client benefits from the combination of our expertise and the powerful features of our software

We provide more than just a website

ocProducts creates dynamic and interactive websites, delivering cutting-edge website solutions around the technology in our Open Source Content Management System (CMS), ocPortal.

How so?

Rather than building several 'pages' and calling it a website, we provide our clients with real tools they need to succeed in today's competitive online world. Our first-class websites include practical tools (like SEO) that make a website succeed in the 21st century.

Traditional web design companies have two ways of delivering powerful websites:

Code entire site from scratch (bad approach #1)
A very expensive option which is hard to maintain and upgrade down the road. Generally these have only basic functionality, and end up with hidden bugs.
Use a 3rd party CMS (bad approach #2)
Many CMSs need to be cobbled together via community addons which are unreliable and poorly implemented.

ocProducts is different

At ocProducts, we leverage the features we've developed for our own cutting-edge CMS to bring our clients a fantastic combination of powerful, mature features at a price-point our competitors just can't match.

How do we do it?

Take a look inside our website production process:

(click the diagram for a larger version)

The process begins with clients submitting their requirements. We work to agree on a development plan with a fixed-price quote, then submit diagrams and screen designs for approval.

After a client sign-off, our development begins. This phase includes regular progress updates plus thorough testing where we critically review our work against a wide range of quality and standards compliance criteria. Then we prepare a live demo for the client to evaluate.

Finally, we deploy the new website, and remain on-call for further support needs with our Experts by the Hour service.

What do we charge?

For all full-agency projects, we charge our standard hourly rates. Currently:

Designer £60 GBP per hour.
Developer £60 GBP per hour.
Project manager £60 GBP per hour.

Prices typically start from about £2,500 GBP for a custom designed website, with £10,000 GBP being a typical amount for a website with a lot of new database functionality.

You will receive a quote once we have identified your particular needs.

Payments are generally done in phases, but this is determined with the proposal.

What do our clients provide?

It is best if clients can provide detailed specifications to work with, because it reduces the risk of misunderstanding and things go much more quickly.

Examples:

Website objectives
Feature lists
Sketches of how screens should look
Descriptions of behaviour.

Sometimes our clients are too busy for this, or are not sure how to write a good brief/specification. In this situation we have a standard set of question we send out, and we will then work forward from there.

If new requirements come up after the initial sign-off, they may have to be incorporated at a later stage. Such revisions usually involve a change to the quote, as well.
