Q: How do you get a great-looking website that doesn't cost an arm-and-a-leg, and take 3 months to build?
A: By having a very experienced designer who can work efficiently and focus on your site.
The funny thing about design is that it's somewhat subjective. That basically means what one person may think is beautiful, another person may find ugly. For instance, try agreeing on the definition of good design with your neighbor that just painted their home Smurf™ blue.
But thankfully you don't have to rely on your neighbor's opinion of good design. You can depend on our talented designers instead. Every professional on our design and development team has a proven history of creating great-looking, functional websites that will help (not hinder) the growth of your business.
We've created a system that allows our experienced, professional designers to focus on their work in a distraction-free environment. The Rocketship site development process allows them to focus on the most important aspect of their job: designing great websites.
Most people don’t appreciate this, but the traditional design and development process can be very labor intensive. It’s not uncommon for a designer to spend 40+ hours on a custom site. And if they have valuable industry experience they’re most likely charging $80 to $100 or more per hour. It adds up quickly!
The reason most custom websites take so long to develop is because there is not only a lot of strategy and planning happening before the creative work begins, but also a lot of back-and-forth dialogue throughout the duration of the project. This may be necessary for some companies who need lots of market positioning and strategic help, but it's something that most small businesses simply can't afford, justify, or even necessarily need to be successful.
So, retaining the services of high-end, extremely talented designers and developers to create a custom website and not break the bank, is a challenge with the traditional model of website development.
Our custom website development solutions utilize our proprietary streamlined process that keeps you involved all the way through, while ensuring things are moving along at a rapid pace. This eliminates unnecessary delays and maintains valuable momentum.
Here’s how it works:

Now you may notice that there’s no "SECTION 2.a: Jump through 15 hoops to get a contract signed while simultaneously requiring you to send a bunch of unnecessary files to the designer before we'll lift a finger.” or a "SECTION 4.b: Grapple with 50 decisions about website technology that have no meaning or relevance to your business even if they are important in some obscure way.” These types of non-critical details are intentionally left out so we can make the process easy, quick, and cost-effective.
Don't sacrifice great design just because you can't afford a traditional design firm. Get a Small Business Website by Rocketship: Great design at a great price.
