Budget.

Please identify the amount you would be willing to spend on your site.This could be annually or total.  We often break down projects into phases.  This helps us design to fit within your budget and still accomplish your goals.  If you don’t really know what your budget might be, even rough numbers help with a target.  We can always revisit preliminary estimates and explore different options.  We just don’t want to design something that might be twice what you wanted to invest in the project.
