Web Design Services
We like to think of ourselves as a boutique design firm with a focus on new media, but this doesn't say much about what we do. Therefore, you will find in this section more detailed descriptions of our services, along with basic pricing information. You can use the navigation menu to select the area that interests you.
DA Designers uses a simple approach to what it does: Quality work at reasonable prices. As straightforward as that sounds, anyone who's been in the business a while can can say that it can be devilishly difficult to accomplish. However, we always manage to deliver while working in collaboration with our clients.
The web today is still in it's first few stages, and is in many ways similar to the radio or television in their early days. Many buyers don't fully understand the potential (and the limitations) of the internet, and most vendors are still delivering simple and, at times, naive work products that fail to appropriately utilize this new form of media.
How Important is Good Design?
A study denoting the importance of good design was conducted by Consumer Web Watch.
The study was based on a sample of more than 2,000 people who gave comments on the credibility of a group of 100 websites.
The leading factor cited by the sample group was "Design Look" (cited by 46.1% -- the largest percentage by a factor of almost 2!).

We can help you design and execute a professional, effective web presence. If you review our portfolio, you'll find that the partners in DA have built projects for some of the best known brands on the planet. We bring that same expertise to every project, be it a static micro-site for marketing, or a full-blown portal project.
We're not the cheapest vendor around (nor do we want to be!), but we're not the most expensive either. Frankly, we screen clients as much as they screen us. Don't take this as pretentious, it's just that we want clients who are willing to work with us on a professional basis, wishing for their money's worth. The web business today suffers from an over-abundance of amateurs who claim to build websites. They have brought price pressure upon vendors and lessened the expectations of customers.
As much as we (the vendors) would like a seller's market from the days of the DotCom boom, it's no longer a reality. However, consumers must understand that the current market backlash will not last, and that these low cost, low quality vendors will soon be weeded out. The market will eventually attain equilibrium, to that end, we seek professional clients, who want professional services at reasonable prices; nothing more, nothing less.
For our services, we charge hourly, at US$ 40 for programming and US$ 50 for design. We also offer project rates on clearly defined project briefs. Payment terms are flexible.
