The simple answer: it's a completely moving target. Every project is different.
Most businesses have problems, goals, ideas or challenges that are specific to their business, and thus require the creation of a unique and customized solution.
There are some things that we've done a million times and are pretty standardized, that we can put a price tag on. For the most part, though, we need to really get a feel for what you're looking for before we can quote anything.
Design, development, systems consulting, ideas, solutions...it all takes time and costs money.
Though we can and do work on projects big and small, with budgets to match, if you're bargain-shopping for the kinds of solutions we offer, we're probably not your guys.

SEO – Search Engine Optimization After your web site launches, Crucial Networking, LLC will submit each page of the web site to Google, Yahoo and Bing. During the first three months after launch, Crucial Networking, LLC will check Google to see that the web site has been effectively indexed. It's important to note, however, that SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is an attention-based practice, and the rankings your web site achieves depend largely on the attention they're given. It's not enough to just submit your web site to search engines, and then never address SEO again. In order to get the most longlasting benefit for your business out of your web site, the results need to be measured and improved upon on a constant basis. Crucial Networking, LLC also offers a quarterly SEM(Search Engine Marketing) package, in which we work with you to analyze your business in-depth, develop & implement a plan to achieve the rankings you desire for the terms identified, and continuously monitor the results.
