Though not technically a web design-related question we are probably asked this the most. mSeven's original name was TCS Media, which stood for 'Triangle Circle Square', emphasizing the focus on simplicity in design. In 2000 it was decided that the name of the company would be changed to something a bit less acronym-y. Off the top of his head the company founder, Scott, put together the first letter and last number of his old AOL e-mail address, 'm' and '7', and decided to use that as the name, at least temporarily. It stuck and that's what we've been using ever since.

This would have to be the second most fielded question we get. A clever response to this is often summed up in the question "well, how much does a house cost?". The truth is that web site costs vary on a huge scale depending on what you want. The best way to find out the cost is to contact us and tell us what you are looking for so that we can draw up an estimate for you.

Properly built custom web sites that will represent your organization in the best light possible as well as increase your visibility and profits take at least a few dozen hours to create. This means that nobody should expect anything of quality for only a few hundred dollars.

We will usually not be the least expensive option. We do however price our packages very competitively and provide guaranteed work and unsurpassed service and quality to all of our clients.

A web site does nobody any good unless people know about it, and you can only get so far just through face-to-face promotion or traditional advertising methods. There are two main methods to get your site to the top of search engine lists: organic search engine optimization (SEO) and paid search advertising (such as Google Adwords). We can assist with you with both methods to have the highest probability of success in getting your site to the top of the search results page.

Keep in mind though that we cannot guarantee any particular results and that any firm that does guarantee that you will be 'number one in Google!' is lying. How high you are able to progress depends on a whole slew of factors, with some being beyond control (age of the site, competition density, search algorithm changes, etc.).

The best plan of action is to have mSeven review your site to see how beneficial a SEO overhaul could be. Many of our client's receive a 30-40% jump in traffic within a month or two or project completion, so it's definitely worth looking into.

We offer the option to install CMS (content-management system) software with every web site package. This will allow you to update your site from any internet-connected computer using only the internet browser. CMS is a cost-effective option for any site that requires constant additions and modifications. The additional cost is determined by how much control you would like to have over the site as well as the size and complexity of site integration.

mSeven offers an unsurpassed combination of quality, skill, competitive pricing, and communication. Take a look at our portfolio. If you like what you see please contact us for further information, we would love to add your site to our roster.

Projects generally range in time from six to eight weeks, but this depends wholly on the complexity of the site as well as the amount of client input needed. We are available to do rush projects for an additional fee.

Upon contract signing we usually require a deposit of 50% of the total estimate to be paid up front as a retainer fee with the other 50% due within one month of project completion. This payment can be made via money order, PayPal, credit card (all major cards accepted), or personal/business check (clearing period of seven business days required).
