Website Design for Wineries

When is payment due?

After you provide your project details, we will give you a final quote and contract. 1/2 of the total project cost is due at the start of the project with your signed contract, and the remainder upon completion and launch of your new website.

What defines a ‘page’?

Pages each have their own specific URL. Separate sections of your website that have their own images, text content and design elements constitute these pages, and usually consist of the Home Page, About, News, Events, Wine Club, Vineyards, Winemaking, Contact, etc. Most wineries will not be in danger of going over the number of pages provided in our website build packages (12 WordPress, 6 Squarespace). Our one-page package is in long-scroll format, so you can still have navigation at the top that scrolls down to the relevant section. We actively design to consolidate your content onto fewer pages to improve user experience and navigability. Basic text-only information pages like policy pages don’t count towards the page count. The online store and associated product pages also don’t count towards the page count.

What tech support is provided?

All websites are given guaranteed, unlimited tech support through the first month after launch. Following this period, we have a $50/month tech support plan that covers everything you will need for continual upgrades, security and support of your site. This service is required for our WordPress websites, which are more vulnerable to security threats, outdated plugins and server-related outages than Squarespace.

What if I need a large-scale website for a wine region?

We’ve created several large websites for AVAs and wine regions. These websites are much larger than a standard winery website and come with additional features like winery directories, reservation systems, and virtual-reality integrations. The general cost of these sites is 8-16k depending on breadth and features.

Do you accept designs from third parties?

What about domain names and hosting?

We can help you secure and renew your domain name as well as set up your website hosting. We have tech support plans for our WordPress website packages that handle all server, domain and email costs for you. If you choose to pay for these services on your own and not as part of a Vinbound tech support package, expect the following:

Domain name registration: Averages $14.95/year
SquareSpace Website Hosting: $144/year  – $300/year
WordPress Website Hosting: $50-200/year (on the excellent Siteground hosting service)
SSL Certificate: Free on Squarespace or WordPress websites on Siteground.

What is the design timeline?

This depends on our current workload and the size of your project. Once you have provided all the assets needed (photos, text, etc.), we aim to have One-Page websites ready in 2 weeks, SquareSpace websites ready 4 weeks, and 12+ page WordPress websites in 6-8 weeks. Of course all everything depends on prompt client communication and decision-making.

What other services might we need beyond web design?

We provide a wide range of digital marketing services beyond web design, including aerial photography, wine bottle shots, ongoing website management, email marketing, and more. Use the navigation at top to jump to the service section relevant to you. A list of add-on services are also listed on each of the three website package pages.
