GallantMEDIA may require a deposit or down payment in advance of starting your project. This helps to offset some of our initial costs as well as secures our working relationship. Deposits are non refundable.

We accept Visa, Mastercard, AMEX, Paypal, Debit, Cash or business cheque. Need to make an online payment? Visit our payments page.

Our clients can choose to remain on a strictly hourly basis or may choose from several yearly maintenance plans. Purchasing a block of time in advance will give you a much better rate over going hourly. Maintenance plan hours may be used towards updating sales, specials, pictures, content, products etc. Contact us to find out more about our website maintenance packages.

GallantMEDIA may, unless otherwise requested, use pre-made website templates as a base for your design. These templates are fully customizable. In most cases we could use the same template for two different companies and the finished products would look nothing alike. We use these templates simply to save you time and money.

Creating a custom, original design from scratch could take upwards of 20 hours alone, before any of the coding is done, where as we can purchase a pre-made template much cheaper and spend only 2 hours customizing it, for example, saving you hundreds of dollars. Depending on your needs, however, we can certainly create a custom, original design.

Are our prices the lowest in the industry? No.
Are our prices the highest in the industry? Absolutely not.

With GallantMEDIA you get fast, friendly, professional service at a very competitive price. We focus on our superior customer service skills and less on the confusing technical jargon, just ask our current clients. We’re one of the largest and fastest growing design companies in the area for a reason. We would much rather be accessible and affordable to any size business than to just a few larger ones. Sure, we could charge the industry standard of $75-100/hr, but we’re not trying to get rich at the expense of the little guy. Our large client base allows us to keep our pricing affordable.

We can certainly work with any web hosting company and/or domain registration company you’ve chosen to deal with. We do recommend, however, that if you haven’t yet registered a domain name and/or hosting to let us handle that for you. If desired, we can even switch a domain name and hosting account from one company to our provider.

We deal with the same hosting company for 99% of our clients because they’re safe, secure, easy to deal with and offer some of the most competitive pricing in the industry. Also, some website scripting or coding requires certain server requirements that your hosting company may or may not provide, therefore it’s optimal if we can register the domain name and hosting for you as we’ll know what’s required and what’s offered.

GallantMEDIA works quickly to make sure that your customers can find you online as soon as possible. When the moon and stars have been aligned just right we’ve built websites in just a day, though depending on many different influences, this can take up to several weeks or longer. GallantMEDIA specializes in quick, professional service! Rush projects that require work to be completed outside of scheduled timelines or that push another job already in progress may be billed at a higher rate unless special arrangements have otherwise been made in advance.

Total cost ultimately depends on how many pages, images and how much content you’re looking to put into your website. For example, building an online store full of merchandise takes longer than building a simple informational website. One thing we can guarantee is that you’ll never pay for more than the time it takes us to build it for you. Contact us for a free quote.
