Two clear paths from your Journey prototype. Recommended: Option A tidy + deploy/host ($9,720) for mobile, accessibility and content migration. Option B available if you want more design or extra features. Credibility for referred prospects, not lead-gen SEO.
Cadence is a mid-size accounting and financial planning firm. The website exists for referred prospects who need to feel confident before they book, not for SEO lead generation. You have already done a fair bit of strategic and Journey work, so there is something solid to build on. The real production work is mobile polish, accessibility, and bringing existing content across properly. Booking in the Journey is a demo until we lock what it should do and what we keep from the old site.
Legacy site no longer matches the brand or Journey. Domain was down on discovery, so lift-and-shift of a live front end is not the path. Content, strategy and IA are already owned internally. Booking behaviour and what carries over from the old site still need to be nailed down.
Ven tidies and productionises your Journey for Ven hosting: mobile, accessibility, content migration, SEO care. We are not re-running strategy discovery, inventing a multi-page IA, adding a blog, or introducing a CRM.
Option A (recommended): tidy + deploy/host at 54 hrs · $9,720, closest fit to the work remaining. Option B stays available if you want more design work or extra features (94 hrs · $16,920). Same rate either way: $180 + GST / hr.
Recommended path is Option A. Option B stays available if you want more design work or extra features. Same rate on both. Calendly in each package once booking is scoped (Journey booking is a demo today); custom booking UI optional on B only.
Closest fit: tidy the Journey you already have, finish mobile and accessibility, migrate content properly, productionise for Ven hosting, preserve SEO. Build-out and deployment, not a greenfield rebuild.
Choose when you want deeper design recreation, richer interaction, or extra features beyond tidy + deploy. Same rate; higher hours.
Recommended path. You have already done a fair bit; the Journey gives us something to work with. Real work in this package: mobile polish, accessibility, bringing existing content across properly, productionising for Ven hosting, and locking booking (Journey booking is a demo until scoped). Framing: build-out and deployment of your Journey, not a greenfield strategy project.
Available if you want more design work or extra features beyond tidy + deploy. Ven expert design and UX recreate the Journey more deeply across the single-page experience, with richer stories interaction and production finish. Calendly in base; custom booking optional. Choose this when 54 hours is not enough for the design depth or features you want.
