Skookum Monkey will be more than happy to design and develop the perfect WordPress theme to suit your needs. All of our custom themes are a flat rate, based on various elements and add-ons. We build your theme with a variety of pick-and-pay elements, specific to your needs. You will never be surprised with cost when time comes to pay your final invoice.

The basic fee structure is as follows:

• The base price is $600.00. If you want the same layout for every page, then that is it. This includes licences to any premium plugins we may use.
• For each additional unique layout, it costs an addition $200.00 per unique layout. These unique layouts also double as shared layouts that can be applied to specific pages and posts when creating new content. For most customers, one layout for the landing page and another layout for all inside pages is enough. Clarification on what “unique layout” means will be discussed during the initial consultation.
• If your current website is not WordPress-based, then it’s $200.00 to add existing content (up to five pages) from your non-WordPress site to your new WordPress site. Additional pages are $80 per page.
• BuddyPress installation, setup, and design is an additional $200.00.
• WooCommerce installation, setup, and design is an additional $200.00
• Importing your old forums into BuddyPress and making sure it all works is $200.00.
• Importing non-WooCommerce content into WooCommerce and making sure it all works is $200.00.

Also included in the above costs are:

• Lifetime updates to the framework used to run your theme.
• One year of support with your theme. This support begins once the final product is delivered and paid for. This support means: if you need any minor changes—fonts, colours, etc., less than 30 minutes—or something stops working, then we’ll fix it for free. Anything over 30 minutes, such as major architecture changes, will cost $40.00 per hour.
• After one year of support, we can continue to provide support for $40.00 per hour, minimum one hour charged.
• Custom documentation and one-on-one Skype tutorials, as requested.
• Optional one year of free hosting.
• 100% satisfaction guaranteed. The final product will not be considered delivered until you are completely satisfied.

Once your free consultation is over, you will be given the cost. That cost will never change unless you change your mind on a major element and a new price is negotiated.
