Interesting to see this over-inflated quote for an Adult Paysite project, if you have a adult website project that you need us to quote on please give us a call or email.
HOSTING/SERVER REQUIREMENTS
I recommend using a 3rd party server for your project. Once you’re ready to begin, I’ll walk you through the signup process, to make sure that you’re purchasing the server so that it will be properly configured from the start.
1) VPS or Dedicated Servers. This is the company that has hosted my own site and that of dozens of my clients for the last 16+ years. I have excellent support channels and know their methods, procedures and servers better than any other host. You have two options here:
a) Managed VPS-III Account: $100 per month
b) Managed Dedicated Server: Starting at $299 per month:
SITE DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT
Wordpress: Using a framework like Divi Theme Builder / Visual Composer.
The site will be compatible across desktops, tablets and phones, using the ‘Divi 3.0’ wordpress framework (or similar) to do the actual design of the site. It’s a blank canvas of a page builder for wordpress, that allows for almost limitless design possibilities, and gives you, the end user the ability to edit copy on any page, and control the visibility of all of your content. You can explore what that’s capable of here:
Technically, you will have (2) separate wordpress installations. (We discussed this over the phone) One for the free tour area and another for the members area (members.[domain name]). I’ll only be building one theme, which we will develop on one installation, then clone to the other once the design is done.
Other notable features:
The site will be setup SEO friendly using the YOAST SEO plugin. You can edit all of your page titles, meta descriptions and keywords. If you have social media pages, we will make sure that FB/OpenGraph/Twitter cards and authorship are setup for SEO as well.
Your sites pages and scripts will be optimized for google’s mobile speed using WPRocket plugin.
I will maintain (5) weeks worth of weekly backups of the site on my own DropBox (or we can use yours)
Cost here, includes all pages, every design element, new logos, color scheme, fonts etc. Setup, installation and design of the entire inside and outside of the site and all required pages: $5950
CCBill Payment Gateway Integration
You will have to create a merchant account with CCBill in order to process high risk credit cards exclusively for the adult internet. The amount of time required to do this part of the setup can take approximately 8 hours (sometimes more), over the course of several days.
Since this is a new account, we have to set up billing forms and integrate them into the site. Once you create an account with them, you’ll need to add me as an authorized agent who is allowed to deal with CCBill customer service reps on your behalf to complete the setup.
Estimate cost of this segment: $950
Please note that the above costs are my fee for doing the technical integration, and have nothing to do with the ‘new account fees’ that either processor will require you to pay upfront to actually process credit cards. You can view their prices here:
They require you to pay $1000 upfront to process US transactions + $500 more for Europe.
PLUGIN SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS:
a) SliderRevolution – This is a plugin that we will use to create an impressive intro/splash page presentation slider or animation that regardless of size, will fit and work on mobile devices and desktops/tablets. SliderRevolution Software: $25/yr – need to renew every year for updates and support. *You need to purchase and license this yourself, as your email address has to be attached to it to get updates
and support.
b) EnviraGallery – photo gallery software plugin. http://enviragallery.com/pricing/ You’ll need the ‘Plus’ version in order to get the required functionality we’ll need like gallery themes + pagination, etc.
EnviraGallery Software: $69/yr – need to renew every year for updates and support.
*You need to purchase and license this yourself, as your email address has to be attached to it to get updates and support
TOTAL COST SUMMARY (Excluding hosting costs, mentioned above):
Hi-end ‘pornstar/glamour model’ website design and setup as mentioned above = $5950
Payment gateway integration into the site: $950
Estimated development cost: $4500
Payable directly to 3rd-party Software licenses:
$94 per year – ongoing.
Payable directly to CCBill or Epoch for merchant services:
$1000-$1500 – one-time fee fraud prevention/account setup.
TERMS
Terms are 50% down, then 50% upon approval. Final payment must be made BEFORE master passwords are handed over, and the site placed live.
Please keep in mind that the solution I’m quoting you is highly robust, will be able to handle generous amounts of web traffic, will be scalable and can grow with you for many years (5-6+ or more) before you risk becoming outdated, ( as long as you keep wordpress core up
to date) . I have some girls with this setup that have 1000+ members at a time, and have never been hacked or compromised, or had any sizeable issues with their platform.
I’m booked out about 6-8 weeks right now before I’d be able to start the actual site design. Since your site is totally new, there are lots of 3rd party considerations and things that needs to happen in the right order (hosting, ccbill, etc). So we could begin that part as soon
as you’re ready – and I’ll you through that until I’m ready to begin the build. Typically the setup and design would take 10-14 days to complete AFTER the server is properly setup and configured, you’ve got all the requisite software, and I have all of your content to work with.
I’m here if you’d like to chat, and more importantly – if you’d like to reserve a spot on the schedule, please let me know as soon as possible. I have 2-3 other quotes out right now that came in around the same time as yours. Thanks again, I look forward to working with you!
