Sean Dinwiddie’s Webmastery works across Klamath Falls, Redding, and the towns in between. You speak with Sean: in Klamath Falls at the KLounge or at your shop, and from Redding and the towns in between by phone, video and email.
What happens next
Tell us the job (what the business needs to do and who has to use the result), when it is needed and which example on the site it comes closest to. Sean answers every serious inquiry, one that says those three things, and the answer leads to a written scope and fee.
From there you get a written scope that opens like a receipt, with the job, the fee, the delivery date and the webmaster, and separates the required work from the optional work. Every fee traces to two figures, $6,000 a month and $120,000 a year, the same for a kiosk and a county office:
- A one-time job, from a third share ($2,000) of the monthly engagement. A third share is paid at signing, against a written scope that names the result and its delivery date; a half share and up is half at signing and half on acceptance.
- The monthly engagement ($6,000 a month), the site kept running and the month’s changes on a written work list agreed with you. It is held month to month and billed each month in advance, with 30 days’ notice from either side.
- The annual engagement ($120,000 a year), a year of the monthly work plus technology planning and an accessibility program. It is billed monthly at $10,000 and can be ended for convenience, as public contracts usually provide.
Work outside the scope is priced the same way and starts only with your approval. Public offices pay on their own invoice terms.
The number above reaches Sean, the founder, who stands behind every job. Every webmaster works to one standard: a written scope, and Sean’s review against it before anything goes live. You know which webmaster does your work, from the written scope through delivery, and after it under the monthly engagement; that webmaster brings to it what the whole team has learned. If that webmaster is ever away or leaves the team, the engagement stays with Sean Dinwiddie’s Webmastery and Sean covers the work. You can also choose another webmaster.
Not sure what you need yet
That is normal. The services describe what each kind of project involves, and examples shows sites Sean has built. When the job itself needs working out first, a consultation is a third share ($2,000) of the $6,000 monthly engagement and ends in notes you keep: what to build, what to leave, and the shares each part would take.
For webmasters
On the Sean Dinwiddie’s Webmastery team, the name brings in local work, the fee is published and never lowered to win a job, and every job has a written scope, so the time on each job goes to the craft rather than to selling and haggling. The client decides every addition, and each one is quoted in writing before it starts and paid like the rest of the job. The stack follows the project: many brochure sites run on WordPress, set to update themselves, while custom apps follow the chain the team’s lessons teach, and each written scope names the stack.
Webmasters join at every stage of the craft, junior included. Joining asks one thing, quality work, and begins with the work itself, the first job paid like every other: every launch is reviewed against the written scope before it goes live, a check of results and never of method, the name vouches for the work, the team’s lessons teach the practice, and what one webmaster learns on a job does not stop with them.
Webmasters work as subcontractors from their own practice, keep 70% of the fee on their work, one-time or held each month, show that work under their own name and look after the sites they build for as long as the owner holds the monthly engagement and wants them. The agency keeps 30%, inside the published fee and never added to the owner’s bill, for the name, the contract, billing and collection, and the review before launch.
