New Pricing Packages from June 1st

If you snooze you lose, ain’t that the truth? While you were dilly-dallying and waiting for the stars to align, you missed your chance to hire me for a song.

Now my plate is fuller: more projects, bigger projects, e-commerce projects, more clients to visit, more clients to maintain. The one constant has been the 24 hour day, and last I checked, it’s not going to change anytime soon.

So it’s with a heavy heart I must announce that I’ve revised all my price packages effective June 1st, 2014. I also made some changes to the packages themselves:

Business Website Packages

I’ve eliminated the Basic Package and made the lowest tier package the Standard Package which may be suitable for working individuals with a side business. I could also never do just the basics as I always tend to do more.

The Corporate Package is what any company who wants to be taken seriously needs. It provides a solid, professional image more for a strong corporate presence than active online marketing hence no SEO. Not that the site won’t be SEO friendly, but their is a difference when active SEO techniques are applied.

The Premium Package is just that, close your eyes and get the whole 9 yards with no ‘chinksing’.

E-Commerce Website Packages

I’ve eliminated Big Commerce hosted e-commerce and added a second Magento E-Commerce package. The WordPress E-Commerce remains, however, the TT Dollar payment gateway via First Atlantic Commerce (FAC) is not available.

Magento is a lot of work, requiring a lot of my time and is in reality more like PROJECT MANAGEMENT to ensure that all the moving parts work together. It’s not about throwing up an online store and configuring categories and adding products, but about properly positioning the site to be what it should.

I’ve also included the third party costs like VPS hosting, SSL Certificate and TT Dollar payment gateway which is why it would seem like a drastic price increase but these would have been in addition to my previous published price. The reason for this is to give a clearer picture of how much the final working website would cost you with no surprise costs or hidden fees.

Forward Multimedia is staying ’boutique’

My competitors can breathe a sigh of relief that Forward Multimedia has no grand expansion plans. Yes business is good and steadily growing, but the reason why I’m good at what I do is because I love it and it’s not work. Being a company is work and I don’t like to work.

By ’boutique’ I mean I’ll continue to offer premium services to individuals and companies who recognize my premium value and are confident that they’ll get that value back in return. Hopefully you’re among them! I’m worth every penny.

About the Author

admin

I am Zaf Rahaman, owner of Forward Multimedia Ltd, a Trinidad based digital agency now in our 13th year. Through my experience acquired on the ground since 2011, I’ve become known as one of the foremost authorities in E-Commerce, especially as it pertains to Trinidad & Tobago.

I began writing blog articles on various topics after observing the lack of online information about local E-Commerce. These articles quickly propelled the Forward Multimedia to the number one position on Google for all major industry keywords, a position consistently held since without challenge.

In 2018 I was an invited panelist in the annual Trinidad and Tobago Internet Governance Forum. Also in 2018 I was an invited speaker for the launch of the Virtual Caribbean DNS Entrepreneurship Center (VDECC) an initiative of ICANN- the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, the international body that that coordinates the Domain Name System (DNS) worldwide.

I was also a stakeholder consultant for the Ministry of Trade & Industry’s National E-Commerce Policy which was passed in December 2018, with many of my recommendations making it to the final policy.

Most of all, I love to write AND love to write on everything website and E-Commerce related to help business owners in Trinidad & Tobago get the most out of their online presence.

ALL articles and pages on my site are written by me, in my voice, from the ground up, and for you, from a Trini perspective, using local examples and applications.
