TYPICAL TURNAROUND TIME
Over the years we have designed and developed hundreds of WordPress websites so we have a tight grip over the duration of each related task.
On Budget
On Time
In a project-based outsourcing model, the typical turnaround time for a project to be ready for its first review is five business days, but this may be influenced by many factors.
Mainly, the complexity of the requirements, the date in which it must be ready for its launch, the efficiency in which the partner agency delivers the assets required for the production process and the availability of the AURA project calendar, among others.
The turnaround time for projects are provided keeping in mind holidays, weekends, current availability and workload.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
We are agile enough so that your agency can also communicate the status of your projects to your clients in a timely manner.
Real-Time Project
Tracking
For the efficient management of WordPress projects we use tools such as ActiveCollab, Trello, Asana or any other you prefer. We will keep you informed minute-by-minute about any aspect of the project and its progress.
AURA offers a straightforward and efficient work process because we strive to work together in sync and achieve successful results in a timely manner.
GUARANTEE
The quality of work done by AURA is backed by a 90-day bug fix guarantee which covers any WordPress-related issues that may arise after project delivery.
90-Day Bug Fix
Guarantee
Our team works 24/7, always ready to solve any problem within the guarantee period, except problems arising from new plugins installed by you or your client, new code added, incorrect management of the website or hacker attacks.
In addition, for everything not covered by the guarantee, we offer affordable WordPress Care Plans.
HIRING OPTIONS
We offer two flexible contracting models: project-based and retainer fee, each has unique advantages for your agency. You will surely find one that suits your needs.
Project-Based
Model
It is best suited for agencies that have a one-off need with a small budget and short-term business goals. In reality, working under a project-based model can be an opportunity to test AURA’s teamwork and the quality of the work we do.
You can later turn it into a retainer partnering agreement for additional benefits such as ensuring the availability of our services on a priority basis for your agency.
Retainer-Based
Model
It is more suitable for agencies that have a clear vision of their future with enough potential to operate in the long term and aim to develop many WordPress projects. If this is your case, the retainer model may be a suitable option for you.
The retainer model (monthly fee paid upfront), in addition to being cost-efficient, will allow you to have a dedicated agency always working for you, putting itself in your shoes. This kind of model refers to an agreement between your agency and AURA to work together for a period of time, usually a minimum of 12 months.
Paying a flat monthly fee gives you the advantage of scaling your team easily by reserving our agency’s time and resources for you, so this fee gives you access to our entire agency team in a cost-effective way.
PRICING
Your agency can get the same hourly rate that a freelance developer can offer, but with the solid backing of a white label agency that only AURA can offer you.
Hourly Rate
Quotes
By partnering with AURA, you can scale your team without increasing your overhead or worrying about hiring and training new employees, taxes associated with the in-house hiring model, you name it.
Now you don’t have to worry about investing in space and other necessary resources like the computer that an employee would need to work, among others.
Key Points:
• More expensive but also more flexible
• Easier to make design/development changes
• Better if you do not have a clear vision
Fixed Rate
Quotes
According to the brief, AURA will review and confirm the project scope (SOW) to estimate the effort needed and thus be able to offer you a quote at a fixed price.
In this way, as a partner, you can have financial control of your projects. No catches, no fine print!
Key Points:
• Less expensive but SOW (Scope of Work) must be accurate
• More financial control / Easier to control cost
• Better for a well-planned vision
