We specialize in a technique, a process for building websites that is industry and brand agnostic. Other than a few highly scientific and/or rare technical complexities, our expertise lies in our ability to take a client from vision to reality. We work closely with clients through each step of the process to fully grasp the visual message from conception through launch. Our expertise lies in the details of the process regardless of the industry, brand or product line. We have worked with clients in highly specialized niche sectors to broad-based CPG brands, and all are given the same expert care.
Each site is different and depending on the requirements, timelines will vary. Before we start, you receive a detailed outline of each step and how many hours are necessary to complete the build. Each site is customized by client requirements, functionality, goals and essential mission. Exactly how many hours are spent depends on these elements plus the number of pages, codebase, responsiveness, if a payment processor and commerce capabilities are needed as well as any other technical integrations. While the technique is the same, each client is unique so we invest in the comprehensive project requirements early on to ensure the build process is seamless and efficient. Once we complete the initial consultation we can provide a projected timeline.
Although WordPress is our core specialty, our developers and engineers are trained on multiple platforms, code language and continue to stay abreast of changes and updates to factors that impact website renditions.
As a client, you will receive a complete set of all deliverables once the project is completed. The final text, mock-ups, designs in editable form, HTML files, customized word press themes, and any deliverable we create on your behalf is yours as soon as it’s completed. We do not believe in holding clients’ businesses hostage.
Absolutely, it would be our pleasure. We pride ourselves on our happy clients, it reflects on the passion we put into our work.
Clients may hire us for any services they wish. There is no requirement or relationship between web development and/or any other service. You may use us for one function or many, it is up to you. However, when it comes to digital marketing, it’s most effective when all marketing disciplines are aligned.
The service may appear the same in name but the difference lies in the process, customization, and quality of work. We deploy a unique approach to web design and online marketing, one that emphasizes user-centricity in UI/UX, strategic applications of the latest techniques and technologies to ensure all of your marketing efforts effectively communicate your unique brand story. We use an iterative, agile process to ensure that your comprehensive web presence, from start to end, combines to present a cohesive brand strategy that illustrates the uniqueness of your business. Our typical ratio is 8:1, (8 team members to each 1 client). We have flipped the digital marketing world on its head by creating an agency focused entirely on quality. As a result, we work with fewer clients on a far more exclusive basis driving a greater quantity of results
Our job is to manage the process so you can focus on running your business. We act as an extension of your team. We include you in every part of the process so any questions and/or feedback is caught early on. All we need is a clear view of your vision and your attention when it comes time for approval so we remain on schedule. If you don’t approve a mock-up on time it could delay the process. However, we remain flexible and can move our deadlines to accommodate your schedule.
We have no requirements, restrictions or limitations as to who we work with and where they are in the development process. Whether you are starting from scratch or are looking to refresh your existing brand, the process is the same. We respect all projects regardless of size, scale or scope. The time to complete your redesign will depend on the extent of functionality of the new pages, design, illustration or imaging required and a host of other factors. Following the initial consultation, we will be able to provide a more accurate timeline for completion.
Simple content changes can be made as often as you wish – creating new layouts or redesigning of visual elements will be quoted on a project-by-project basis. Upon completing an initial assessment, we’ll be able to provide a scope of work estimate.

eCuras is headquartered in New Jersey with staff based around the world. We are a remote organization as we find that running a 24/7 business is much more effective when our staff can access what they need at any moment of the day. We only hire people that are fully committed to the eCuras mission and are willing to go to any length to serve our clients. We don’t care where our staff is based as long as they are the best in their respective field.
We prefer not to speculate prior to launch as we have nothing to base an accurate or calculated judgment on. Once we start our work, typically within 60 days our team can provide an estimate of when you should expect to start seeing rank results from our collective efforts.
Yes, we offer web hosting services at reasonable fees, we don’t mark-up for hosting.
What makes eCuras special is highly customized processes and personalization. No two clients, websites, projects are the same. Each and every client is entirely different. However, prior to commencing any work, we establish a flat estimate based on a set hourly rate so you can see exactly how many hours we will spend on each element within the process. We don’t arbitrarily add unnecessary features or functions to rack up extra fees, we don’t overbill. Unless there is a change in the project scope such as the addition of new pages, design modifications, large adjustments to the original proposal, the price will be exactly the same as the initial quote. The price only changes if the order changes.
We require clients to approve and sign-off on each step of the build process prior to our progress to the following stage. This is your website and we work on your behalf. You call the shots, we just guide you through the most effective process and provide the technical capabilities expertise. It is our job to make your vision a reality with digital storytelling mechanisms.
You will have the opportunity to review all designs early on in the process and have complete editorial and design freedom to provide as much or as little feedback, thoughts or ideas you feel are needed to achieve your intended vision. We are flexible with revision requests, particularly early in the process as our goal is to ensure that we are creating a digital version of your story.
We work in tandem with clients as partners. There are no requirements or rules. What’s good for one is good for both. Our staff has worked with people from all over the world in a wide variety of capacities. If you prefer your designers to create the look and feel, we will provide the technical specifications. Alternatively, if you prefer to use our designers and your own developers, we will provide whatever your team requests. We don’t place limitations or restrictions on our clients. Our only goal is that the best product is created in whatever way that occurs. Our business is based on a foundation of freedom of spirit and customization for each project.
Never. We do not even test processes or services with professionals outside our organization. All of our work is performed by employees or contractors of eCuras, we never experiment with client projects. We test our methods with internal resources and projects only.
We do not jeopardize our client’s projects or deadlines under any circumstance. Our global staff allows us to create redundancies and back-up contingency plans that are triggered automatically should certain situations or circumstances occur. Technical issues are always prioritized with the highest urgency. Life happens, things change, but our experience has taught us well about establishing alternatives and creating technical and human resource redundancies where necessary. We are realistic that people fall ill or move on to new opportunities but we plan well for these types of situations. We believe in complete and absolute transparency with our clients. We aspire to provide a level of confidence in our abilities by being forthright and to keep you updated on any delays affecting the project. We have never had a client complain to the contrary. That being said, we are thorough and calculated about preparing for the unknown. Historically, the only real challenge we have experienced relates to delays in receiving the appropriate feedback within the required timeline from the client. It is important that everyone involved in the project from your side and ours respect the deadlines and deliverables or it impacts the greater team at large.
