Is $2K a reasonable price for a landing page and funnel analysis? It is from highly regarded agency we will eventually work with on a larger scale.
Depends on many, many things:
etc.
Sorry C, totally I disagree with you here: developers like pretty things too. Look at Stripe, not only it's the best payment API (not even sucking up) but it's implemented beautifully.
If you just want to do some market analysis with a landing page I would go with a hosted landing page provider like leadpages or unbounce (30-50€/month). 2K just for testing the water seems a little bit too much.
If you're asking it's that you do not know what you're doing. If you accept it will be a pain for them and for you.
Do it yourself, learn.
Being founders is a constant exercise in not knowing what we're doing and trying to figure it out. That's almost the job definition!
I'll add to that by noting that we can learn in many ways — by paying others for their services, by asking for help in a community like this one, by rolling up your sleeves and writing code ourselves, etc. There isn't just one right way.
I agree but what I'm saying is that that kind of services are hard to manage when you know nothing about it. It's much better for him to first learn all the basics, try to do it himself and them if he really struggle or want to focus on something else, hire someone. He'll be able to check if the service company is doing shit or not.>
I personally meet people hiring agencies every day, and as soon as they don't know the basics and never put hands into it, the agency notice it and overcharge.. :/
What's the value to you in dollars that an efficient funnel would bring? Thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands? $2k might not be that much with that perspective.
If its for testing, sytescope.com lets you do A/B testing in for your landing funnel pages. $30/m Canadian for base product, can even have custom domains for the funnels. Similar to leadpages.
Is it a landing page analysis and a funnel analysis or a landing page design and a funnel analysis?
Really depends:/
If you have content ready and mvp allows templated design etc it should be cheaper. But if your solution is complex and you invest into unique design... then mb fine.
Why not use some trmplate builder before paying money?
Exactly!
