What is a, “Bell and Whistle?”
A bell and whistle item is any special function or feature that your project requires that others may not. Not every project needs a bell and whistle, but most projects have one or two things about them that are not part of every project. If it takes a few extra hours to implement and isn’t typical of every website, we call that a bell and whistle item.
Why are they free?
We came up with the idea to include some flexible, added-effort items (aka bells and whistles) with our standard and elaborate site packages as a way to make sure that we could offer a one-size-fits-all pricing model and also accommodate the wide variety of requirements each project may include.
Having free bells and whistles allows us to offer packages that include everything our clients may need, so we don’t have to mess with estimating and can jump directly to building great websites.
