Cost Benefit Analysis:

A federal contracting company considering the design of a website has two options: leasing a website design for a low monthly payment or purchasing a website design between $3500 to $9,500+, depending on your specific requirements. The following is a cost-benefit analysis to determine which option is more favorable.

Benefits of Leasing:

1. Lower upfront costs: Leasing a website design requires a significantly lower upfront cost than purchasing. With leasing, the company pays only a small monthly fee, which is much easier to manage than a one-time payment of over $9,500.
2. Access to the latest designs: Leasing a website design means that the company has access to the latest and most updated designs. The leasing company will continuously update the website design to ensure it is current, which is important in industries like Federal, Defense, and Aerospace, where staying current on technology and trends is vital.
3. No maintenance costs: The leasing company is responsible for maintaining and updating the website design. This means that the federal contracting company does not have to worry about additional maintenance costs, as the leasing company is responsible for them, including the management of all of the software licensing fees.
4. Flexibility: Leasing provides the company with the flexibility to adjust the website design as needed. If the company’s needs or branding changes, the website design can be updated accordingly, without the need for a large upfront cost.

Benefits of purchasing:

1. Ownership: Purchasing a website design means that the federal contracting company owns the website design outright. This can be important for companies that want complete control over their website and branding.
2. Potential cost savings in the long run: While the upfront cost of purchasing a website design is high, it may result in cost savings in the long run. Over time, leasing costs can add up, and purchasing may be more cost-effective in the long term.

Based on the above analysis, it is clear that leasing a website design is a better option for a federal contracting company. The benefits of leasing, such as lower upfront costs, access to the latest designs, and no maintenance costs, far outweigh the benefits of purchasing, especially for those companies that are just starting out in the federal space.

Additionally, the fact that the web designer is a subject matter expert who has over 27+ years of experience with Federal, Defense, and Aerospace industries adds further value to the federal contracting client. Who can leverage directly from the designer’s industry-specific knowledge and expertise.
