Whether you want to map on your website to share the breadth of your work, invite visitors to explore a geographical area or find resources near them, we have built online interactive maps to suit all needs.
Below are some examples of our offerings and the development starting price for each. Prices and examples listed are a baseline. We can customize to meet any need. Factors such as the amount and source of data to be displayed, number of categories, base-map requirements and other special requests will impact pricing. All solutions assume WordPress as the backend management tool. Complex layouts and custom icons will also incur design fees.

The Seattle Restored map is on the lower-cost end for this solution. The layout is relatively simple, the base map uses Google Maps. We’ve got a simple popup on the map. We are working with ~50 listings.
At the high-end, the WA Food and Farm Finder is a completely customized solution, using multiple taxonomies, an ESRI powered, leaflet map and a customized layout designed to fit a lot of information in one screen. The WA Food and Farm Finder contains over 3000 listings.
To Google or not to Google Map?
The base-map you choose will have impacts on the up-front and ongoing costs for your project. For our self-contained solution (Map with Category FIlters) we build a React/Leaflet solution which allows us full control over the map style, marker icons, popups etc. The map portion is served up from a map tile provider based on Open Street Map. There are many out there to choose from: ie Mapbox, Stadia Maps, or ESRI. These tile providers have different pricing models, generally based on the traffic your map gets. We often suggest ESRI as they have a generous free tier, though that is subject to change.
For our maps with more complex filtering requirements (Map with Complex Filters and/or List View). We use a different tool where Google Maps is the default map tile provider. Google maps provides their tiles and geo-location services with a monthly allowance. If your site gets a lot of traffic, you may incur a monthly charge. This type of map can be customized to use leaflet/open street maps for an additional fee.
