Most businesses approach video production by asking for a quote before deciding what they actually need, which makes comparison impossible. Different scopes solve different problems. Here is how to work out which one applies to you before you look at a single price.
Option A: Editing only
Right for you if: you already have footage. Phone recordings from a site visit, an old shoot that was never finished, event coverage, product clips, or a hard drive of material nobody has touched.
This is the cheapest and fastest route to publishable content, and it is consistently the most overlooked. A surprising number of businesses have enough usable footage for a quarter of social content sitting unedited. If that is you, start here before commissioning anything new.
What you get: assembled edits, colour and sound correction, captions, graphics, and platform-specific versions. Typical turnaround: three to seven working days per batch.
Option B: Single production day
Right for you if: you need a foundation of original footage and do not yet have one. This is the standard starting point for most businesses.
One planned day of filming at your premises, covering interviews, facility or workspace coverage, product detail, and a deliberate bank of B-roll. Handled well, one day generates enough material for a hero film plus ten to fifteen short-form pieces.
What you get: planning, scripting, crew, filming, and a defined set of edited deliverables. Typical timeline: two weeks planning to delivery, plus editing.
Option C: Full brand production
Right for you if: the video is doing serious commercial work. Winning export clients, launching a product, supporting a funding round, or replacing a company profile that no longer reflects the business.
Multi-day filming, multiple locations, scripted narrative, professional voice-over where needed, custom motion graphics, and a full versioning suite. This tier is about depth and finish rather than volume.
What you get: a flagship asset built to represent the company for two to three years, plus the full library of supporting cuts. Typical timeline: four to six weeks.
Option D: Monthly retainer
Right for you if: your problem is consistency, not capability. You know what you want to publish, you just never publish it.
A fixed monthly arrangement covering a recurring shoot day or footage collection, an agreed volume of edited pieces, and a publishing calendar. This is the model that actually builds a content library, because it removes the decision from every single piece.
What you get: predictable output, predictable cost, and compounding presence. Commitment: usually three months minimum, because the effect is cumulative.
How to choose between them
If you have footage and no published content, start with editing only. It is the highest return for the lowest spend, and it will tell you quickly whether video moves anything for your audience.
If you have no footage and a specific goal, book a single production day and be disciplined about the shot list. Resist the temptation to make it a full brand production before you know what performs.
If you have a genuine commercial event driving the need, invest properly in a full production. Under-spending on a video that is meant to win contracts is a false economy.
If you have tried video before and stopped after two months, the problem is not production quality. Go to a retainer.
Questions worth asking any provider
How many deliverables come from one shoot day, and in which formats? How many revision rounds are included? Who owns the raw footage after delivery, and will it be handed over? What is the turnaround, in working days, from shoot to first cut? Is captioning and vertical versioning included or billed separately?
The answers to those five questions will differentiate quotes far more reliably than the headline price will.
Digidweb offers all four options and will tell you which one fits, including when the smallest one is the right answer. Current package details follow on the next page.

Pricing is deliberately not printed here. Scope drives cost, and quoting before scoping produces numbers that change later. Digidweb quotes against a defined shot list and deliverable count, so the figure you receive is the figure you pay.
