Custom Web Design
With a custom designed website, we have the flexibility to make
the website look and function the way you want it, even matching

a choice from up to three custom designed concepts, created specifically
for your project.
Base price for a new website is $750
Domain Name Registration
The website's domain name is what is often referred to as the
"website address". Website domain names are registered
through separate companies known as domain registrars. I can assist
you in registering a domain name with the proper organization.
Domain name fees range are $35 a year or lower.
Website Visitor Statistics
In order to find out how well your website is working for you,
there are a variety of website tracking service that record the
number of visitors, what pages they read and for how long, as
well as many other useful statistics.
Tracking services run between $5 - $15 a month. Free services
are also available, although with less thorough information.
Website Maintenance
Any website I design is owned by you, the client. You are welcome
to perform updates and modifications as you wish. However, doing
so may require a knowledge of website coding that many people
are not willing to learn.
If you foresee that your routine updates will be minimal and sporadic,
every few months or so, then it may make more sense for you to
simply pay to have your website updates done, rather than going
through the learning curve required to maintain the site yourself.
Website updates are billed at an hourly rate, with a minimum charge
of 1/4 hour.
Depending on the amount of work involved, we can arrange billing
on a monthly or quarterly basis. For most websites, routine updates
do not amount to more than a couple hours each quarter. If you
think that your website will need updates on a frequent basis,
you may opt to enter into a quarterly maintenance contract.
Website maintenance is billed at $50/hour
Search Engine Optimization
Getting your website listed with the search engines, such as Google
and Bing, requires an in-depth knowledge of Search Engine Optimization
(SEO) that not all website designers possess.
Search Engine Optimization starts at $125
Website Hosting
Website hosts are companies that provide space on a server that
has a dedicated connection to the internet. This is where your
website files reside in order to be accessible by the public.
Website hosting fees for a normal small business website are
$15 - $20 a month.
