Pricing - How much will it cost?

The cost will really depend on what you want.  Here is a list of what we typically provide:

• Initial Website (you do not currently have a website)
• Modify Existing Website (you have a website but want modifications)
• Monthly Plans
• Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
• Graphics Design
• Training

Initial Website

If you do not currently have a website, the costs start around $350.  We would love to give you a maximum cost but it really depends on what you want.  We prefer to host your website on one of our preferred hosting provider.  The main reason is to ensure that the software we use to create your website is 100% compatible with the hosting environment.  If you already have a website but want a complete make over, we may be able to use your hosting provider (it depends on the hosting company that you are using).  If we can use it, we will so you will not incur any additional costs.  The base price includes the complete install and configuration of your site.  When we have completed the installation, your website will be ready for you to add your content.  The base price does not include you content but if you need help, we can do that for you as well for an additional charge.

We have quite a number base templates to choose from.  These base designs are nothing more than a starting point for your site.  We use a template as a starting point to save our customers money.  You can either decide which overall style you prefer and we can start from there OR you can tell us about what kind of website you want and we can start from scratch.

Some companies will tell you that using a template is not a good idea.  We disagree.  All the templates are extremely flexible and allows for just about any combination of ideas you may want to incorporate.  We use templates as the starting point to save our customers a lot of money.  Since we do not have to redesign the entire framework from scratch, that translates to dollars you save.

Our websites are completely maintainable by the customer.  Once your website is configured, you have the ability to make changes to ALL the content and graphics.  In the end, this will also save your a tremendous amount of money.  Since our websites are dynamic, you make a change and it is immediately reflected on your website.  You do not have to pay someone to change your website content if you do not want to.  This does not mean that we cannot maintain the site for you.  We will be happy to do so but we are giving you the option.  The key to a successful website is fresh content.

Modify Existing Website

If you already have a website and want to make changes OR have a website that we created for you, we charge a flat rate of $40/hr.  We can handle any type of work related to websites, domains, and the internet.  If you need references, we can provide them as well.

Just let us know how what needs to be done and we can provide you with an estimate for the work.

Monthly Plans

Once your website is up and running, we also offer 3 additional monthly plans:

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

One of the main goals of a website is a good ranking in search engines (such as Google).  Now we are not going to tell you that we guarantee a top 10 ranking since that is really not possible but we can help you improve your chances of a good ranking.  We know that there are many companies out there that "guarantee" a rank.  You can try them if you wish but you may be wasting your money.

We understand how the search engines work.  There is not some magic formula that you can use and watch your site climb the rankings.  In reality, a good ranking takes planning and more importantly, good content on your website.  With our knowledge, we can help you achieve a better ranking. We use a flat $40 hourly rate for all SEO.

Graphics Design

We have access to a professional graphic artist who can help design just about any image imaginable.  We can provide additional graphics for:

• Logos
• Website branding and identity
• Multimedia

just to name of few.

We can also help you with website usability.  If your current website is difficult to navigate, let us take a look and see what we can do.  Your site may just need a few tweaks and not a major overhaul to make it fast and clean.  Pricing for graphics varies greatly.

Training

Having trouble with your software?  We provide training as well.  We can help you with all aspects of your website.  There are many tools available that allow training over the internet which means lower costs.  The software is free and only requires a high speed internet connection.  We can even talk over the internet so not to tie up your work phone.

We provide training for all products we install and any aspect of your website.  This includes domain registration, hosting, and the website software itself.  If it is related to your website, we can train you on how to use it.  We use a flat $40 hourly rate for all training.
