All of these sites come with 6 months service included. If you want to change it every day of those six months, that's ok. After all, the whole point of hiring a Website Designer is to take advantage of his expertise. So call and ask for changes as often as you like!
You need to save money, and I need to make money, so here's the bottom line:
Basic Website - $150
If you want to establish a web presence but aren't really
sure how you want to approach it this is probably your best bet.
For this you get a single page with three images plus your logo.
These pages are excellent for posting basic information about your business
such as your specialties, your service area map, address and phone number,
etc. The page can be as large as you like with as many links as you
like, but you only get one of them.
Premium Website - $500
This is the standard business website. You get
up to 5 linked pages and 3 images plus your logo. These sites are
great for highlighting different aspects of your businesses and showing
yourself to your best advantage.
Deluxe Website - $1200
If you want something flashy, with moving images, multiple
nested pages, things that blink and change when you drag a mouse over them,
music and other sounds pouring out of the computer's speaker system, this
is the one for you. This is just the thing to impress your potential
customers and your associates. If this is your choice, you get up
to 20 pages and 10 images plus your logo. Please bear in mind that
you are essentially commissioning a work of art, so don't expect a next-day
turnaround time. But because a flashy site that changes constantly
encourages repeat visits as well as word-of-mouth advertising, the results
will be well worth the hassle and expense.
E-Commerce Website
Although I have the tools to create these, I don't do
them because they really require the support of a full time person.
If you want to make me an offer I'll certainly listen to it, but my kids
are of an age that I'm not really looking to take on this type of work
just now. Just for informational purposes, you should be looking
at about $10,000 for the server hardware to handle secure credit card transactions
plus an investment in database software and programming expertise.
If you'd like to try selling over the web without the investment, I'd recommend
trying one of the auction sites such as eBay.
If you are one of my regular clients I'd be happy to whip up an auction
page template for you at no additional charge.
Extras
Additional Images - $50
Some folks tell me, "Only three images? That's
not very many." Well, yes and no. Notice how there's only one
image in this entire site. In this context an image is a picture
created specifically for your website and these are some of the most difficult
things to get right. But your logo is always included and images
that are ready made (such as manufacturer's logos to attach to links from
your site) don't cost you anything. What you're paying for is digital
image manipulation of photographs. If you like, I'll come out and
take the pictures myself, or I can scan photographs you send me in the
mail. *But* if you have a digital camera or a scanner and
can send me digital images ready to go onto the website, then that is FREE.
