My Design Process and Fees
HOW I START ON YOUR DESIGN ....
Once you have decided as to the overall layout to be used I will require certain information and files from you. That includes bio information on yourself and your company (if applicable) as well as any general information about the site, photos, videos, referral data, location and phone number(s) and email address. With that I can start to work on designing you the best site for your purpose. In most cases I can provide your first viewing of the site within 24 hours. The site will contain your basic information, all of the graphics and media files but most text will be gibberish until I complete the site with the text information to replace the gibberish. This gives you the opportunity to make any requests to change the basic layout. And I do this without your having to visit me in our office at this time. I will provide you with a link to view the sampling of your site. There you can view your site, and if we are both on line at the same time, I can make minor changes and you'll be able to see them within a minute or two.
If you like any current customers site's layout I can use the same layout but with your graphics, or ones I create for you. The changes I make with the appropriate backgrounds and other graphic changes for your site, their site will not look the same as yours.

My Design Fees
Compare Before You Decide...
COMPARE THE DETAILS BEFORE YOU MAKE A MISTAKE ....
While some people may feel that some of the flashy ads are great deals ... they aren't! They often have page limits based on cost. ONE page for $500.00??? ... that is NOT a bargain. My basic sites have a minimum of 5 pages; and they all cost the same to create. Of course much larger and more comprehensive sites are quoted ahead of time. You will also notice the ad above shows "optional" for the standard contact form used on most sites. While they charge extra for this feature, I include standard contact forms in all my designs at no extra cost. I also offer, for a minimal fee, a customized contact form to meet all your needs. Flash-show presentations are NOT available on their "basic" sites. Most of my sites have them included, again, at no extra cost. And if you click on the link below and look at some of my site creations you will see NONE have only TWO pages.

If you ARE only interested in ONE page, we ask you to use the link at the bottom of the page for a quote on a site with less than 5 pages. However, I highly suggest you do some further research as I feel that ALL websites require more than just one or two pages to properly display the purpose for having a web site. Page link tabs for HOME, ABOUT, SERVICES, GALLERY, & CONTACT are usually the standard tab labels on most sites. Keep in mind, what ever your decision I will tailor your site design to fit your needs, not mine.
For a full comprehensive website with 5 pages ......

The design fee includes at no extra charge the domain name registration for ONE year (if you don't already have one), FREE HOSTING for ONE year and FREE UPDATES for the first six months. *See note below*Additional pages available at the rate of $150 per additional page.
WANT A SMALLER AND LESS COSTLY SITE ....
If you are only interested in single sliding page I can also provide a special ONE page scrolling site. This will have the typical links for HOME, ABOUT, SERVICES, GALLERY, & CONTACT but all of them are contained with in a single page. This type of site has some limitations but is still quite functional and has all the features of a full design website including being "mobile responsive".
MY FLAT RATE FEE IS ONLY ....$250.00

If you are only interested in ONE page I can provide a special ONE page entry site. This is usually the type of page used for "coming soon" websites or those not requiring anything more than contact information and a few other details. This type of site includes being "mobile responsive".
MY FLAT RATE FEE IS ONLY ....$85.00
