It is important to have a website that fully represents your company, but is also effective in reaching your goals. By conducting a detailed questionnaire, I spend the time listening to your needs, goals and vision so I can create a custom website that is effective in accomplishing them all. You’ll receive a website that reflects your business perfectly and delivers the results you are looking for.
Each website is created from scratch with custom graphics, buttons, backgrounds, hand-picked professional stock photos, photo retouching and XHTML & CSS coding.
The choice for new small businesses. You’ll receive a 1 page website, based on 1 design concept that includes all the necessities: a brief overview of your company & services, a selection of photos, a map and contact information. |
|
Engage your customers in greater detail about your products & services. You’ll receive a 5 page website, based on 1 design concept, including user-friendly navigation, a contact form that directs to your e-mail account and a unique experience for your users. |
|
A full-scale website allows your visitors to get to know and love your business. You’ll receive an 8 page website, with the option of a 2nd design concept, user-friendly navigation, slideshows, interactive elements, and a fully customized contact form. |
All website packages include custom graphic design, search engine optimization, CSS & XHTML coding, purchase of a domain name and 2 years of hosting with a green-powered hosting company. *Stock photo purchases not included.
Each project begins with a free consultation where I use a questionnaire to discuss your goals, ideas and requirements for the website. Afterwards, you will receive a proposal & quote. Once these are approved, 1 or 2 more meetings are required to determine the visual and stylistic direction of the website. During the project, your feedback is needed for layout mockups, questions and concerns sent via e-mail.
It is helpful to gather a handful of websites you admire and dislike which will help both you and the designer understand what your expectations and preferences are for the website. You will be required to provide the written content for each page of your website. Some clients choose to hire a Website Copywriter to help them with this task, and I am happy to recommend some for you.
Since each company may have different goals and requirements for their website, it is certainly possible you will need other elements added to your website. Each website package is a starting point. This is why a free consultation is offered so I can fully understand what your needs are, and so I can prepare an accurate quote for you.
Depending on the demands of your business, you might need to change details on your website monthly, weekly or even daily. Have a weekly sale? An event listing? Connecting your website to a Content Management System (CMS) will put the control in your hands. PC or Mac, it doesn’t matter. You can simply log-in from any computer with internet access. The best part of all, it’s designed for people of all computer abilities!
The CMS can be integrated within a new or existing website.

For websites larger than 8-10 pages, or with many unique features, a custom plan and custom set-up fee will be created. |
Through a Microsoft Word-like editor, you can edit and style text, paragraphs, add links, images, PDF documents, edit or create charts and tables. What you can’t do with the CMS is crop/manipulate photos or create graphics. You will have to use an outside image-editing program prior to bringing your photos/graphics into the CMS. For graphic design or to add more pages to your website, you will need the help of a designer.
A monthly fee is paid to the CMS company for using the CMS software, allowing you to edit your website. This fee is based on number of pages and features. You may choose to pay one yearly fee instead. Monthly payments or one yearly payment can be made by Visa, MasterCard or American Express. A one-time set-up fee paid to the designer covers the installation/set-up of your entire website within the CMS software.
Ever heard of the saying “A website is never done”? It’s true! To keep visitors returning, it’s essential to maintain your website with fresh, relevant content on a regular basis. No time for updates? Have a love/hate relationship with your computer? I’ve got you covered. On a monthly basis, I can provide you with the updates you need including text and image changes, additional pages, custom graphics and coding.
Provided there is enough availability, your deadline may be accepted but will be subject to a higher hourly rate.
Updates can be completed for almost any website. However, if your website was created using out-dated coding practices (simply because it is an older website) updates may not be possible.
