MANY VISITORS & COMPLIMENTS

"When we began putting the website together I had no idea that it would turn out so great, let alone the response we would get!"

We produce two different types of websites: "Custom Designed" & "Pre-Designed".

With a "Custom Designed" Website, we create a custom site just for you based on your business's colors, logo, services and/or products offered. "Custom Designed" websites are only $55/hour to produce.

For "Custom Designed" samples, click here.

With a "Pre-Designed" Website, you choose the style from our list of more than 150 designs, then we insert your text and photos. "Pre-Designed" websites range from $50 for a 1-page to $200 for an up to 10-page website.

For "Pre-Designed" samples, click here.

Whether building a new website or adding to an existing website, you can always add other Options and Extras.

(*) Updates can easily vary from 1 hour to many, depending on the needed changes.

For example, we have a client that will email updates to us several times each month. One such update consisted of 360 words of new text, 18 new photos (all of which required color correction, resizing, focusing, and streamlining for web), and 3 new web pages. The total time required for this particular update was 2 hours.

Ready to order? It is as easy as 1, 2, 3:

#1  Select the photo(s) and text that you wish to include in your site.

If scanning your own photos, use 72 - 100 dpi resolution.  Next, type the text that will be included in your site.  Also, tell us what "Hyper Links" you want (links to other pages within your site or to other web sites elsewhere on the Internet).

#2  Sketch how you would like your website to look.

Don't worry about the quality of your sketch - this step is just to give us an idea where to place all the pieces.  Another option is to give us a few website links where you found style elements that you'd like incorporated into your website.

#3  E-mail or mail your materials to us for review.

We will require a 50% downpayment prior to beginning your site -- US funds only.  For a "Custom Designed" Website, please refer to our pricing formula (below) to calculate a "rough" cost for creating your site.

Between the design & coding time involved to create a website, we have found the following formula for estimation to be fairly* accurate:

(#) Number of photos or graphics:	__________
(#) Number of text paragraphs:	__________
(+) Add these figures together:	__________
(x) Multiply the total by $9.17:	__________

(*) Please Note: If you are able to provide your materials
to us electronically, the above estimation total is likely to
be higher than the actual cost for which we'll invoice.

This dollar amount will serve as an estimation of costs.  Please, keep in mind that various issues can increase, or reduce costs.  For example, if images require resizing or "streamlining" for web usage or the text requires numerous formatting elements, then the cost might be higher.  However, if your materials are provided electronically and do not require such streamlining or formatting, then the costs might be significantly less.

Unlike many web designers offering "package" pricing, we charge a simple hourly rate of $55/hr. If your project requires just an hour, that's all you pay ... you are never forced to buy a "package."

As with any package price, padding is always added to cover the unknown.  If there are no surprises, then more is earned, literally, at the client's expense.  If there is a surprise, or two, in excess of this padding, then the company will typically revert to their standard hourly rate of $100+ per hour ... this doesn't help the client and, again, is at the client's expense.
