Web Site Design & Redesign

We offer a variety of approaches and price ranges for building web sites from scratch and redesigning existing sites. Depending on your budget and the level of service and customization you need, you can choose from:

Custom Web Design (not accepting new web site design projects at this time)

We help you every step of the way beginning with a complete Requirements Analysis. First, we'll survey your business goals, web site needs, target audience, ecommerce needs, budget and any custom programming or other technical requirements you might have. Then we'll research methods and options for best addressing those needs and make our recommendations accordingly in a formal report and estimate. This Requirements Analysis becomes the blueprint for designing, building and launching your web site.

We'll work up one or more designs for your review and approval. We'll acquire, and/or create any pictures you need, edit your content if you so desire, and otherwise involve and assist you. We'll, of course, do all of the coding and programming and handle all of the technical details necessary to build and launch your web site. Once it's launched, we'll submit your web site to the top search engines. After you're listed, we can follow up with you about further search engine optimization.

 

Web Site Redesign (not accepting new web site redesign projects at this time)

If you're happpy with the overall look of your current web site, but need to make it more usable, accessible, search engine friendly, or want to solve some other problem or freshen it up, we can do that, too.

Content Updates & Changes

It's a given that you're going to want to update your web site content periodically. Unlike most other web designers who charge per change, we charge for the time we actually spend implementing your requested changes. If it only takes us fifteen minutes, we bill you for fifteen minutes. At only $45/hour, it won't break your bank account to keep your web site content fresh and up-to-date. We do have a fifteen minute minimum that we'll bill for, but that could be accumulated 5 minutes at a time.

If you need to make daily changes to your web site or prefer to make changes yourself, let us know and we can discuss how to best accommodate that given your own computer experience and available tools.

Web Hosting & Domain Name Setup, Transfer & Troubleshooting

While we do not provide web hosting ourselves, we can assist you with:

• Acquiring a web hosting service
• Registering a domain name
• Transferring your domain name
• Updating contact information for your domain name
• Changing web hosts
• Moving your web site to a new server
