Web Design
 According
to the Pew Internet & American Life Project, fewer than one in seven
Americans were online in 1995.... Today, Pew says, two out of every three
Americans spend time online. --CNN.com, The
Internet Transforms Modern Life
This is the major reason every business should have at least a "Business
Card" Website, a simple site that gets their information out where
people can find it.
Isn't Web Design Expensive?
Web site design doesn't have to cost a huge amount of
money. A single page site with a few images and some textual content can
be designed for as little as $100, plus domain registration and hosting.
Please note that you do NOT have to host with us in order to have us do
your website design, but we
can provide this service for you if you need it. We are pleased to work with
the hosting service you already use, as long as they provide the services one
should reasonably expect of a web hosting company.
What about E-Commerce?
Larger sites like e-commerce sites cost more money because they require a great
deal more labor and knowledge, but they do not have to cost thousands of dollars.
We will estimate the cost of your website for you so you know what it will cost. And if you find
a professional designer who can do it for less, we will make every attempt to
meet their price.
I'm a start-up and I'm on a tight budget.
How can I keep my cost down?
The better prepared you are before we meet with you, the more you will be able
to keep your costs down. Click here for help in
planning you plan your site. Our current hourly rate is $65.00/hour, but
we do offer discounts to non-profits and first-time customers upon request. We
also offer specials from time to time. Because of our long experience we are
able to put sites together a lot faster than many designers, so the cost may
not be as much as you think.
I don't know much about the Web and creating
a website. Can you help?
We are here to help you in any way we can. It is an important part of our process
that our customers become comfortable dealing with the Internet and learn how
to cope well with it.
Designing your company's website should be an exciting and positive experience.
And it should do more than just look good. It should enhance your business, reflect
your company's mission and goals, and provide you and your customers with a user-friendly
method of contact and sales. Professional business web site
design can accomplish
these goals. Good planning is an essential part of the design process. Remember
that a website is available to your customers 24 hours, 7 days a week--it's working
for you even when your brick-and-mortar business is closed.
Each project we handle is carefully planned to offer not only visual appeal,
but also good "information architecture" that makes it easy to use
and navigate AND will work well with the search engines. It should load fast,
even at 28.8 connection speeds, so that your customers are not spending a lot
of time waiting. If new visitors have to wait more than a few seconds for your
website to load, you're going to lose them...and they won't be back.
What about search engines?
Once your site has been created, we help you optimize it for the search engines.
It is essential that you be involved in the process, as no one knows your business
better than you. If your time is too short we can handle this alone, but it's
always better when the client is involved in this process.
