Web Design

Your website should reflect your personality!

 

 

  

Laurie’s signature color is red and her website suits her perfectly!

 

 

 

 

How will you be using your site?

 

The answer will help us decide how your website should navigate, customers and SEO need to be considered. (Search Engine Optimization)

People should find what they are looking for in two clicks or less.

George likes to be on the phone with his customers and together they look at different things on his website.  It has been an invaluable marketing tool.

If you want to be able to sell your products online, PayPal is straightforward, easy to use and a safe way to go.

 

Who will be using your site?

 

 

 The viewer’s age and gender can heavily influence
a site’s design.

 We wanted Shasta’s site to have a fun, energetic
vibe for dogs and people!

  

 

 

What’s the competition up to?

It’s always a good idea to check out who’s at the top of the search engine pages and see what their sites look like.

-Photos  unless you would like to hire me to take them.

-Copy  descriptions of your product and your business.

-Dot com and hosting service.

My recommendation for a single dot com and hosting service combined is
Domain Registry of America - $30-$40 yearly

Blue Host is excellent if you want to host as many dot com as you wish - $80 yearly.

 

Every job is different, if all you need is one page like
Valley Valet, Inc

with a contact page and some info about your business,
that’s $100 plus $40 for dot com and hosting for one year. 

 

 

 

 

My lowest price  for a basic brochure site with 20 images is $350 but you should probably budget to spend $500 if you are starting from scratch because dot com and hosting are extra and it seems people always end up wanting more than just a brochure site.

After consulting with you, deciding on type of website you need, I will require $250 to start.

I can take pictures, scan products such as jewelry and write copy, again this adds to the cost.

Adding a shopping cart is easy with PayPal.

It’s a good idea to include a blog if you would like to build an email list for making announcements and product updates. You can start a blog with your Google account for free and I can customize it to look like it’s a part of your web site, this way you have control of updating your site.

 

Need a website but can’t afford to hire me?

Go to www.blogger.com and start a blog- all for free!

You just follow the instructions and you’re in business.

Some of my favorite artist’s use blogger to promote their work.

Their sites are simple but so effective!
