Rate Structure
No two websites are the same. We make sure your website is as unique as you are and strive to bring a personalityand clean design to every project we do.
We offer many sales and special offers to help out tight budgets.When the economy is slow it's even more important you continue to advertise - and updating and maintaining your website is the most economical way to advertise available!!
These rates are to give you an estimate of what it may cost to create a website. Our hourly rate is $85/hr for XHTML/CSS coding, database/programming/scripting and graphic design work. Ifprogramming is extensive, complex or requires custom work, it's more.
We have no minimum, however, it's unlikely you will get anything more thana very basic business site for less than $900.What you can typically get for this amount is:
- An in-depth site need analysis obtained though aphone or email interview with you
- the planning and organization of the site structure
- custom design development
- navigation
- style sheets
- One design concept that can be modified with your input
- as many pages as can be done with remaining hours of the initial $900 (usually 4-6)
This price is meant to give you an idea of what the minimum charge will be for a web site. We work hourly only, except for a few fixed-rate packages here. If after starting the site, you decide to make changes to your initial plans, that is no problem, but the amountcharged will reflect those changes. We try very hard to stay with our intial estimate when you stay within yours.
Shopping cart setup, static or database driven web sites: These features may vary widely depending on your exact needs, cart selected, hosting features, number of products, complexity of products, complexity of credit card processing, and many many other factors. A typical e-commerce site tends to start at about $1800. There are less expensive options and we'd be happy to talk to you about these.
Pages that allow you to update text and photos/images from your web browser: $100 - $1,200 depending upon the type ofchanges you'll want to be able to do and the complexity of the site design. A one page site, for example, with atext editor would be approx. $450-500.
We are distributors for Word Press Blogs as well as others. A typical Word Press Blog site with modules is approximately 5-6 hours of work at our standard rate, with you adding all content. If you want a stand-alone site include additional for hosting and set up on the server. If we add your content, adjust accordingly.
Search Engine Optimizing We have several SEO plans to get you high in the search engine rankings.SEO is very time consuming and you'll see little gain at first, but over time your persistence will pay off. We provide very basic optimizing with all sites, however to reach your potential it's necessary to do more detailed optimization, submissions and analytics. We do SEO for all websites whether we designed them or not. Our rates are quite reasonable at $85/hr. and do require at least a one year subscription of 2or more hours a month to see adequate results. Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither are natural search rankings.
Flash Elements for the page are a nice feature to add to any site. We can do entire Flash websites, or just add Flash banners or Flash movies.
Video or Interactive Media including Radio Advertising and Webcams We can do any interactive media you desire, including the set up of web cam pages on your site.True streaming media will require special hosting apart from your typical web site hostingand is considerably more expensive. Regularly updatedmedia (updates every minute for example) or downloaded video may be able to be hosted on your regular hosting if enough bandwidth is available. Please contact uswith what you have in mind.
If you have no logo, we can create one for you. We provide a free web logo with every custom websiteif desired. If you would like a logo that will also work in your printed advertising, we can do that too at additional cost.
Please note: We do not do spec work (building a site to see if you like it before you pay), nor do we build websites for a "cut of the profits". We don't give discounts because you are going to send us all your friends or build another website in the future. We do have a referral plan if you are interested.
Many add-ons require that your web hosting plan have specific database types or scripting languages such as PHP or ASP. We prefer to choose the hosting that will work best for your ecommerce or database enabled website to make sure everything works properly when complete.
All work is done with a contract, 60% of the estimate is required up front for sites over $1,000 and 100% of the estimated amount for sites under $1,000. Any remainder is billed monthly as work progresses. So that we can plan our work schedule, we ask that you please submit your content promptly when requested.Two months without requested content and there is a monthy continuation fee to keep the account active.
We can do maintenance of your site after launch, we require a $200 retainer and work off of that at our hourly maintenance rate of $85/hr. We also have discounted plans if you need someone to take over your current site maintenance. We'd be happy to work with you.

Development will progress at a pace you feel comfortable with. We want your input and include you in the site development process so that it becomes your very own. There are mainly two phases to creating your site. The design phase where we create the design and it's unique look and feel, and the development phase where we configure the software and code in the content.
