Website Design and Development Services

Anyone who owns or plans start a business should consider having a web site designed. The main benefit to starting your own web site are that your web site will be open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Your web site can serve as a representative that answers questions about your business, offer customer service even when your business is closed at night and on weekends and holidays and to sell your products and services.

A web site is a very powerful marketing and advertising tool and a great way to expand your business into other areas.

I create unique web sites which help you reach the goals that you have for creating an online presence - whether it is for a business web site or for personal use.

I specializes in unique, quality professional web site design for businesses and individuals. I have over 8 years of diverse computing experience most of which I spent on my own personal Web Site Development.

I strives to create professional web site designs that will effectively promote your products or services to your target audience and generate sales for your bottom line. One of our goals is to make your web experience pleasant, easy, affordable, and enjoyable.

I can code custom scripts if your site requires any dynamic content. Examples would be things like shopping carts, feedback forms, custom datasheets that constantly update, or simple scripts such as putting random article links at the bottom of each article. Or even something like the client area of this site.

To see what we can do for your website project...

The following outlines our process for getting your business out on the web.

1. Initial Consultation:
   I will sit together with you to determine what your needs are and provide a quote. I do not charge for initial consultation.
2. Build your website:
   I will build your website and try to get together with you on a weekly basis to give you updates on the current progress of your site. also to get input from you for any ideas and suggestions you may have for improvements. You will be able to view your site at any point in development from any computer with internet access.
3. Domain and Hosting Setup:
   I will set up your domain name and hosting. I will set you up on our Shared Hosting plan. First year's hosting fee will be included in all website design quotes. If you do not have a domain name registered, we can register a domain name for you. Domain name registration for most .com, .net, .org, .info, .biz domains is $10.19/year. Other top level domains have fees that vary. Domain name registration fees will be included in your quote if applicable.
4. Search Engine Optimization:
   I will submit your site to all the major search engines and optimize your site for best possible rankings on the search engines. Please keep in mind it does take some time for the search engines to rank and list your site.
5. Online Advertising:
   At your request, I can set up your site for advertising on Google's AdWord(tm) program for targeted keyword and/or geographic advertising. Then I will show you how to use the AdWord(tm) program to get the best benefits of this advertising program.
6. Custom Visual Basic Software Programming:
   At your request, I can build an actual program that can be run on your computer to interface with your website, such as a program to update dynamic content. Custom Visual Basic software is somewhat time consuming, so I will go over any custom software options you will have for your site and you can decide if you need it or if you want a web based or email based interface instead.
7. Site Hosting:
   After your site is built I will set up a hosting plan with you for your site. Most sites only need a Shared Hosting plan. First year's hosting is included with all website design quotes. I will let you know if your site requires any other type of hosting and advise you of fees etc.
8. Site Updates:
   After your site is built and deployed, I will setup a site update plan with you. My normal hourly rate is $45 per hour however, I do offer a discount rate for monthly contracts for as little as $35 per hour. These hours can accumulate when unused and will remain on your account for up to 1 year. I will discuss any monthly contract options with you during the initial consultation.
