Web Site Services

I am not currently accepting new clients – any more than what I have now will over-load me.  Please check back later.

Are you planning a web site project? Do you need help with your existing web site or blog? No project is too big or small, and I have the experience required to make your project a success.  Please contact me today to schedule a conference call to discuss your project.

Web Development Services

The following packages are designed to help businesses and individuals get up and running in a short amount of time with minimal impact to your bottom line.

1. 5 Page Web Site – $300A great way to get started. This is a custom web site with 5 pages that will be custom made to fit your needs. The site will be built assuming future growth, so as you or your business needs change, the site can also change and grow as well.  Normally, these sites take a few days and can be up and running within a week.
2. Additional Pages – $35If your project requires more than 5 pages, don’t worry.  Each additional page is affordable and priced to meet most needs.
3. Themes and Branding – Quotable*If your needs are not satisfied by the large selection of free themes that are available, custom themes and branding can be built to suit your needs.
4. Custom Web Site – Quotable*If the 5 page web site isn’t enough to accommodate your needs, or you need special functionality built to accomplish your goals, I will discuss the project with you to determine what needs to be done and supply a quote based on our discussions.

* Because developing a quote takes a bit of time, there will be a $25 deposit to develop the quote. Should you choose to move forward with your project, the $25 fee will be applied to the cost of the project. The quote fee is non-refundable.

Other Web Services

I wear many technology hats, here are some of the other services I can provide to you or your business:

• Web Hosting with DreamHost – I offer extended services when you host with DreamHost.

Rates

My rate is $60 per hour and is billed in 15 minute increments. This means a 15 minute job will only cost you $15. If the task takes less than 15 minutes, the charge will be $1 per minute.

I always provide an estimate, and we will be in constant communication so there are no surprises.

I don’t bother billing if the task only takes a few minutes. If that is the case, then we can also work out an acceptable alternative such as giving me a shout out to your friends and network associates or by providing a link to my site from one of your own web sites.

Added Value Development

I always hear the horror stories of a web site that someone built for someone that they paid through the nose for, only to find later that several critical factors were overlooked or completely ignored.  You won’t get that when you hire me.  I’ve been around the block and can see well into the future of your web site and know what you’re going to want a year  or two from now.  I build every site with the future in mind.  What does that mean?  It means:

• All sites are built to allow the customer to perform their own updates. You will not have to hire another developer or myself to perform page updates for simple text changes.  Every page is editable, and with a little training, anyone can do their own updates.
• All sites are SEO optimized to help the site rank better in search engines, which in turn helps you increase traffic.  I do this by default.
• All sites are submitted to search engines if you want it. Your site can be submitted to Google, Yahoo, Bing and Ask free of charge and as part of the hand over process.
• Training. I will help you become familiar with normal operating procedures as part of the hand over process if there are any.  I am also a phone call away, so you won’t ever be without my support.
• Trustworthy Web Development. I routinely need access to systems that are protected by a username or password.  Unless you are able to do whatever needs to be done behind these credentials, don’t be alarmed if I ask for a username and password.  It’s part of my job, and I have worked with a high level of trust across many, many clients.

Thank you for the consideration
