Many people, especially in this economy, are using their skills and talents to start their own small companies. They are looking for a fast, economical, yet professional website. That is what I specialize in. You do not have to be technical. I will take you through the process from start to finish and can do everything for you. Cost: The cost depends on what functionality you want. I will discuss with you what you need, at no charge, and give you a fixed cost that I will charge to complete your site. Fill out and submit my website checklist and I can get you a bid quickly. For most sites, my cost is about $500. Here are some additional costs that you may need to consider: Domain name - about $10/year Hosting - for most site needs, about $4.50/month Email marketing (signup form, database management, email newsletter) - depends on the size of your contact list; for up to 1000 contacts, about $30/month Logo design and creation - I can provide this for you at an additional charge - usually about $150. Ongoing maintenance - If we use a content management system such as WordPress to create your site, you can make your own changes easily. Or, I can make ongoing changes to your site for $30/hour, with a 1/2 hour minimum. Most text changes take just a few minutes, so it will make sense to accumulate change requests and do them periodically. All invoices of work done on an hourly basis will be accompanied by timesheets, and a detailed list of work performed. Discounted rate is given to non-profit organizations.
