The cost of web design depends
on the amount of time and effort required to breath
life into a site. If you know what you want to say,
have your text edited, have pre-existing images,
the process is cheaper than if you only have a general
idea, no images, and you need someone to create
the copy.

An original design for a 10 page
site is about $85 a page. That includes page layout,
menu installation, keyword /description metas, 1
photo per page (editing/scans), pre-publish testing
and adjustments, and 3 months of maintenance. This
assumes you have the text in a word-editor and have
photos/images available.
If you require custom
work, logos, flash development/flash template
customizing, ecommerce development, OCR transcription,
submission to search engines, quizzes, surveys,
animation, or brochures, the price depends on the
complexity of the work. You will be quoted a fee
based on the estimated time and materials needed
to get the job done. Flash templates customizing
depends on how much the template has to be edited
to fit your content. Please provide specific details.
The cost of your domain
name and Internet Service Provider (ISP) are separate from the design, and depend on the
provider. They can be as low as $72 a year for shared
hosting, or much more if you require databases,
streaming video/audio, or large bandwidth.
E-commerce requires an
account with a secure-socket cart, and
either a standard merchant account, or an online
merchant gateway account. The monthly cost of these
accounts is separate from our charges. It is possible
to set up web page links to a Paypal account, but
since that requires your customer to set-up a Paypal
account, it is not as effective. Average costs for
customizing an e-commerce cart range about $70 per
hour, less if we are familiar with the system.
If you need something
outside our range of expertise, we have
a wide range of colleagues who can provide services
more specialized than our own. They set their own
prices, and bill separately.
If you wish to learn to
edit your own pages, and are local, we
can help you learn.
In the interests of working with
interesting material, we reserve the right to decline
certain types of sites. We require that sites we
work with that offer medical, financial, or other
professional services have the appropriate licenses
and expertise to practice those services.
Non-profits may be eligible for
reduced prices. Please inquire with specifics.
