Domain Name
www.yourdomainname.com
If you do not already own your domain name, you
can purchase it yourself or we can work with you and purchase
that for you in your name, so you own it, not us. We will need
your credit card information for this. Your investment is about
$10 or less per year and you can save a little by purchasing
your domain name for 5 to 10 years, which is recommended. We
charge a small fee for providing this service. It is advised
that a domain name be purchased for a minimum of three years to
increase the odds and shorten the time in which your website
will be picked up by the various search engines and web crawlers.

Website Design
We charge a low per hour price to develop and maintain a website. After
a free consultation, we can provide you with a basic quote.
The cost depends entirely on the complexity of each page and
the time it takes to develop that page.* As needs are individual
and fees change, please contact us for a quote. Generally,
the more pages we create for you, the less will be the per
page price. Photos (beyond the six allowed in our definition
below) and special additions to each page like videos, slideshows,
photo galleries (20 per page), forms, etc., may require extra
time to implement and special handling to make each page efficient
to open and again are dealt with individually and may cost
a little more. Signing a simple contract or agreeing to have
us design a website in an email for a specified price per hour
and a non-refundable deposit of $500 is necessary to begin
the work on your website.
*We define a page for the per page pricing or as agreed to in writing
to be approximately 800 x 600 pixels and includes the overall
design, the implementation, the link bars for easy navigation,
the header which would include your logo (logo graphic design
or header graphic art is an extra charge), a reasonable amount
of content, the footer which includes your copyright information,
including your text in the body of the page, and up to six
photos (this includes your logo as one image/photo).

Website Hosting
Hosting your website can be as minimal as $4.95 per month and depends
upon the amount of space you need on the web server for your
website and e-mails. This is payable each year for the whole
year. Even if you do not need our design services, we can host
your site on our web server. Unlimited emails and forwarding is part of
this service.
Note: When we design and host your website, you are agreeing
to our including a small, unobtrusive link to our website at the bottom
of your copyright information. And we will include a link to your website
from our website. Including links to each other's website is actually very
beneficial to both parties as this is one thing web crawlers and search
engines look for when deciding to list a website.

Website Optimization
Also, as part of our website design service, each page will have its own
title, description and keywords to further enhance your website
postings on the Internet.

Website URL Submissions to
50 Search Engines
As part of our website design, when your website is complete and approved
by you and posted to your domain, we will submit your website
URL to about 50 of the top search engines so your new website
will be easily found. No extra charge for this service.

E Commerce
E-commerce can be set up on your website including a photo of each item.
The purchase buttons and choices are on your website with the actual purchase
being made on the PayPal site (Note: an account at PayPal will have to
be setup if you do not already have that.) After the purchase, your customer
is returned to your website. With PayPal, the purchase is secure and your
customer may use almost any method to purchase your items. You receive
an e-mail from PayPal detailing the sale. Also you are charged fees by
PayPal only when a purchase is made and these are comparable to normal
merchant credit card fees.

Maintenance
Once we complete work on your website, we will make corrections free for the first 30 days. Then, we will be happy to do maintenance (make changes) and add updates to your website for $60/hour. Most updates can easily be made by e-mailing us your information or photos for placement on your website and we will try to make your requested changes within 24 hours of receipt and during regular business hours and days.

Custom Favicon Design
Custom favicon design and posting is part of our service to you when we
design your website. What is a favicon you ask? From Wikipedia,
"A favicon (short for 'favorites icon'), also known as a website
icon, page icon or urlicon, is an icon associated with a particular
website or webpage. A web designer can create such icons in
several ways and many recent web browsers can then make use
of them. Browsers that support them may display them in the
browser's URL bar, next to the site's name in lists of bookmarks,
and next to the page's title in a tabbed document interface.
Some operating systems, like Windows, will also often use the favicon
for Internet shortcuts to sites placed on the desktop or in
other directories."
