Do I need a web site?
A web site can reach millions of people that might not be aware of your business. On your web site, customers can view your products or services from the comfort of their own home.
Does it matter what a web site looks like as long as it works?
When you receive a visitor to your site, the site will instantly make an impression of your business. A web site visitor will be interested and explore your site if it is appealing and easy to navigate. You are marketing yourself and your business to the world over the Internet and it is important to show your best.

I want a web site. What steps do I need to take?
I can help you with these important steps:
Step One: Domain Name (URL) Registration: This is the address people will use to access your Web site (www.yourcompany.com). Once you have determined that the URL you wish to use is available, the cost to register a name is anywhere from $8.00 to $35.00 per year. A domain name needs to be renewed every year.
Step Two: Design of the Web Site: This is where the look, feel, and content of the Web site are determined and created.
Step Three: Hosting Your Web Site on a Web Server: This is where you rent space on a computer that is always connected to the Internet. Price will vary, depending on the amount of disk space you need to rent.
Step Four: Marketing Your Web Site: There are steps we can take to help your web site show up in search engine search results. The cost varies from very little, to things like "paid placement" such as pay-per-click or adwords campaigns.

How much will it cost to build my web site?
Cost is dependant on a number of factors, including how many pages you need and what type of features you want.
I have done web sites for as little as $200, and as much as $20,000 dollars. It is necessary to determine your needs before giving you a price. You may need 3 pages on your site, or 300 pages. You may want Flash animation, a shopping cart, streaming video or other "special content".
All of these things effect the price, and you should be highly suspect of any developer that gives you a price without going over the options with you.
After a no-cost discussion of your web site needs, I will then be able to provide you with a free quote. I never charge to discuss your project and will give an cost estimate in writing.
Can you update my web site for me?
Yes. Cost varies depending on what type of updates you require. Contact me for more details.
