Affordable Professional Web Designs! 

My fees include design, prototyping, and final installation on your server. The fee schedule is based on the total number of pages agreed upon at initial contract signing. 

A deposit is required at the beginning of each project. The remainder of the balance, however, is not due until all work is finished and you are completely satisfied with the results. Final payment is expected at that time. All materials and information for your site should be provided to me within 10 business days of acceptance of the project. Once work has been completed, if there are any changes to be made, extra charges will apply. See Maintenance section below.

Fees (for standard HTML pages):
 

1 - 2 Pages	$200
3 - 5 Pages	$350
6 - 10 Pages	$675
11 - 15 Pages	$950

Text
Supplied by client on diskette. Limited to 200 words per Web page if not supplied on diskette. Web pages containing over 1,200 words may be subject to additional design fees, especially if they require a great deal of formatting.

Please note: Services do not include editing client text. Please supply it in the final form you want displayed on the Web.

Standard Graphics
Includes a custom-designed masthead incorporating any combination of your company logo, line, bullet, or  background.

Static Data Display

Photos and Custom Graphics
Standard fees include up to an average of four photos or graphics (other than the ones covered above) per Web page, client-supplied or client-selected from commercially available photo archives and clip art services. Client pays all license fees for photos or graphic images purchased for them.

Links
Standard fees include an e-mail response link and up to 12 additional internal or external links per page.

Submission/Uploading/File Availability
Standard fees include:

• Submission to 5 major search engines.
• Upload Web site to Host server.
• If desired, one FTP downloadable folder placed on your server containing all your Web page files.

(A file folder of your Web pages can also be provided on CD-ROM for an additional $10.00 fee.)

Additional Photos/Custom Graphics
Placement of more than four photos/graphics per page average is $15 per picture. Additional customization of purchased graphics is billed at $30 per hour; estimate furnished and agreed to in advance.

Thumbnail/Large Photo Pairs
A "clickable" thumbnail photo loads a larger screen-size photo: $25 per pair if larger photo is placed on its own Web page; $15 per pair if larger photo is not on a Web page.

Response or E-mail Order Forms*
Uses FrontPage form with up to twenty fields. Additional fields $2 each.

1 - 5 pages  -- Not included; form is an additional $100.

6 pages and up  -- One form included in price; additional forms $60 plus any additional pages needed.

Site Maintenance

Fees include up to one hour per Web page for maintenance and updates (for example, new graphics, text or links) during the first six months of the contract at no additional charge. Extra maintenance is charged at my standard consulting rate of $30 per hour.

I offer service agreements at extremely reasonable maintenance rates for additional periods.
 

Hosting

Prices do not include ongoing ISP (Internet Service Provider) or Web Hosting fees. Upon request, I will, for a $20 fee, open the site for you with my preferred Web host, Netfirms Web Hosting, who specializes in business Web hosting and provides good prices and excellent service. Expect to pay them a hosting fee of $0, $5, $10, or $15 monthly, depending upon the nature of your organization and your site's particular requirements. Visit the Netfirms website for complete details of their services and hosting terms.
 

Domain Registration

There are many services available to register your domain. I use Dotster.com--they charge $14.95 per year, and their Account Manager interface uses an ID/password structure to manage your domain, which is much easier than the typical mail-form or PSP methods. If you prefer to have me handle the registration details for you, I will do that for a $20 service fee. Visit the Dotster website for full domain name registration details.

• First, decide on a domain name, such as www.yourname.com, and check to make sure it is available on the Internet.
• View other sites to help you decide on the general appearance you want.
• You will need an ISP (Internet Service Provider), a Web Host for your site, a Domain Name Registrar, a Web Designer to create and load your site onto your Web Host's server, and someone to maintain the site if there will be periodic changes.
• Write/diagram/outline for your designer all of the information (including text, graphics, and links) you want displayed on your web page.
• The time it takes to load a web page on the Internet is very important to visitors. Keep in mind that the more graphics displayed on a page the longer it takes to load/see it. 
• Size of graphics is also important. Larger image files take longer to display. Small files load faster and help to insure compatibility with and proper display on a wide variety of Internet user hardware and software systems. 
• When choosing images to include in your web pages, be sure they belong to you, are royalty-free, or you have permission from the copyright holder to use them.
• To insure that your pages are easy to read and understand and display properly on multiple user systems, stick with simple background colors.
