Our Website Design & Development = FREE!

I want to make it very simple for small businesses to have a web presence that is worthwhile and profitable. So I do business a little differently than the average Web Development Company. I will design AND develop your business website for FREE!

I know you're wondering how and why I create my quality, professional websites (see samples) for free. Plain and Simple — I want to do business with you and I want to help as many small business owners as I possibly can. I've talked to many business owners over the years who simply can't afford the expense of a web designer so they either go without a custom website or they hire the neighbor kid or one of their employees to set something up. You know what they get, don't you? Let's just say, it's usually not very professional looking and they are afraid to promote it and use it. I have the expertise, knowledge, and experience and I like to use it to help my fellow small business owner.

These are NOT cookie-cutter, one-size fits all sites. These are NOT made from templates. These are NOT made with Wordpress and some theme that hundreds of others are also using. No - every site I make is custom designed with my client's personal input about their business.

Our Website Fees — Plain and Simple!

I only charge a simple, one-time setup fee of $295.00* which includes my initial consultation with you. We need to talk about your business so I can get a feel for you and what your business is all about and so I can understand what messages you would like your website to convey to your customers or clients.

The one-time setup fee also includes domain registration or transfer, site hosting, and everything needed to get the site up and running and live on the Web. Some web developers make the client do all those things. I understand you have much better things to do with your time than figure out which hosting package best suits your business; you have a business to run.

Then I charge a simple, monthly fee of only $95 which includes many of the items you see listed above that other companies charge for separately, including a Google Places listing and maintenance (very important for any brick & mortar shop). The same things that some business owners have paid, and continue to pay thousands of dollars for, I include in my low monthly fee.

Included in the Monthly Fee

»» Search Engine Optimization & Analysis
»» Website Maintenance (1 hour/month)
»» Google Places Listing Created & Managed
»» Website Statistics, Reporting & Analysis
»» Ongoing Assistance with Website Marketing to Increase Traffic to Your Site

It can't get much easier than that! If materials (your logo, images, photos, text) are provided to me in a timely manner, I will even guarantee a completed website within 2 weeks of our initial consultation.

So let's get started today . .

If you are ready to get moving on that new web presence to give your business the added boost it needs in these difficult times, contact me and let's get started!

There are no long-term contracts to sign. If you no longer wish to continue your website, you simply cancel your next monthly payment. Again - PLAIN & SIMPLE.

*Prices are for standard websites of up to 12 pages. Sites requiring database connections are not included in the above pricing. Sites needing a database connection include blogs, e-commerce catalogs, input/dispaly forms, and content management systems. Those fees are only slightly higher so don't be afraid to talk to me about your specific needs.
