Q: How much does a web site cost A:
Because each web site is unique, we do not have a flat fee.
It depends on the complexity of the web site you need.
We all know that in the professional world, first impressions matter. site will enhance your professional credibility... it's that This is especially true on the World Wide Web, where many of your visitors may never meet you in person.

Before we can give you an accurate assessment of the required work and costs we need the answers to several questions. The following are just a few things to think about. Do you want a "shopping cart" set up? Secure on-line ordering? An on-line database? On-line check writing and verification? An internal search engine? Original art work and graphics? Animations? A feedback form? Links to other sites? Registration with search engines? Which search engines and how many? The format we receive your input in will also directly affect the costs. Sending text or images via e-mail or a floppy disk is much less costly than having them scanned or retyped. We charge by the hour for all services we provide.

with any technical issues questions you may have regarding your website.
Q: How much does my initial consultation cost A:
Your initial consultation with us is always free.
Q: What are the costs I need to consider A:
There are basically five cost elements to consider in owning and operating a web site.
First, you'll need to register your URL, more commonly referred to as your web address. This will cost you $70-100 for the first two years.
The second cost you need to consider is the cost to design and build your web site. The price you pay will depend on the size and complexity of your site as well as which web site developer you choose. Our design process allows us to design and build your site with the look you want and the features you need.
Paying for the hosting of your site is the next cost you need to consider. Every site must have a host that connects it to the internet. The hosting fee is dependent on the features and size of your site.
Paying for the updating and maintenance of the content on your site is the last cost you need to consider.
Q: What kinds of future costs are involved in the maintenance of my web site A:
Everyone needs Site Maintenance We've all seen sites on the internet where graphics don't display, links that are broken, text that is out of alignment, sites that haven't been updated in eons.....sites that are just simply in a general state of neglect. By purchasing site maintenance and update services you can rest assured that your site is updated regularly, links stay in good working order and that your site is resubmitted periodically to the various search engines to assure that your site stays "on top of the pile" of search results.
Site maintenance is priced according to how much work is involved.
For instance, adding new web graphics to a web site involves color correction, cropping and compression optimizing for web site speed including deleting old documents from the web server and keeping a clean and efficient system just like your own office or home. Other considerations include the promotion of the web site and how difficult it is to get high ranking listings on the search engines for your specific keywords. If you are in a competitive field of most searched keywords then you can expect higher web site costs associated with your site. All web sites must be resubmitted to the search engines every 3 months to ensure placement and not getting "mysteriously" dropped.
