Web Design and Consulting
What is Web Design? It is the process of designing a set of connected web pages (via hyperlinks).
What to look for... You want a presence online, that is a given. But you want it to look professional, with a consistent look throught the site. Remember, the site is representing your business to online customers. You want easy-to-use navigation. You don't want want to have to make the user "think" too much, or he/she may very well click onto some other, easier to use site.
Websites are the cheapest form of advertising and are available 24/7 to the whole world. Once your site is designed, you pay only renewal fees for domain registration and hosting. This is a nominal annual fee, usually around $125. Much cheaper than the newspaper, magazines, or TV.
Of course, if you make changes to your pages, that would be an additional fee, payable at an hourly rate. To make a small text change, such as address or phone, it would take less than 1/2 hour. To add a new page, time spent could range from 1 to 3 hours on average. This does not include database or PHP custom programming. That takes considerably longer. Pricing details will be discussed after our first consultation (which is free).
