Entry
|
The Entry level website is based on a basic website template that I already have on
file and all content is provided by you. Even businesses can choose this option. This is a
GREAT first step into online marketing.
Payment must be made in full in advance. No fees are refunded if the project is
canceled. Why no refund...?

Business
|
The Business level website may be based on a template or a full custom website (if
not too complicated and as I see fit) but offers enhanced graphic design and layout changes to fit
each specific business along with assistance setting up an e-mailing list. The emailing list
service I use costs $20 per month. You would provide all the website content. As an additional
added bonus I provide copywriting assistance by rewriting your original content for optimal
readability and salesmanship.
A down-payment of 50% in advance is required to begin the project with the balance
paid within 30 days. No fees are refunded if the project is canceled. Why no
refund...?

Custom
|
The Custom website is suppose to be "fully customizable" - though I do not add
flash nor do I suggest using it for various reasons. I design a fully custom website for your
business or organization, set up the e-mailing list or include links to your existing
e-mailing list, assist with rewriting your copy, add a forum or blog, and offer a complete
SEO upgrade on your website.

Fixed Prices
I operate on what's called a Fixed
Price Agreement (FPA). Each project is quoted one fixed price. There are never any hidden fees.
Although the fees above are starting prices and I don't bicker about how many pages are in the
website. It's easy to add pages to a website. It's hard to come up with the design. Once you have the basic
design it's easy to add additional page content. People who charge you a "per page" fee are generally
just trying to squeeze you for money. This is why I don't charge a per page fee and stick with fixed
prices.
Some additional fees may apply in rare situations, like if the website is over 15 pages or includes an online
store. These sorts of things require extensively more work. Such circumstances are rare and don't apply
to most businesses. Adding an individual html page may be easy, but adding the content, formatting it
properly, and including basic SEO techniques all require time.
Website Hosting
If you want me to host your website I currently offer website hosting to my clients at $5 per month on a 1
year contract basis ($60 per year, payment in advance required, no refunds). If you host your website
elsewhere you can expect to pay roughly $10 per month.
Autoresponder / Name grab forms
I highly encourage using an autoresponder service to keep your email marketing campaigns organized. I
offer autoresponder management and weekly broadcast messages for $100 per month (some restrictions apply). If you
sign up for a basic autoresponder service the fees are approximately $20 per month (for up to 500
subscribers) with you managing the account, creating the lists, and generating the html code.
Quarterly Website Analysis
Every 3 months it's highly recommended you revisit your website
traffic statistics and analyze your efforts to enhance your website visitors experience. A website should be
making you money - not costing you money. I offer to all my clients a 3 month review of their website. We sit
down and discuss your website traffic statistics to help you understand what your website
visitors are looking for. With proper marketing we can This service is $250 per quarter.
SEO Upgrade
I offer a complete
SEO upgrade to any website for $500. This includes key word research to find out what people are searching for
online and key word placement on your website which includes: keyword density, page names, meta tags, page
descriptions, image descriptions, and H tags. Payment must be made in full in advance. No fees are
refunded if the project is canceled.
Why don't I refund fees for canceled
projects?
For 2 reasons: (1) Because I offer a full consultation up front. If you decide to go
ahead with a project, I expect you to keep the agreement. (2) Chances are I've put a lot of consulting, research,
and work into the project by this time. Any down payment is forfeited by you to help compensate me for my
time and expenses.

Website fees depend on what exactly you are
looking for. As a general rule of thumb, prices start around $500 for a basic website,
though I recommend anticipating fees of at least $1,000 to $3,000 if you expect a
"business level" website. Some custom websites can be more expensive, but generally aren't
worth the investment.
