To make sure you are getting what you want. I recommend starting out with a 1-2 hour consultation. Once you decide you want to move your business online well discuss your branding image.
If you have a website design already in mind, we can use that and customize it with your information. If not, I recommend moving into the design phase. This will consist of designing 4 variations of your design input. This phase is very important to get the look and feel you want.
Other instant web design places don't give you that option and you may be stuck with a template design of lower standards. Not all templates are cheesy however.
Consultation
Find out what your business needs to make a website profitable for you. Not all businesses need the same things. So why not schedule time to speak to an experienced designer?
$100 Business Consultation Fee*
Bonus: If you decide to move forward with the project. This fee will be waved.
Design Phase
After we consult, I will design 4 colorful comps to select from. From the final comp you select, I will design a home and subpage. Cost is $400 to $600 for 8-12hours of graphic designing.
You may bypass the 4 designs phase if you already have a template in mind.

If you plan to add pages an know your website will grow, I recommend adding a content management tool for $999. That includes the Basic package ($499 value) and the content management tool ($500 value).
After the initial design phase this will allow you to create pages after pages of text without knowing any HTML and without additional assistance from a webmaster. |

Store Template starts at $1499. That includes the Basic package ($499 value) and the template customization time ($1000 value).
Depending on the number of products I charge $50 an hour to get all the product pages to look alike, upload the graphics, and format the sales text.
Additional Fees from web ecommerce providers, hosting service, domain registrars will apply. Ecommerce shopping cart providers can range from $40 to $200 a month, payable to Yahoo, Miva and your domain registar.

$50 a month to maintain content and improve searchability, as well as automatic updates to domain registry fees. With an additional $50 an hour to update content if required.
Final Words
If you buy every package for less than 3k to get your web business started, that's still cheaper than hiring an in-house web designer, plus benefits for a whole year of support only when you need it. So are you ready to get started? Send me a note.
