Web Design

There is nothing magical about visual web design, and it shouldn't cost you a major portion of your budget to have a site created and maintained. A basic design for personal use, a small business or a non-profit organization is very affordable. Visitors want a basic, clean, well designed and visually appealing site that functions properly. Website owners want the same, plus they want one that can be updated and changed easily. If you want a fresh design that functions perfectly, then you need look no further. I can also add subtle Flash enhancements and slideshow presentations or galleries at a low cost too. A website similar to this can be done in a very few days. You will have a great looking site that isn't a copy of another site. You will get noticed and visitors will return often. A site of up to six pages, with free About Us and Contact pages included won’t cost you $1000 or even more. You can have an entire site for a very affordable price. A three to six page website can be completed for $175 (this does not include ecommerce sites with shopping carts). Yes, there are do-it-yourself sites and inexpensive web design applications available for purchase, but a professional web designer will ensure your site functions properly, is optimized for search engines, utilizes proper meta tags, and is designed so it is visually appealing instead of looking as if it came from a cookie- cutter template factory. Your distinct look will get you noticed in a positive way! Things to Think About During our initial consultation we will talk about concept and types of pages. Please read the information provided on the Questions page. These are ideas to think about before you contact me -- things like logos and images, color preferences and tone. Do you want a formal corporate style or something more relaxed? Once we get started, a site similar to this can be finished quickly and will cost you much less than you anticipated. You will never pay more than the rates quoted. There are no hidden design fees, no hidden programming fees -- just what you see posted. Additionally, I will be happy to set up and maintain hosting and your domain name for you. I recommend Valet Hosting for dependable, reliable hosting and outstanding customer service! Every business needs to have a web presence -- even if it’s only a page or two describing what you do and how to find you.

Visual Web Design Special Feature: I host your site on an interactive, live basis as it is being constructed. This enables you to test the site to see how it will look online before going final with the project and before it is hosted on your server.
