Website Services

I can supply a complete turnkey package which will give you a professional website and online presence. My goal is to make the process of creating your website fast, easy and affordable for you while creating a website that meets all your needs, and expectations. I design websites that are simple, clean and easy for visitors to use, and that will load quickly. This is important since about 52% of all people connecting to the internet use slow dial-up services. I achieve fast download speeds by keeping graphics to a minimum. The needs of the people using your website are of utmost importance to me. When visitors are happy with your website, they are more likely to buy your products and services.

The process begins with a free consultation to determine what you need your website to accomplish and who the target audience is for your website. After the consultation I will prepare a price quote covering every aspect in the creation of your website, removing the chance of any unpleasant surprises. As soon as you approve the price quote, and pay the advance, I will then begin working on your project.

I will create a preliminary design and upload it to the Internet where you will be able to see it as it will appear to your visitors. At this time you can tell me if you want any changes to be made. Then I will create your entire website and put it on the Internet. After you approve this final version I will send it to you on a CD, or load your website onto your hosting comany's server. Your website is then ready to represent you and your business.

I can offer you a complete turnkey package for both custom and predesigned websites to make the entire process even easier for you. The turnkey package includes the following, and most features can be upgraded.

• Registration of your domain name for 1 year (www.YourCompany.com, .net, .org, .biz or .us)
  
• Web hosting for 1 year (your site on a web server)
  
• 250 MB of storage space. This is equal to about 250,000 pages of text.
  
• Unlimited POP E-mail Accounts. This lets you have an unlimited number of e-mail accounts so you can keep e-mails separated for different departments or personnel.
  
• 6 GB of data transfer per month. This is equal to about 6,000,000 pages of text.
  
• Registering your site with over 1,500 search engines, announcement services and classifieds, including: Google, Lycos, Excite, Webcrawler, Snap, Alta Vista and Yahoo.
  
• Testing of your website on various browsers to insure compatibility across the Internet.
  
• No long term contract. After I create your website I can maintain it for you, you can maintain it yourself, or hire someone else to do it for you.
  
• And much more
  

I offer a 30-day money back guarantee on all custom websites. If you decide you don't like the site I will remove it from the Internet and refund your money, less expenses. Nonrefundable expenses include scanning of artwork, domain name registration, web hosting fees and site promotion fees.

Optional services for additional fees include:

• Website Evaluation - I can check the design, layout, ease of use, graphics optimization, pages that need to be added or changed and much more. My evaluation will focus on making a website that will attract visitors, and keep them on your site. This will give you the best chance to get your message across to visitors, and increase the chances of visitors buying your products and services. You will receive a written evaluation of all aspects of your website and all of my suggested changes. I'll also include a price estimate for all of these changes.
  
• Copywriting - If you need copy written for your website that will promote your business and services, I can do this too. As a writer with over 30 years of experience, I can give you copy that will be sharp, snappy and tell visitors to your site exactly what you want them to know. Writing for websites requires special skills unique to the Internet. I've had many of my articles published on the Internet by numerous websites. Many of the articles I have on The Creative Cauldron are read by 300 to 500 people each month. I can make this same compelling copy work for you. This service costs $60 per hour, with a 1 hour minimum.
  
• Website Updates - I can add or remove pages from your site and update information, or make any other changes you desire. I don't use a contract for this, but simply charge by the hour. My rate is $60 an hour with a 1-hour minimum. If you pay for 5 hours in advance I will give you a 6th hour free.
