The Right Size Website for Your Small Business
Would you like a website for your business but don't know where to start? You have come to the
right place. I can design your website and put it on the web for you. Then I can manage your website and make
updates for you. If you want a huge site with lots of fancy flash I am not the designer you want. But if you are
looking for an effective, professional and affordable website please contact me to discuss your project.

Affordable Websites, starting at $350 design fee
Hosting will be billed separately. Cost will be determined by options
chosen, but will average $150 per year.
Small businesses
benefit from having a website, whether they use it to sell products or simply advertise their business. Your website
may be as simple as 3 pages-
- Home- This is the page that pops up when your site opens.
It says who you are and what you do.
- About us-This page features products or services that make your business
special.
- Contact- This page has your phone number, fax, email address and a contact form.
When
you contact me I will set up a meeting with you to ask questions from my Planning Your New Website Worksheet. I will
use that information to write a Proposal tailored to your needs and budget. You are in the driver's seat.
I won't sell you anything you don't need. You can decide later to add more pages to your site as your business
grows..

The Website Maintenance Costs
You have your business
to run. You don't have time to learn how to make a website. I can make your website and keep it up to date. You
will tell me when you want to make a change and I will take care of it for you. As we plan your site I will be able
to see if your site will need weekly or monthly updating. You can expect to pay an annual maintenance fee equal
to your website design fee. The maintenance fee will be billed every 6 months.
If
you decide you would like to maintain the site yourself I will turn over all passwords and files to you and there won't
be a maintenance fee. There are no refunds for time left on your Maintenance Contract. Instruction lessons will be billed
separately by the hour.
Or you could decide to pay for a year of website maintenance
and see how it goes. Experience has taught me that a site needs to be updated monthly (minimum) to keep it fresh.

to look for basic information on the web. If you think your business doesn't need a full website you should consider
having an Affordable Snapshot page for this basic information on One-Page:
- Business
name

- Phone number
- email address
- map
- Hours open
- photo of your
storefront or a product
- 2 other items of your choice (if room allows)
