New Web Site Pricing

WE DO NOT CHARGE A SET UP FEE*.

When you order a site to be created, we sit down with you for your ideas on what you'd like your site to look like. For budget purposes, you should plan on paying $175 for the artwork and creation of your homepage. Then plan on something like an average of $40-$50 per page after that. Some pages cost less and some pages (such as creating a form) will cost more. Flash animation and custom artwork is billed at $60 per hour. These fees are, of course, plus tax for Texas residents.

A typical Web site page is one or two screens (scroll down one or twice) of about 500 words and one or two graphics. After 500 words your potential clients will get bored with paging down and be tempted to leave. We suggest that if you have a lot of information, you use more than one page.

If your site consists of two or three pages, with a couple graphics on each page and possibly a form to send information to you, you should budget in the $300-$400 range. You would not be able to advertise to the whole world with any other media for a price that low. Change to the site, once published, is at a rate of $45 per hour. Changes typically include price changes to products offered on your site, addition of products, etc.
