Web Design Services
 

I can create an effective website for you that will enhance your visibility on the web. Your website will work for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, world wide. Compare that exposure to a brochure or newspaper ad and it's clear that your website can have a profound impact on your business.

Custom website design
Whether you need a basic website that simply lets the world know how to contact you or a more elaborate website that showcases your products or services, I can design a site to meet your needs.


My services include developing and implementing all elements on your site, from organizing your information into a logical sequence, to creating graphic design, to getting you onto the web.

Your website's look and "feel" can be a concept that we work on together to develop from scratch or one based on your own ideas or on examples of existing sites that reflect your overall concept.

Domain name registration
A website's domain name is what most people refer to as a website address, such as "www.yourcompanyname.com." Website domain names are registered through separate companies known as domain registrars. I can assist you in registering a domain name with the proper organization and also can help you choose a "name" (web address) that will help customers find your website more easily.

Website hosting
Website files reside on special computers known as servers that are connected to the Internet 24 hours a day—that is—connected as long as the servers are being properly maintained. These servers are maintained by hosting companies. I can arrange reliable website hosting services that will keep your site online and accessible to the public at all times.


I strongly suggest avoiding the "free" or reduced fee services because these are often less than reliable and may include irritating pop-up ads that would distract the user from your own website.

E-mail set-up
Confused about how to set up and retrieve your e-mail? Need more than one e-mail address for your company? I can arrange this important service for you and teach you how to access and reply to your e-mails from anywhere a computer is available to you—at the office, at your home, or while traveling.

Digital Photography
First-rate photography makes a positive statement. As an experienced professional photographer, I can create original images for your website, depending on the feasibility of access to your products, or I can search for stock images available to the general public. I also have the skills to revise and enhance your own digital photo files.

Website maintenance
You or your staff may already have the software/technology capabilities necessary to make updates to your website after it's finished. If so, I can provide step-by-step instructions on how to accomplish these tasks.


If you prefer, I can make the periodic updates to your site. A variety of options are available:

For very simple changes, such as modifying a few lines of text, there is usually no charge for infrequent modifications.

For more involved changes to your site, such as adding new pages, complete revisions of pages, graphics work, etc., the fee is $45 per hour. Depending on the amount of work involved, billing can be arranged on a monthly or quarterly basis.

If you think your website will need updates on a frequent basis, you may opt to enter into a quarterly maintenance contract.
