In today’s world of business every brand should be capitalizing off of the power and reach of the web. A website is literally a digital business card and/or purchasing platform (shop) that’s accessible 24hrs a day, 7 days a week. So, whether you’re just starting out and need a new website or you already have one and could use some aesthetic or functional upgrades I can help you harness that power and reach with my Web Design & Development services starting from as little as $149.

*Hourly fee is waived as long as your revision credits are not exceeded. If revision credits are exceeded a $65 hourly fee will be applied from that point until completion.
^^ECommerce capabilities are included with these buys and allow you to have up to 25 products. If you don’t have product imagery and descriptions, then turnaround times will be longer and may incur additional charges if I have to acquire product imagery and create product descriptions.
Turnaround times for these buys are typically 7 to 14 business days for standard non-ecommerce websites and 7 to 21+ business days for ecommerce websites (as well as websites requiring other capabilities and/or complex functionalities). However, actual times may vary according to each client’s particular situation, needs and whether or not you have your own content (i.e. images, verbiage, etc.).
Know
Before You Buy
I not only believe and stand firm on being completely transparent in all my dealings, but over the years I’ve learned that my clients should be aware of what’s needed on their part to ensure the design process is equitably smooth for all parties involved. So, below I’ve outlined the frequently asked questions, the checklist, and the design process specific my graphic design services.
Frequently Asked Questions
Many design firms/freelancers require a contract before committing to work or rendering services. Do you require any sort of contract?
Absolutely. However, to streamline my design & development processes, I have generalized all my contracts. What this means is that, by placing your order with me here online, you agree to the terms of these contracts. For your complete convenience I’ve made all contracts available for viewing and/or downloading on the contracts page.
Although you offer pre-priced or bundled website buys, can I buy a website without the extras?
Absolutely. If you’re interested in a website without extras and you know exactly what you want just contact me for a free no obligation quote. Note: standalone designs may be billed at an hourly rate.
If you quote me a certain price before I commit, will that price change during the design process?
As long as your needs don’t change from the initial needs you stated at the time of the quote, No. If, however, your needs increase after the initial quote then the price may differ from the price quoted.
Do you charge an hourly fee or a flat fee for your design/development services?
I offer many service buys that are pre-priced, if you will, which saves you money in the long run. However, for custom projects or projects that exceed beyond the package price I do charge an hourly rate. Please see my pricing rates page for complete details.
After I place my order, how long will it be before my website is online?
Turnaround times for these buys are typically 7 to 14 business days for standard non-ecommerce websites and 7 to 21 business days for ecommerce websites (as well as websites requiring other capabilities and/or complex functionalities). However, actual times may vary according to each client’s particular situation, needs and whether or not you have your own content (i.e. images, verbiage, etc.).
Do you offer domain name registration or hosting services?
At this time, I do not offer domain name registration or hosting services. I am, however, looking to add domain name registration and hosting services to my service offerings in the near future, so stay tuned and check back often.
I have a website already. Can I have my current website redone and/or updated by you?
I can and do occasionally redo and/or update old websites. However, because this involves redoing someone else’s work my hourly rate will be charged on website redo/update projects. Please see my pricing rates page for details.
When you design & develop my website, will I own the exclusive rights to it?
Absolutely! The website I design & develop for you is yours free and clear. You will own the exclusive rights to the website as well as any and all files associated with your website.
What exactly are Revision Credits?
Revision credits are the number of times you can have your design re-worked without charge after the first initial mockup/design is submitted to you for approval.
Once you exceed the credits given to you with your purchase or quote, you will be charged/billed at an hourly rate (please see pricing rates page for rates specific to each service offering) for each additional revision over. Each credit is worth or equal to one revision.
Still have questions?
Since I can’t possibly address every question and/or concern here, I encourage you to see FAQs specific to each service offering. Additionally, you can contact me for any and all questions and/or concerns you may have.
Website Design & Development Checklist
To streamline and make the website design & development process frustration free and smooth as possible there are a few things you should know and hopefully have done before starting the web design & development process. These things are as follows:
What's in a name?
Your first order of business would be to choose a domain name (i.e. www.YourNameHere.com). Not a complicated process. However, there are some things to consider when choosing a name.
Keep It Simple!
Choose a name that reflects your business’ current name, service, product, logo, catch phrase, etc.
Keep it short
Choose a name that’s short. The shorter it is, the easier it is for potential customers to remember and the less likely they are to misspell it when trying to pull it up on the net. Shorter names also make for easier offline print advertising campaigns.
Dot Com . . . literally!
when choosing a name, try and stick with the .com extension, unless you’re an educational, governmental, non-profit entity (i.e., .edu, .gov, .org, etc.). The .com is usually the first one that comes to mind for most people.
Have patience . . . you'll need it!
Be patient, choosing a domain name can sometimes be frustrating. Many of the names you choose initially may be taken. However, be persistent, creative and keep searching until you find a name that reflects your company’s slogan, catch phrase, name, etc.
Registering The Domain Name
Once you’ve chosen a name, you’ll need to register it. There’s plenty of registrars available out there, so finding one won’t be a problem. Currently domain names cost around $15 per year (and some web hosts even offer free domain names with the purchase of a hosting package).
Choosing a web host
Although domain name registration and hosting services usually go hand in hand, there are many companies out there who offer one without the other. So below I’ve provided a few things to consider when choosing where to park your domain name and choosing a good web hosting package/provider.
Costs
First, you should consider what you’re willing to pay. On average you can get a decent hosting package for around $10 to $20 or so a month. Secondly, shop around & compare prices, features and customer service from different companies before making a purchase decision.
Disk Space
This refers to just how much content or how many files, pages, images, etc. your account will allow you to store on your hosting provider’s server. You should always opt for more rather than less. This way, as your company grows your website can scale up and accommodate that growth.
Bandwidth
This refers to just how much monthly viewer/visitor traffic your website can handle. Again, too much is a lot safer than too little. If your bandwidth usage goes over what was allocated to you in your hosting plan, visitors may not be able to view your site, not to mention some hosting companies will charge you for those overages.
Customer Support
You definitely want to be able to contact someone in the event your site is down, or something else goes wrong with your hosting. So, when choosing a hosting company be sure they have some sort of customer support system that won’t leave you stranded when and if problems arise.
Features
This too, is an area where more is better. Things like being able to edit server settings, install scripts and applications and more may be required for your website or business needs. So, you may not use all of your account’s features initially, but you’d rather have them on standby than to need them & not have them.
Content . . . Yours or Mines?
By content I mean images, text, videos, audio, etc. so having this together and organized will minimize the time needed to design and develop your website. In addition, if I have to create/provide that content additional charges may be required.
The Website Design & Development Process
I try and take the complexity, frustration and high costs often associated with website design and development out of the equation with my service. So to that end, I try and make the design & development process as smooth and simple as possible. However, before we begin the design & development process I ask that you, if possible, complete the website design & development checklist (see previous and adjacent tab). By ensuring this checklist is completed, you will minimize the time needed to complete your project.
Once you have successfully completed the items in the website design & development checklist, the design process will involve a multi step process, which has been outlined below:
Purchase your package
The first order of business involves purchasing the logo design package that best fits your situation as well as your budget (or paying the invoice I submitted to you if this is a quoted custom buy).
Gather and Organize Content
Soon after your purchase (usually within 24 to 72hrs), I will be contacting you and establishing best contact times for you, as well as gathering or requesting information about your vision (color scheme, imagery you envision, slogan/catchphrase, etc.) for your logo.
Create a mockup
When all information and content is gathered, a mockup will be created based on all the information and/or content you provided to me during our initial meeting or correspondence. Once you approve or exercise revision credits the actual design will be created based on the approved and/or updated mockup.
Submit revised or final design for your approval
Once this revised or final design is completed it will be submitted to you for your approval. If you decide to have your design re-worked, I will re-work your design to your new or added suggestions and feedback. Once done I will re-submit the design for another preliminary or final approval.
Submission of your files
After your expressed approval, I will create the final design and then I will either provide a link to download any necessary files, deliver any files in-person or ship any and all products and/or files associated with your project to you.
Complimentary Services
Online Forms
Get the most from your online forms. I can help you maximize your efforts, while streamlining your time by allowing you to schedule appointments, take orders, etc. via an online forms.
Blogs/Forums
Looking to start your own blog or forum? Not a problem, I can help you bring your goal of blog or forum ownership to fruition with a professionally designed blog or forum.
Banner Ads
From generating additional income to providing sales leads for website owners, banner ads are common place on the web. I can help you with all your banner ad needs.
Custom CSS
CSS or Cascading Style Sheets provide you more control over the look and layout of your website. With CSS you can control everything from the coloring scheme to how text is displayed to much more. I can build custom style sheets as well fix/fine tune your current CSS.
Custom Databases
Need a website to collect and store huge amounts of information? Or maybe you want to create an online subscription system and need to collect and store members log in credentials. Whatever your needs are for database usage I can definitely help.
Complete E-Commerce
There is no better way of keeping your business' doors open beyond normal ``brick and mortar`` business hours, than to have an online store front. Selling online can boost your company's overall sales without significantly increasing overhead costs.
Custom Favicon Files
Favicon files are the tiny images you see in your browser's address bar when visiting a website. This is also the same image seen in favorites when you bookmark a website. Not required of a website, but favicons add an extra layer of professionalism to your website.
Custom Scripts
Scripts add additional functionality to your website and/or app. From validating user input submitted in forms to offering conditional logic responses based on visitor input and/or behavior to so much more. I can create custom scripts for your current or next project/s.
Let's Talk
If you have an upcoming project that I may have not mentioned and you wish to enquire about whether or not it's a project that I'm willing to take on, by all means contact me and let's talk!
