Overview

Building a web presence used to be an option in the past. Nowadays, a website is a necessary item for any business. It provides your customers with valuable information about your business and can even serve as another outlet for your sales. With a web presence it's like always being open for business: customers can find out about you and make a decision at their convenience, which provides a definite advantage in today's competitive market. We can design the right site to your needs and desires with little to no maintenance so you can be up and running in no time with best functionality.

There are several key areas to look at when designing a web site. Here's a few of them that we closely observe while building any web site:

• Ease of navigation - Web sites that have too many links all scattered through the pages, or menus that don't reveal all options are hard to navigate and uneasy at conveying information about a specific subject. In contrast, careful planning and a good arrangement of the website can make quite a difference and your customers will be more willing to spend more time on your site looking up information they're interested in.

• Technology used - A lot of new technology in a website can make for a pretty page and impressive graphics. Unfortunately, not all browsers may support it and you may end up having less traffic simply because your page requires too much. Also, many graphics-heavy websites are slow to load and inefficient over most dial-up connections (which 50% of all the online computers still use). Let us design your website with enough technology to capture your customers' interest and keep it alive by optimizing the speed and appearance.

• Arrangement - A well-designed website is aware of the fact that not all viewers will have the same browsers or same resolution. Therefore it will adjust to any size when needed and still look the way you intended it to look in the first place. A page that is neatly centered on the screen and has all its components unaffected by resolution changes means a lot to a web-savvy customer and can get a message across much better.

• Content - What you actually write in the pages is obviously very important. We work closely with you to make sure that the content you want is what you get.

Getting started is easy: you send us a few examples of how you would like tour web site to look, give us your content that you would like on the site, we come up with the arrangement, coding, test everything to make sure it functions properly on multiple environments and we get back to you with a website. Any suggestions you may have, questions or concerns will be promptly addressed.

We guarantee you will get a web site you will like and we will also help you in setting up anything else your web site may need: shopping carts, database queries, feedback forms.

Availability

We do websites by contract or work order only. Any subsequent changes after the final version is approved must be done through another work order. Time frame for building a website depends on the content and the technologies used, it is typically a few days until we can get a draft and we work with you to make sure everything you need is included. Response time for emergency changes after the final version is typically 24 hours, depending on the need.

Pricing

Pricing for websites depends largely on the content and the technology implemented. An informative package price is given below:

• Starter: $249. Text/links only, no pictures. Includes a home page plus two other additional pages.

• Basic: $449. Text/links only, plus one picture per page. Includes a home page plus four other additional pages (five pages total).

• Intermediate: $599. Text, links, Java code (as needed) and forms (feedback, e-mail, mailing list) are designed at this level. Includes 10 pages total, pictures are allowed up to 2 per page.

• Advanced: $749. 15 pages, four pictures per page, includes text, links, java, forms.

• E-Commerce: $1399. Includes text, links, java, forms, unlimited pictures, shopping cart with checkout and item list/description area. Up to 20 items, each additional $10, with its own description page.

• Unlimited: $2499. Up to 50 pages, no restrictions on technologies used, content or pictures-per-page. Flash is also available. Database programming extra.

• Maintenance: $19 per page changed.

• Additional pages for each of the above packages is $30 per page.

As an example, this Cibernetix.com website would fall under the "Advanced" category based on how the pages are constructed and the amount of complexity, so it would cost $749 for the first 15 pages. The site has 55 pages total designed, so the overall cost would be $1949.
