How Much Does It Cost?

You might be surprised to learn how inexpensive a custom-designed web site can be. Whenever possible, we find Open Source solutions for powering your site project. This means there are no licensing fees. You save on creating code from scratch. You can save on design and setup costs by customizing stock template systems that are usually available.

Depending on the content, complexity and features, the total cost can be comparable to running a few display ads in the local Shopper's Guide at one end of the spectrum, to animation production at the other.

For the cost of a series of print advertisements, you can have a full-color, living picture of your business with a global circulation. It is an advertisement that can be easily updated as your product line and marketing strategy evolves.

We can work with almost any budget.

Rates for setting up a WordPress site vary according to your needs and specifications, but here are some basic guidelines that might help.

A basic install and setup of WordPress onto your hosting account is approximately $300.

Creating your site page layouts for WordPress start at $300. For instance, we charge around $300 to add an existing logo; there may be additional costs depending on the amount of graphics to be added, and the number of pages needed for the site.

We have found that it is  easier and faster for us to setup a client with a Wordpress solution than to build a site utilizing the same content as a 'flat page' html site. We pass this savings in time along to our clients. This also marks a big shift in what a website needs to do to compete on today's crowded World Wide Web.

Our goal is to give you a site that you will take you to whatever marketing level you can comfortably maintain. We would more or less be in a partnership on your website - we help you with an effective presentation of your work, and you (or us, if you'd like) are responsible for keeping the site fresh and vital. The web is the new phone directory. You need to be on it.

We'll provide estimates for adding page and image content, usually by looking at your requirements and how much material you'd like entered. We can also price adding open source and paid plugins to cover any custom functions, such as for a membership or ecommerce enabled website.

If you require hosting, we offer a managed service for $150 a year for a plan that fits most non-ecommerce or heavy traffic/query situations. We use the same data center for our hosting that many major companies use (http://gnax.net/). We offer 130% wind powered hosting plans. The advantage of managed hosting is that we act on your behalf when there are technical issues arise, or for help in setting up email accounts.

If you'd like us to update your site, if there are any items that need to be changed, we can do this at our hourly rate.

Please don't hesitate to contact us at 413-528-3195 or use the form below if you prefer. Usually the best way to start is for you to send us the addresses of other sites, noting what parts or functions of the sites you think are really cool, and also tell us what your service or business is.
