So how much does it cost?

Typical Website Design and Build Fees:

• No Charge - initial phone consultation to help prospective client decide what they want on their website.
• $50 - meet with client (in person or using the internet and phone) to select colors, font, menu, banner size, etc.
• $50 - create the template page for the website. 
• $15 to $25 per page - insert, format and revisions to text, links and menus.
• $15 per picture - crop, resize, adjust colors, sharpen, optimize for quick download, embed on page).
• $20 per page - Search Engine Optimization - evaluate keywords & insert them where search engines look.
• $30 - embed map (from Google Maps, MapQuest, etc.) in page.
• $30/hour -  custom graphics.

As an example, a 2 page website with 2 pictures, text, an embedded map, and a simple banner, would cost about $250.

An example of a $500 website is one with 8 pages, 8 pictures, text, an embedded map, and simple custom graphics on the banner and menu.

Maintenance (updates/changes to website) $30/hour.

Other costs (I don’t provide these services):

• Domain Registration typically costs about $10/year.
• Domain Hosting typically costs $60 to $120/year.
