Web Design

Along with schooling and pursuing a career in SharePoint, I also develop personal websites on the side. I have been designing and developing websites for over 4 years now. Every web site project I pursue is based on the following:

• Web 2.0 Standards
• Professional look
• Ease of maintenance for customer

Pricing

Pricing for websites varies depending on the amount of features a site will have. There will also be additional fees if the current domain name and/or hosting space needs to be transferred. A site/domain name will HAVE to be transfered to GoDaddy if it is hosted elsewhere. If a client is adamant about not transferring to GoDaddy, there will be extra fees incurred. For more information about this policy, contact me directly. Below is a rough estimate of pricing for most common applications. Please remember that these are just rough estimates – you will need to contact me for an exact amount.

Basic Site – $500

• Domain name and hosting space setup at GoDaddy.com
• Email account(s) setup
• ~5 Pages
• Minor graphic design (banners, logos, etc.)

• Minor advanced features such as slideshows, polls, blog, etc.

Advanced Site – $1500

• ~10+ Pages
• Major graphic design (banners, logos, etc.)
• Ability to have users register and create an account on your site

*Content Management System A content management system allows editing of pages via the web browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, etc). This allows the customer to edit their page as if they were using Microsoft Word to do it. There is no code to learn, and there is no need to buy expensive web design software. I will perform all the behind-the-scenes coding, and the customer will be able to edit their site completely code-free and through any web browser. This also means customers can edit their site from any computer with internet access.
