We provide full featured web site layout,
design, and support. Our servers support all the latest
technologies and our staff is fully qualified and well
versed in all of them. No web design job is too
big or too small for us. We can accommodate websites for
small and home offices, large corporate web sites, and
everything in between.
We do not believe in package plans for web design. Many web designers
offer packages that are too big, knowing that they will
be able to bill for time and services that are not
needed. We strongly disagree with this philosophy. We
want you to have the website that you want, at a
price that works for you and not a price that
only benefits the web designer...after all, it is your
website...no one else's.
Here is an example that a
big-name company has been advertising on TV (you probably remember them from a few
years ago when "it" wouldn't print, even when they
jiggled the cable...):

"Web
Starter Kit
For
$499 <company x> will design and create
a three-page Web site, get your domain name
and host your Web site for six months.
What is included:
- Set up fee
- Six months of Web hosting, Monthly
subscription fee (currently priced by
<company x> at $24.95) after six
months is customer's responsibility.
- Up to 200 words of text per page
- As many as two images per page
- Choice of design themes from over 50
selected alternatives.
- Option to select stock photographs from
Library of Stock Photography Incorporation
of customer-supplied elements, including
text, logo, photographs and artwork, copy
entry, spell check, scanning, manipulation
and compression (if data supplied in
proper format)
- Search engine registration with selected
top search engines.
- Domain name with Network Solutions
- Renewal fees (currently $35/year) after
two years is customer responsibility"
|
Let's break that down a bit:
-
This page that you are looking at
now has more than 200 words...actually, it's even
more than 350. And they only allow 200 in their
package.
-
This webpage has more than two
images...they only give you two.
-
Three pages of this size takes only
a small amount of time to put together.
-
A website of this size costs
$15/month. For six months that would come to
$90.
-
Add $25 for the domain name
registration.
Does this add up to almost $500? We
don't think so. In fact we would do that same job for
about half that price.
Now here is what a company in New England
has to offer:
"Basic Web Site
$2400.00
A basic Web Site is based on one of six template's
that you can chose from. Containing up to ten
page's of customer provided text, eight
"boxed graphics" and one scanned image
(in most cases your logo). This package is a cost
effective way to start making use of the
Intent." |
Despite the fact that they misspelled
"Internet" in the last line, they don't tell
you much. How big is each page? Doesn't matter because
that is still way too expensive, even though this is the
most inexpensive design package they offer. Oh
yeah...this high price doesn't even mention anything
about the cost of the webhosting. That is an extra
$50/month. Doesn't sound like a great deal to us.
Our aim is to give you a website that
has what you need, not what they say you can
have.
