That means it is IMPORTANT to share with us your objectives and goals, so we can ensure your website is built using the right solution that is within your budget and is ready for the future.
Do It Yourself
You may truly want to work with a web designer/developer BUT time & budget constraints are forcing you to look for other options. That’s OK, we understand. Please visit the links below or talk to your hosting company for solutions that are available with your hosting package.

Your hosting company may offer applications such as "Site Builder" or "Web Site Tonite". Please speak to a support representative at your hosting company. When you work at building your site yourself, remember that your time is valuable. The true cost of building your site needs to include the dollar value of YOUR time spent to learn and build the site.
Please do not hesitate to contact us, if you have any questions on pricing.
A Note on Pricing
Based on client feedback we understand that our pricing is "reasonable". This is how we arrive at reasonable pricing:
We use applications and scripts that are available under GPL or LGPL or Single Domain (Fee) Licenses. This means our clients spend $0 or a nominal amount on web site framework.
The investment you make to develop a web site with us, covers costs towards time spent on research, project planning, competitor analysis, site interface code and development, integration of third-party utilities, add on module or component install and customization, content presentation, troubleshooting, search engine related work, administration, evaluation of finished product with objectives and social media/networking recommendations.
Project Pricing
Project pricing is influenced by requirements/scope of work. Mentioned below are few of the factors:
- Number of pages
- How many photos or other graphics are required
- Will you be selling products on your site? Number of items in your online store or catalog
- Will you need any forms for collecting information?
- Does the form require specific processing & validation?
- What do you envision for the look and feel of your site?
- Your list of specific must-haves?
- Forum, members only area, videos, photo gallery, poll, etc.
- Do you have all content items available electronically
What Next?
We've put together a questionnaire - web site needs analysis, to help you capture your vision for the project. The more information you can give us, the better we'll be able to respond. Answer each question in a clear and concise manner.
