Web Design

The Value Deal
Not everyone's budget can accommodate a custom built website.  That's why we offer an alternative.

Website by Template
What is a template?
It's a pre-designed website.  All made and ready to go.

How it works...
Together we choose a template according to your needs and wishes (color and layout), then we put in your company name and/or logo, and of course, your text.  There are 100's of templates to choose from and the process can be just as exciting as building your own site from scratch.

So what's the difference?
A template just means that your site is not unique ~ that there are other websites that look just like yours out there somewhere on the Internet.

The following prices are based on websites which are built within Joomla.  This DOES NOT cost you any more than a plain HTML web site and enables us to offer you MORE for less.  To learn more about Joomla please visit our "Do it Yourself" page.

No one can guarantee a top spot on any search engine (and if they do don't fall for it!) but you can certainly take many measures to ensure that your site is optimized to its fullest ~ ensuring the highest ranking possible.

Add a Package

You can add a package to the basic package to give you more options.  If you require something different than the following packages - it's NO PROBLEM!  We can quote you on what you need.
 
How it works
If you are interested in using our services, we begin with an initial consultation.  We will discuss what your needs are and what is required for your site, along with budget and design.  Afterward, we put together a written quote for your job - which includes all the details of the work to be done for your site.

If you're happy with our quote and ready to move forward - we ask for a retainer fee to begin the work.

For smaller sites, we ask for a 50% retainer fee and the balance is to be paid upon completion.

For larger sites, we ask for a 33% percent retainer fee to start, another 33% payment 1/2 through the project and the balance to be paid upon completion.

And just to note:  When we say, "upon completion" we mean your site is complete and running and you (and/or your staff) have been trained to use Joomla.
 
Joomla "Take's Care of your Business"
Many clients wish they could edit their own site but since they don't know HTML and CSS, until now, it hasn't been possible.  We offer the solution!!  We build our sites in Joomla - an open source CMS (Content Management System). It's a FREE software that runs the web site and enables the client to take over once the build is complete!

You don't need to know anything about web designing or coding...  You just need to have basic computer skills to manange your Joomla site!

We design your site - to your specifications.  When its complete, you receive the training you need to manage your site yourself!

What Joomla can do....
Editing your web site has never been so easy!  With an interface panel very similar to Word.  It's extremely user friendly and even includes a spell checker.  You can upload your images directly from your computer into your webpages.  You can also set user permissions for your staff and manage your site the way you want to.
 
Take control of yuour own site!
Over the years we have listened to most of our clients state that they wished they could take care of their website themselves.

Why?  For two reasons:
#1. A client has to pay their designer for each and every change they need done.  If a client has continually changing content, say an events calendar for example - it can run up quite a bill in just one year.

#2. People like to have control and access to every part of their business.  That includes their website and its content.

A Solution That Works!!
So we came up with a solution that saves our clients a lot of money in the long run and enables us to offer more (in the way of add-ons) in the build of their site -  for less! Joomla is the answer because it is so extremely user friendly.  It is "open-source" software - meaning that it is a free software.  So it doesn't cost clients any extra money to have it.  We actually like Joomla SO much, that as of last year - All our sites are now built within this software.

Its easy to access.  You just go onto the Internet and login at a special address in your site.  You can manage your site from ANYWHERE at ANYTIME.  You don't have to have your own personal computer to make the changes that need to be done.

Its easy to use.  Within one and a half hours of training you will be able to manage your site yourself.  Training our clients how to use Joomla and any add-ons that they might have is part and parcel of our service. 

Support is always available.  General support is free of charge.  We are available by phone and/or email when you need us.  We are currently putting together an on-line manual for our Joomla users as well.  Our clients are given a special login username and password to access this content on our site.

We are happy to answer any questions you may have about Joomla or the services we provide.
