Website Design & Development

Custom Websites Built Around Your Needs

Your website is often the first impression people have of your business or organization. That's why I build customized websites that reflect who you are, connect with your audience, and help you achieve your goals.

Whether you need a new website, want to improve an existing one, or need help bringing your organization's online presence up to date, I'll work with you to develop a solution that fits your needs and budget.

I work with small businesses, nonprofits, churches, schools, sports organizations, and other community organizations. My goal is to provide practical, affordable web solutions backed by personalized service and ongoing support.

Website Design & Development Services

I build websites with the features and functionality your organization needs. Depending on your project, these can include:

• Custom website design: A website tailored to your organization rather than a generic, one-size-fits-all solution.
• Contact forms: Give visitors an easy way to get in touch with you.
• Photo galleries: Showcase your products, services, facilities, or activities.
• Event calendars: Share upcoming events and important dates.
• Online stores: Sell products and accept online orders through your website.
• Software integrations: Connect your website with supported applications and services.
• Analytics: Understand how visitors use your website through Google Analytics.
• Search engine optimization: Establish the basic SEO information your website needs to be indexed and understood by search engines.

The features included in your project will depend on your requirements and will be outlined in your quote before development begins.

Website Development Pricing

Website Development: Starting at $1,000

A typical small business website starts at $1,000. The final cost depends on the size and complexity of the website, its functionality, and the specific requirements of your project.

Rather than charging an open-ended hourly rate for the entire project, I provide a fixed-price quote based on an agreed-upon scope. This helps you understand the expected cost before development begins.

The quote outlines the project requirements, costs, and responsibilities for both parties. If your requirements change during development, I'll explain the cost implications before proceeding with the revised scope.

Hosting & Website Maintenance

Starting at $500 per year

For websites I build, annual hosting and maintenance typically starts at $500 per year.

Depending on your arrangement, this service can include:

• Website hosting
• Routine maintenance and updates
• Technical support
• Minor website content changes
• Domain registration and management
• Basic search engine optimization setup and adjustments

Annual billing is standard, but monthly billing is available upon request.

The exact services included will depend on your arrangement. Larger revisions, additional pages, new functionality, and substantial content development may require additional charges.

Discounts for Nonprofits

I typically offer discounts to nonprofit organizations on both website development and annual hosting and maintenance.

If you're a nonprofit, let me know when we discuss your project so I can take that into consideration when preparing your quote.

Already Have a Website?

If you already have a website, I can help you maintain it, make improvements, or take over its management.

The cost depends on the existing website, its technology, the work required, and the level of ongoing support you need.

For example, maintaining an existing WordPress website can involve a different level of effort than maintaining a custom-built website. I'll evaluate your requirements and provide a quote based on the work involved.

If you're considering a redesign, need additional features, or simply want someone to help manage your existing website, we can discuss your options.

Search Engine Optimization & Analytics

I include basic SEO setup as part of my website services. This can include adding relevant SEO information, configuring Google Analytics, and submitting your website to Google Search Console.

I can also make SEO-related adjustments when you request them.

My standard hosting and maintenance service is not a comprehensive SEO campaign. If you're looking for more extensive search engine optimization, we can discuss your needs and determine what additional work may be appropriate.

Domain Ownership & Management

I prefer to give clients ownership and control of their domain names so they retain control over this important part of their online presence.

However, I understand that some clients prefer to have everything managed for them. I'm flexible and can purchase and manage the domain on your behalf if that's what works best for you.

We'll discuss your preference and establish the appropriate arrangement for your project.

Changes & Ongoing Development

Websites often evolve as businesses and organizations grow. I'm happy to help you make changes after your website launches.

Minor content changes are generally covered by your annual hosting and maintenance fee. Larger revisions, additional pages, new functionality, and substantial content development are typically billed separately on an hourly basis.

If you request a change that falls outside the original scope, I'll explain the cost before proceeding. That way, you can make an informed decision without unexpected charges.
