The creation of a Website begins with an Idea. The Idea identifies the Website, defines an overview of what you want it to say and do. From this point, the process of refining and focusing the many possibilities of webdesign can begin, including:

Layout
Forms
Tables
Graphics and Animation
Navigation Strategies
Site Location
Posting and Promotion
Site Management Issues

Whether you are looking for a complete turnkey site or support in building your site yourself, we begin with a dialogue, an understanding of your Ideas. A well-designed site should be a comfortable place to visit. Much of our information and many of our suggestions are free. Once your Site Plan is finalized, what you really have to pay for is the time it takes to actually pull the various elements together in the construction of the pages.

Our basic pricing policy is $55 per hour to put up your site, with a $65 minimum. This includes One Year of Full Support. Site Maintenance Tools and Training are available if needed.

This is the best general information we can provide. A single page with custom graphics, frames, forms and other elements may be more time-consuming to produce than a multi-page site of fairly straightforward text and standard elements. Image Scanning, and Stock and Special Order Images - including custom animations - are also available.

Maintaining a Site on the Internet is usually not difficult, because the Plan and the Formatting usually remain constant. This is usually accomplished with a Style Sheet. Maintaining a Site is often time-consuming, because the Content must be revised regularly, which may require careful adjustments to successfully fit the new material into the existing mold. We highly encourage setting up personal pages to be easily maintained by the individual. Corporate, Small Business, Organization and Calendar Pages are excellentcandidates for our Maintenance Service. Whether your site is already inplace or we are building a new site for you, we work with you to establish a reasonable Update Frequency for your pages, and will manage the flow of information to and from your site to whatever degree you like.

We will receive and forward mail and form returns, supply Number of Visitor and other stats, and even upload specialty material for holidays and special events. We can also provide Promotion, Posting and Networking services.

Our general pricing policy for site maintenance is based upon a $10 per ¼ hour ($40/hour) rate, and our estimate of the average time required for an update of your site. Three arrangements are available:  1)Yearly, for regular maintenance with or without add-on services  2)For Two Years [12% Discount over Yearly Plan], for regular maintenance with or without add-on services  3)Per Update [+ $7.50 Scheduling Charge], for update with or without add-on services.

All you really have to pay for is the time it takes to actually revise and upload the various pages in the maintenance of your Website. We give you a firm price quote for whatever Service Arrangement you want, and you can then shop it around, or decide to do it yourself, or give us the go-ahead to maintain it for you!

Searching for Information, Products, and Services on the Internet is often time-consuming, especially if the searcher is not familiar with the various strengths, categorization heirarchies and listing terminology of particular search engines. There is a staggering amount of Content that can be accessed online, but many searches fail to deliver the desired results because the search was not properly directed and refined. With so much information available, the key to a successful search is in narrowing the parameters of the search so that as much of the undesired result is eliminated as early in the process as possible. We have successfully conducted searches for Small Businesses and for Individuals. We have put people together with friends and family members. We have Located Resources and Services. We have Distilled Raw Information into Clear and Concise Reports, and our conclusions have enabled some of our clients to realize significant advantages.

Our general pricing policy for internet search is based upon a $35 per hour rate, and our experienced estimate of the time required to perform the search. An estimate of the time required will be submitted for approval- and a 10% deposit must be paid - before any work is done on your behalf. 

All you really have to pay for is the time it takes to actually conduct the search online and prepare the report. We can often direct you to perform simple searches yourself - Free! Once we have established the requirements of the search, you receive an estimate of the required time to access the appropriate search engines and follow the various link paths to the desired degree of depth. Upon completion of your Search, you receive a detailed billing indicating sources and methods used in the search. There is no search too small or too large!
