"How much does it cost to build a website?"
Costs for website development vary greatly on the complexity and size of the site in question. Websites containing just a couple of pages with basic descriptions and images cost less than large websites containing dozens of pages and searchable databases.
The process of creating a Website however, is really quite simple one. We need to ask you some questions regarding your Business, what graphics you have and would need, what design and layout you would like. Sometimes people come to us with a Website similar to what they would like. We take that along with your specific wishes for color schemes and ideas to design a Website for you.
See our prices in the table below for a guideline. When you contact us, we will do the best we can to give you an overall quote about how much the development for your website will cost based on your individual needs and criteria.

Additional Costs
Website Text:
You must set up a separate Word processor file for each Web page. Use this worksheet to indicate which file names correspond to which Web pages.
We prefer Microsoft Word, though we can convert a wide variety of file types.
Please do not send us a draft of your text. Send us your final version. While we expect to make minor changes here and there after the Web pages are prepared, text that contains multiple changes may be subject to additional charges, especially if they require a good deal of formatting involved.
If the text is Not provided in a formatted form from a word processor on a diskette or via email, and if we have to 'type' your text, this will be charged at our hourly rate.
Website Graphics:
The quality appearance of your Web site has a lot to do based on the photos or graphics you choose for your Web pages. You may send graphics to us in digitized form via email or hard copy cd(disks) which we can process. Please be sure to prepare captions for each photo. Either in an attached text file or a PostIt Note to indicate its caption and which Web page it goes on. If you need us to prepare specialized graphic elements in addition to our site graphics package, please explain clearly, and perhaps include a sketch. We charge for such items on an hourly basis. You may select stock photos for your pages from various places on the internet. If you want us to find and select photos, we charge our hourly rate.
With our packages you wont find a per page limit to the graphics your allowed to use. Suggestions may be provided based on optimization for speed or clarity in regards to photos. Typically companies charge additonal fees for multiple images per page or mutlitple pages with images. All fees for this processing is included in our price.
