A web site is a simple but rather time-consuming project — and it need not be a chore if it's done right.

When I taught myself web design three years ago, I vowed to never do the things in my sites that I hated experiencing in others (such as scrolling all the way to the bottom of a page and not finding a "TOP OF PAGE" link, forcing me to scroll all the way back up again, or not being able to read text due to bad color choices). So I like to think my sites are easy to navigate and read, make logical sense, and provide a thorough but concise presentation of the material in question.

There is a lot to do setting up a web site, and if it's built correctly, adding to it is a relative snap. So the cost lies mainly in its foundation. There's a domain name to acquire and register, a server to hire, a navigational system to design and produce, and then the site is ready to live online.

To set up a site, my rate is $3000. Every page of the site is $100. So let's say you have a 10-page web site: $3000 for the set-up, and 10 pages @ $100 each is a total of $4000. Each additional page would cost you $100, and so on. My fees include:

 

Domain Name Search & Registration

Server Set-Up

Navigational Design & Production

Online Upload

Rollover Buttons, Photo Scans, & Text Formatting

 

All you supply are the photos
and text. I do the rest!

If you're interested in having the ability to collect donations (I use PayPal), my fee is $150 for the set-up. Banner ads are $100 each; animated banners are $200.

For books, newsletters, bumper stickers, flyers, pamphlets, posters, etc., please contact me for pricing information.

My rates are lower than the market bears because I want to help you get a web site online. The more voices animals have, I say, the better.
