 What's
the low, low price?
Web
design I charge $50 per hour for standard website design and development.
This rate applies to labor such as content and graphics development, site structure
development, page creation, scanning, site deployment and search engine registration.
Basic database integration is also charged at the $50 per hour rate. The initial
consultation for your website is free. Once I understand the scope of your
project, I can provide you with a solid estimate for cost. A website can cost
as little as $150 or as much as $10,000 - it just depends on what you want on
your site. The good news is that you have a great deal of control over how much
your site costs - Please see the page Bring
down your development costs for tips on ways to reduce development time and
expense. Following these suggestions can easily save you hundreds of dollars! I
do not offer packages - like "6 pages for $400" - because in most cases
this restricts the client to preconceived structures.This ensures that your site's
content, structure and functionality are tailored to meet your needs, and not
the canned agenda of a pre-established package. Flash animations and video
streaming media development are billed at $75 per hour. Please read the
terms of service page for
information on billing schedules. Other costs for a website - Along with
the development costs, there are two other charges that bear mentioning: First,
you will be charged for your domain name. Second, you will need to have your site
hosted with a domain host. For
more information about these expenses, please see the FAQ. Website
maintenance As with website development, I charge a flat $50 per hour rate
for site maintenance. I don't offer a monthly "update subscription"
service because this almost always costs the client more. For example, one of
my clients was paying $400 per month for such a service. After I redesigned their
site, it had four times the content which needed monthly updates, and I still
brought their average update costs down to around $150. That's right - I provided
400% MORE labor to update the site and brought their ongoing cost down by $250
per month. If you would like to maintain the site yourself, I can set up
your computer and train you on how to do this. My charge for this is $50 per hour.
You will also be responsible for costs associated with necessary software, hardware
and Internet access. Product photography

I am shooting pictures for you as part of a website development project, I will
charge either the above rates or the standard $50/hour rate, whichever is lower.
Photography other than standard product photography will be priced on a project-by-project
basis; I can't provide a set fee here because your needs may require that I purchase
props, hire models, travel, etc. I can give you a solid estimate for cost when
I understand the scope of what you're looking for. Writing I
charge $50 per hour plus expenses for writing. This labor includes interviews
and research, drafting, revisions, editing, and (if requested) layout and design
of final documents. Expenses may include long distance phone charges, travel,
printing large quantities of final documents, etc. Graphics,
animations and video I do most of my own graphics work for website development
at the standard $50 per hour rate. Extensive graphics work that requires outsourcing
to a subcontractor is billed at $60 per hour. Animations and video development
are billed at $75 per hour. Once I understand the scope of your project, I can
provide you with a solid estimate for cost. Other
services Other services are billed at the $50 per hour rate plus expenses.
