Affordable website design packages

1. Website/blog Starter Kit: only $297

A professionally designed layout, installed and hosted on your own domain (e.g., yourcompany.com), ready in as little as five business days, for a fraction of the price others charge.

Pretty comfortable online? Just need a little help getting past the scary technical set-up stuff? Then this is the package for you. I create your website. You just add the content (words, pictures,graphics, etc.)

Up to 10 pages (Home, What We Do, Who We Serve, About, Contact, etc.
Blog (optional)
Contact form
SEO, anti-spam and anti-hacker security software

Includes complete step-by-step instructions and videos showing you how to create add and edit copy, insert photos, add pages — all the most common website tasks. Package does not include design customization, copywriting, or technical support, although all are available for a modest extra fee.

Note: This low-price package requires web hosting from one of my affiliated providers, and does not include their monthly hosting charge (as little as $7.95 per month, but I’ll get you a nice discount — the first month for only a penny. Yeah, one penny.)

Already have web hosting you’re happy with? No problem, but I’ll have to charge you a $47 setup fee.

2. The Complete Website: only $997

All the above — installation, domain registration and hosting — but without the DIY. Instead, I DIFY — Do It For You.

This package also includes lots more:

Up to ten website pages: Home, Services, About, Contact, Blog, etc. I’ll create them and include placeholder text and images so it’s even easier for you to edit them. Heck, I’ll even upload your logo, if you have one.
A blog, unless you don’t want one.
Professionally designed layout, design and color scheme. Thousands (both free and paid) to choose from. If you like, I’ll recommend three or four good matches your needs.
Custom email setup, e.g., you@yourcompany .com, for that professional image. (Yes, you still use your favorite email program.)
A contact form so visitors can… you know, contact you, ask questions, invite you out for mojitos, whatever.
Basic SEO (Search Engine Optimization) Enough to get you noticed by Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc. (Heavy-duty SEO Copywriting is also available.)
Security software to protect your website from hackers, spammers and other undesirables.
(Optional) Customer sign-up form to build your mailing list and follow-up via email. Marketers say, “The money’s in the list” and your own in-house customer list can be absolute gold.

You’ll also receive complete step-by-step instructions, including video tutorials, on how to do the most common tasks: Add/delete/edit pages, blog posts, etc. (Don’t worry, WordPress makes it pretty easy.)

Two hours of technical support and design customization are also included (a $150 value). Still stuck? Need more help? Additional assistance is available at my standard hourly rate.
