Basic Web Services

After discussing with you the specific purpose of your web site and what information you want it to contain, I will create a sample page. I will modify that page until I have designed a "look" that we both agree suits your business or organization. Then I will complete the rest of the site. All pages will have an identifying logo and/or name of your business or organization, and all pages will have navigation tools so that visitors can easily move around your site.

Because each site is different, I cannot give an accurate estimate of the cost of your site until I have gathered some detailed information.

In addition to designing and creating the web pages and graphics for your site, I can also:

• Explain your choices for a web address ~ why yo need your own domain name
• Register your domain name in YOUR name
• Help you select a web hosting service
• Work with you to determine what function your web site will serve in your overall business
• Advise you on how to integrate your web site into your other marketing
• Register your web site with the major search engines
• Train you to create or maintain your own web site if you desire (this may require that you purchase special web design software)
• Convert documents to PDF format: If you have orderforms, application forms, or other documents you want to make available to visitors in a format that will look to same for everyone who prints them out, I can convert these documents to PDF format for access from the web site.

Special Services

Shopping Cart: Sites which offer on-line purchases need a way for users to safely pay for those purchases. PayPal is the quickest and easiest (and I believe the cheapest to you) way to offer online purchases. I can set up your PayPal account and have it integrated with your site within 24 hours.

Another option is to have a special shopping cart program installed and configured on the web server. This is only cost effective if you have a large number of items you are selling, or if you have one of a kind items for sale. I will set up the Quikstore shopping cart program to make your goods or services available on-line, and customize the program to suit your needs. If you want your visitors to be able to enter credit card information on-line, you will need a merchant account and a secure server certificate. I can advise you on these services.

Special Scripts: Forms that users fill out online, guestbooks, and bulletin boards all require special scripts to make them work interactively with web visitors. I can install and configure these scripts and integrate them so they match the look of the other pages on your site.
