Web Design Packages

All of our web design packages include the following:

1) WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) Editor [+]

This editor allows you to take control of your website. It allows anyone that has been given permission to edit and add content to all of your pages as well as insert links, images, audio, video, and most common document formats. If you can use a program like Microsoft Word you can use this editor, and don’t worry, we’ll be training you as well!

2) Comments [+]

Visitors to your site can leave comments on individual entries, and through Trackback or Pingback can comment on their own site. You can enable or disable comments on a per-post basis.

3) RSS Feeds [+]

Not only can your News be instantly displayed on other websites, you can also display news from other websites on yours! All with the click of a couple of buttons, visitors can display your News headlines on their site, when their site visitors click, they are taken directly to your site. It’s a great way for you to not only increase your sites’ traffic, but to get your News read!

4) Spam Protection [+]

Out of the box WordPress comes with very robust tools such as an integrated blacklist and open proxy checker to manage and eliminate comment spam on your blog, and there is also a rich array of plugins that can take this functionality a step further.

5) Search & Site Map functionality [+]

If you need to provide visitors with search capabilities or an easy to read site map of your content, the CMS can be set up to include these functions built directly into your design!

6) Contact Us Form [+]

Your ‘Contact Us’ page will automatically include all of your contact information plus an email form that allows people to send you their name, email address and a message.

Basic Website from $1500

With our Basic Website, we’ll create a beautifully engaging website with 3 static pages, navigation bar, plus the option for a blog.

Each page will have a unique call To action link to urge visitors to perform a specific goal (subscribe to mail list, contact for information, etc.).
Optional mailing list opt-in form which lets visitors subscribe to receive email information and promotions from you.
Google analytics – a valuable traffic analysis tool that keeps track of visitors and what they do; produces valuable reports to determine what is working — and what isn’t working on your website.
Your website is expandable and upgradable as your business needs grow.
We empower and equip you with the ability to make any changes necessary to your website and will teach you what you need to know.
We offer additional add-ons via our Inquiry form because we know that not every client needs every functionality we offer.
We’ll also be here to help you get started with an hour of online training and 30 days of email support.
