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 $900

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

Pro Website from $1850

The sky’s the limit with this package! We’ll design a custom site with 8 static pages (with the option for more) with an optional blog.

Check out our Inquiry form for additional options available to you for this package – select as many or as few as you need. And once again, we’ll be here to help you get started with an hour of online training and 30 days of email support.
