What part does the client play in developing a
site? I will need
help in building your site. You will need to gather up any graphics such
as photos, artwork, graphs and charts that you plan to use. We will
need text and other data.
If you live in the Blairsville area, we will sit down together and
create a story board. The story board will show individual pages and
how they link together. It is really quite fun!
How much does a web design cost? A custom home page
is around $100. I
can design you a site with three pages, text, links and photographs for
around $300. Complicated sites with lots of multimedia cost more. Large
sites can cost thousands of dollars. I will be glad to give you an estimate.
Are there other costs? You will
probably want to purchase a domain name and hosting space from a provider
like Netfirms. These name and hosting fees are around $125 a year and
are usually charged to your credit card. You may also choose
a free hosting
plan if you meet the requirements.
How long does it take? Not long. I can get a three
page Web site built and published to the Internet within a couple of
weeks.
Can I hire you to work by the hour? Yes. I charge
$20 an hour.
Why are your prices so low? I am charging introductory
rates while I build my professional portfolio.
What will be my web site address? We will apply
for a domain name such as: www.MyNameGoesHere.com. and buy one
that is availiable. You
can get free space and a free address
for personal pages and billboards. An example of a free address
is: www.geocities.com/MyNameGoesHere. All kinds of
hosting plans are available online.
Will I own my site? Yes. You will have a password
to access your files. You will own your site.
What is Flash? Flash is a Macromedia software
program that brings a whole new dimension to the Web. It uses a timeline
and layers to help create movies for Web pages. Flash supports imported
video and sound files, too. Most browsers come
equipped with a Flash player installed. You can download the latest
Flash player for free at Macromedia. If you have it, then view my animated Birthday
Card. (48K)
How much do you charge for making a Flash movie? $50
will get you a small custom animation. A custom movie like Birthday Card
costs $200 up.
What is JavaScript? JavaScript is a scripting language
that makes things happen. I use it many ways to create interactive
elements. Slide shows and pop-up confirmation boxes are two examples
of JavaScript. See Dreamcatchers Automobiles for lots of JavaScript in
action!
What about shopping carts and secure encrypted pages? I
am learning about that right now!
Will you update my site once it is online? Yes. The
cost depends on how many updates you need.
Will you teach me how do do my own updates? If you
want to invest in the software, I can give you lessons. My fees depend
on various factors.
Why should I choose you
to design my site? I am a Professional Web Designer.
I give my clients what they want at the best possible prices! I am
fast, efficient, and love what I do! Web Design is my business,
not just a hobby. I keep up to date with the latest design principles
and I will be there on down the road when you
need updates.
