  • 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.
