for money: website design

I craft crisp, clean, fast-loading sites for small businesses. I also create brilliant logos, taglines, and marketing copy.

You: An entrepreneur with a great small-business that is just starting or growing fast or well-established.  You are responsible for every aspect of running your show, and the thought of muddling through things like CNAME records or hosting plans makes your skin crawl.  You know you need a website, and you could try to do one yourself, but really, you would rather someone else take care of it.  And you would really like it if that person spoke English, not just Technology.

Me: An entrepreneur who loves CNAME records and people who need them.  I can help you sort your online identity, draft website copy that accurately reflects your brand and image, create your logo and marketing material, deal with GoDaddy tech support calls, set up your Facebook page, email accounts, internet telephony, and put you on Google maps.  I can hand code your vision, or customize your Blooger or WordPress blog, or pimp your Google Sites webpage.  Together, we will refine your brand and its graphic representation.  From single page quickies to multi-page marathons, I craft visually pleasing, clean, organized websites that load quickly, connect you with clients, and that you can easily update yourself.

How much does it cost?
$500 for a basic 5-page site where you provide the graphics and copy, and I do all the coding and technical work to get your URL working.  This includes a Google Places listing.

After that, things go a lá carte at $60/hour for copy writing, photography, image editing, social media tie-ins, graphics manipulation, optimization, and coding.

Have detailed design requirements, or technical specifications like shopping carts and PayPal buttons?  Need a logo, corporate image, or marketing material? Let's talk about your project, and I can give you a quote.
