The cost of your website is determined by the complexity and desired content, which is why I wish to discuss your needs prior to providing a quotation. You’ll be pleased to know that STS charges less than most commercial developers. Note that some website designers charge a monthly fee for updates whether you need an update or not. Small Towne Solutions only charges for updates you request. ** Hosting and domain registration fees are not included in design costs. Hosting fees are typically $10.00 - $15.00 per month, while domain registration fees are typically $25.00 - $35.00 annually. You are free to choose your domain host, or I can put you in touch with the local host I prefer who will help you choose and register a domain name. **

A note about so-called “Do It Yourself” and “Free”

websites

You’ve probably seen the advertisements about “free” websites like Wix, Weebly and GoDaddy that claim you can design your own website. Use of these products is not “web design”. There are lots of bad examples of websites that were “designed” on Weebly and Wix that are poor on many fronts. They don’t display properly, they’re not pleasing to the eye, and they’re technically inferior, thus leading to poor search ranking. And they’re a bad reflection on the businesses that use them. These template-driven sites only permit you to fill in the blanks in a fixed design that may not be optimized for your needs. It’s important to note that if you use one of these sites, you do not own your website. And unless you know how to include Search Engine Optimization (SEO) in your website design, it’s not likely that your site will rank highly in search results. STS does not employ templates. Each website starts out as a blank page and hence, is truly unique. You own your website and it’s contents. STS manages it for you. In addition, STS will ensure that your search engine listings clearly identify your business, provide address, phone and email contact information, and a link to your website. The vast majority of my clients have stated they’d rather spend their time doing what they do best - running their businesses. Provide me with the content that you wish to promote your business and I’ll design a website that will put your business on the World Wide Web. I’ll do the rest and make sure you’re happy with the final product before publishing.
