Every small business is unique, and so are their website needs. What is not unique to every business owner is that they all seem to want three things from their web experience:

1. They want a website that works.
   It must sell their product or service effectively, without "breaking down" or requiring a lot of effort on their part.
2. They don’t want to pay an arm and a leg for their site.
   They want honest service without hidden fees, upcharges, or services they don’t understand or need.
3. They want a website developer who understands their needs.
   The developer should be able to ask questions about the business and create a personalized plan for their needs.

Instead of creating a one-size-fits-all package, I have created a program that combines the unique needs of your business with the cost-cutting measures of using existing tools to make your site. This service model will save you thousands in web development costs, while never making you feel like you are getting less than top-notch, personalized service.

Your complete website package may include:

• A new install or upgrade of content management software
  By using the power of open-source content management systems (such as WordPress), you can save money on development costs while still maintaining the ability to easily add, edit or delete content on your site — all with no coding experience necessary.
• A customized premium theme
  Using an existing theme allows me to save time and money by tapping into already-built framework, while customizing each theme allows your small business to have specific, on-target messaging and powerful branding
• Added functionality
  Make your website work for you! Use technology to interact with your users and pull them into your sales cycle through the use of blogs, calendars, and contact forms.
• Expanded search engine optimization (SEO) capabilities.
  A website will not do your business any good if no one can find it! I can make your site do the work to bring in search traffic — all you have to do is create content that your users will like.
• An XML sitemap
  Your site will have connections to Google and other search engines built right in, and will notify the search engines every time you make a change.
• Word-of-mouth marketing tools
  You can speak directly to your customers through newsletters and social media, making it easy for them to refer you to others.
• Integration of API services
  Flickr, Facebook, Twitter, Etsy, PayPal and Google Checkout all have programming interfaces to connect them to your site for easy e-commerce, cross-promotion, and social media marketing applications.

The not-so-fine print: The $399 website is billed with $200 deposit due at project start and $199 due 30 days later or at the project launch, which ever comes first. If your project will be more than $399, I will send you a clear statement of charges before the project begins. Your balance due can be paid with check, credit card, PayPal or Google Checkout.
