Affordable Web Design
After hearing small business owners’ frustration that they can’t afford a decent website, I created Affordable Web Design packages for you starting at $188. They’re great for a small or home–based business on a budget, or those who are just starting out. Pick a design and your website will be modeled after it, with customized color scheme, images, etc.

You will know the cost and the general look of your site before you sign or pay anything.
What You Get with Every Affordable Web Design:
- You own your website
- Some big companies don’t let you take your site with you if you want to move to a new hosting company, etc., but here, you own it. It’s yours, as it should be.
- You are Registrant of your domain
- Some companies hold your domain name hostage. Rest assured, you will be the official Registrant if you have me order your domain name. I am happy to give you resources to order it yourself, if you prefer.
- Personalized banner/main image of design
- I will edit the banner or main image of the Affordable Web Design you’ve chosen, using your logo and/or images that you supply. Custom designs cost extra.
- Customized color scheme
- I will use your logo or main image to create one color scheme for your website.
- User–friendly navigation system
- We need to make it easy for your visitors to find the information they need—it’s a way of showing respect.
- Your text and images inserted
- Your content will be integrated into the design—no coding or technical knowledge is needed on your part.
- XML sitemap
- This is not the Sitemap page you see on websites. Instead, it is a specially coded file to make your web pages easy to find by Google and other search engines.
- Upload to your web host and test functionality
- Again, no technical knowledge is needed from you. I’ll upload your content to make your site live.
- Know what you will pay before you commit
- You can see the prices before you choose your design. If you want extras that cost more, they will be added to your quote before you sign on the dotted line.
More Free Options for “Classic” & “Premium” Designs, Upon Request:
- SEO
- SEO (Search Engine Optimization) improves your site’s visibility in natural search results. Although I am not an SEO Expert, I do build standard into websites: basic metatags, image optimization, image alt text, headlines, etc. These all come together to make your website more search engine friendly. If you want serious SEO, I can refer you to an expert.
- Simple contact form
- We can plug in a simple contact form, instead of listing your email address. This helps to prevent spam.
- Social media integration
- Let me know before we start, and I’ll add FaceBook, Twitter, and your other social media information. I have a nice selection of icons, and will get the best I can find to match your site.
- Google Fonts
- Up to 3 Google Fonts will be added to your website, if requested before work is started.
- Google Analytics setup
- I am happy to set up Google Analytics so that you can track visitors, search keywords being used, etc.
- HTML sitemap
- A visual sitemap page (in addition to the xml page noted above) can be included.
- Ongoing web support
- For continuing clients, I offer free answers to those questions that come up down the road, such as quick questions about FaceBook and blogs, Paypal and shopping carts, etc. However, consultations and research projects will need to be scheduled and charged hourly.
Time spent on extras, including structural changes, photo galleries, Paypal/ecommerce, consultations, etc, will be charged at the regular hourly rate plus out–of–pocket expenses.
