Packaged Services

Website Development (1-6 Pages Brochure Website): $800

E-Commerce Development (1-12 pages, 100 products): $1,000

Have a design or a theme that you want to use, but don’t have the patience or the skills to get your content into it?

Let me put my years of experience to use for you. I can take even one static image of your design, add interactivity, add responsiveness, and optimize your content to get word about you and your business on the web and into the waiting hands of your current and future customers.

Website Design (1-6 Pages Brochure Website): $400

E-Commerce Design (1-12 pages, Product, Category, and Search designs): $600

Don’t even have a design? No problem. I do entry level design work for businesses just like yours. We’ll work together to find a color scheme, design elements, that suit you and your business. With two included revisions, there’s plenty of time for you to zero in on that feel that is “just right”.

And if you use me for the development as well, I’ll discount you $200. That means you can have a functional brochure website for just $1,000, or an E-Commerce website (online store) for just $1,400.

Responsive Retrofitting, Starting at $400

So, you have already placed a sizable investment in an existing website, but that was a few years ago. Now statistics are showing that around half of all traffic is on some kind of mobile device. Web design firms keep hitting you with buzz words like responsive design, but you can’t justify the expense.

You’re not stuck looking in at all the new slick websites. While all these web design companies are right, sleek new websites can attract new users and keep them there, that kind of investment isn’t always an option.

For those people I suggest a compromise. Rather than a whole new website, I can work with your existing website to retrofit responsiveness into it. It won’t deliver the same results as a full redesign, but it can help retain your current users now interacting mainly on tablets and phones.

Even if your business relies on a small set of regular clients, a little convenience goes a long way in customer confidence, and website redesigns can always be taken in manageable stages.

Website Recovery: Starting at $200

Websites are targets of all sorts of malicious activity these days. If attackers aren’t after information in your database, they may be after using your website as a stepping off point to attack other vulnerable websites. If they do manage to get into your website, it is highly likely that they will create multiple re-entry points for themselves, meaning that if your website is not completely recovered and hardened, you will be dealing with the same problem in a couple of month’s time, if not sooner.

I’ve made attackers and pen testers alike curse my name with my hardening techniques, and I’ve had significant experience searching hostings for intruders, back-doors, and intrusion points.

I also offer my recovery services at significant discounts to anyone using my website and hosting management services.

Website Optimization: Starting at $75.00

People don’t have the patience they used to. Our culture and marketing has taught consumers to expect almost instantaneous results, so those first few seconds someone visits your website can be the most important.

If your website is losing visitors because your content doesn’t load in those first few seconds, I can help. Each website is different, but I have experience with both multimedia rich and text rich websites. By clever application of compression, reorganization, caching, and many other techniques, I have always left websites noticeably faster than I found them.

SEO Business Profile Setup: $100

Being mindful of SEO on your website isn’t enough. If you want your business to appear on the map at Google and Bing, you have to set up business profiles. This involves data entry, verifying the existence of your business, and a number of other tasks that can end up taking weeks before they’re finally resolved completely.

I’ve set up profiles for businesses without addresses, for businesses without phone lines, and all sorts of other edge cases. I have the experience to walk you through the whole process and remove most, if not all, of the stress. We’ll meet via video call to do the initial data entry, and there will be one or more followups over the phone to verify your business. I will take care of the rest.

Domain Transfers: Starting at $100

Have a domain through GoDaddy, Name.com, or any other business but you’re tired of their service, or just want it managed by someone else?

I do domain transfers. I’ve tracked down domains from businesses that closed years ago. I’ve recovered domains from funeral estates, and I will happily sit and talk to whatever customer support on your behalf to get your domain under the control of whoever you choose, and if we have to refer your case onto a lawyer, which in my experience is incredibly rare, I’ll be happy to help provide any technical information they require.

Don’t let companies take advantage of you just because you may not have the technical experience they do. Let me advocate for you and ensure you have full control over your property.

Data Cleanup & Import: Starting at $500

The internet is always changing. That Tumblr you put together a few years ago to reach out to customers may not be reaching the same audience anymore, as users move from platform to platform. That doesn’t mean the content is worthless to you. It can be recycled and reused on new platforms, and reformatting it for a new location isn’t something you have to allocate hundreds of hours to do manually. I have extensive experience building custom automated systems to move and clean data between systems.

Have an old Access database you need transferred to a Linux server? I’ve done that.

Need to move your Wix or SquareSpace website to a hosting platform where you can fully own and control your website? I’ve done that.

Have a new eCommerce platform that you want to move to, but don’t have the time to move your hundreds or thousands of products by hand? I’ve done that.

Need to import your static website into an easier to manage platform like WordPress? I’ve done that too.

Managed Web Hosting: $25.00 Monthly

Look keeping on top of your website can be hard, especially if you’re not used to it, or don’t know what you should be looking at.

With my managed web hosting package, you get everything you would get from a host like GoDaddy, and I will log into your web hosting every month to ensure that everything is up to date and as secure as it can be.

If the worst happens anyway, and you need a website recovery you will receive a 50% discount on that service.

You may also be eligible for discounted labor on website and SEO updates.

Managed Website: $100.00 Monthly

With this package, you get everything in the hosting package with several additional benefits:

You get 1 hour of work on your website covered by your monthly payment. From website updates, SEO tweaking, or adding a completely different page, it doesn’t matter it’s already paid for.

Your website will be automatically backed up on a monthly basis, and I will maintain up to six complete backups for you, and restore them at any point at your request.

Your website recovery discount will be increased to 90%. If the worst happens, I will do a complete website recovery and intrusion report for just $20.

Logo Vectoring: $75.00

You designed your own logo, but you used what you had: Microsoft Word, Paint, PowerPoint or any number of other programs. Maybe it’s not the best logo you could have, but you like it, and your customers like it. Then when you bring it to a printing service, they tell you it’s too small.

There’s a solution to that. I can take your logo, and turn it into a vector drawing that can be scaled to whatever size you need. You can then provide your new vector logo to printers for everything from business cards to giant banners.

Hourly Services: $100 Per Hour

$100 is the base rate. Discounts will be applied for customers who buy hours upfront, are purchasing any of the packaged services above, or have an existing good business relationship with me.

Consultation

The world is full of designers and developers who want to sell you expensive services, but their buzzwords and jargon are all too much to keep track of. In moments like that you need an objective third party who is more familiar with the industry and what is possible. Ideally it should be someone who is willing to get to know you, your business, and your needs.

I’ve worked for design companies, and I’ve seen the way the less scrupulous ones attempt to prey on business owners and decision makers who don’t know better. If you need a second set of eyes, or want to know how honest someone is being with you, I give straight answers and will work with you to ensure you have a good understanding of what is realistic for your business and most importantly your budget.

Website Maintenance

Websites need regular maintenance, just like your car. They need to be examined for out of date code, touched up here and there to reflect what you’ve learned about your clients and how they use it. They need SSL certificates managed and installed. Domains need to be renewed.

I have extensive experience, repairing, recovering, and maintaining websites. Everything from data entry to working with your hosting provider to recover a website you’ve lost control of.

Custom Work

Want to build a materials calculator, create a form that is unique to your industry, or pursue a project that falls outside what you can easily find solutions for? I live for challenges, and am available for custom projects at hourly and project rates.

Send me a description of what you want to accomplish, and I will let you know what I think it will cost.
