Basic Charges

• Hourly Rate - a basic charge for my services, not applicable to package prices except where charged as an excess for extra work.£20 per hour
  
  
• Hosting - ALL packages require hosting. Hosting is what enables your site to be visible on the internet and is charged yearly.   Without hosting, your site would only be visible on the computer on which it was designed, and no one except the person using that computer would be able to access it.  I can design sites for you without hosting if you want to find your own hosting provider, bear in mind that you may have to use ftp and also learn about configuring servers.  The fee for hosting also includes basic site care which ensures your site runs smoothly all year round and allows for basic content updates on all the pages on your site.£75 per year

Package Prices

All packages are presented both online and on a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM so there is always a hard copy of your site if you need to restore it, or re-host it.

Additionals

• Back Ups - If your site contains a database or discussion board, then the data in your site will constantly be changing and it is a good idea to back up your data to protect yourself from data loss.  It is also possible to discuss the cost of a set number of regular back-ups which I can do at a reduced price.

  £20 each
  

• Custom Forms - These are tailor made customer contact forms suited to your business requirements.

  £30
  

• Discussion Boards - If you need the capability to host a discussion board on your site for people to share information, debate, or perhaps even to act as a support forum, I can install one for you and incorporate your overall website design theme into it.£200
  
  
• Directory Submissions - I can submit your site and/or business details to local directories, national directories, specialist directories or any combination of those.  This will help to increase the availability of your business to customers who use directory listings as opposed to search engines.

• Search Engine Optimisation - Ad-Hoc - If you need your site to be found easily by people surfing the net for a particular product or service, I can optimise the code in your site so that search engines will list your site.  This is a one off charge and can be done each time you request it.

• Search Engine Submission (simple) - I can submit your site to the major search engines, such as Google, Yahoo and Alta Vista.  This will allow your site to feature in the search results they return, but will not guarantee you a place in the top results, you will need paid or sponsored listings to do this, and they are priced according to each project.
