Design, Installation and Setup of Your Web Site - $600

1. Why should my business have a web site?

   "Let's tell the world what you can do." If nobody knows about it, does a business exist? Not for long! You need to tell people who you are, where you are and what you can do for them. Together, "let's tell the world what you can do" with your web site.

   Even people down the street may find you on the web without knowing that you existed before they saw you on the web. It's the best advertising for the investment. Other advertising costs twice as much for one fifth of the impact and one tenth the time exposure. The web site provides lots of information about your company, while ads in other forms provide very little.

   Even if your business is down the street, many of your customers will be using an Internet search to find products and services close to them.

   The web site is a permanent promotional tool rather than one-time ads and it provides your customers with easy access to your company whenever they need it. They can get fast and complete answers to their questions, at their convenience.

   Catch up to where your customers are shopping - online and around the clock.

2. Who will do the work on my web site and will I have personal contact with that person?

   Pictured here is Gary Ritner, your technical web developer. He will work with you in person, by phone, by email and with samples online to make the site what you want it to be. Gary has many years of experience as a web site manager. Included in this packet are some samples of the web sites of some of his current clients online. You can see all you ever wanted to know about him at www.garyritner.org/GaryResume.html and samples of his work can be found at the bottom of this page. Gary started and has managed the Minnesota United Methodist Church web site for the last ten years and he has also managed an independent web development business for many years. Your project will have high priority. He usually fulfills requests for creation of pages and features and changes within 48 hours. Gary will consult with Pam Armstrong on many design and artistic issues to be sure that you have a site that provides maximum positive impact for your potential clients.

3. What is it likely to cost me for my web site for one year?

   In the first thirty days, we will work with you to set up your web site. All the work and costs to get you on the web with a unique web address with your company name will cost $900. If you want to make changes after the setup period of thirty days, they can be made at a cost of $40 an hour. Small changes in details are likely to be accomplished in fifteen minutes for only $10. Most sites are set up and only a few changes are made after that with the cost for one year being less than $1,000.

4. What is it likely to cost me for my web site after one year?

   In the second year, hosting and management fees with no changes will cost $300. Changes can be made at a cost of $40 an hour. Small changes in details are likely to be accomplished in fifteen minutes for only $10. Most sites will cost $300 in the second year and following years.

   The contract is for one year, but the domain registration, hosting and hosting management fee for the second year will be $300 and a contract will be signed for another year at that time.
