General charges - website design
To help your budgetting, you may wish to pay by standing order, dividing the total cost into 10 equal monthly payments. There is an extra charge of £10 per year for this service. My price for a 6 page (or less) website is £50. Extra pages are £15 each. Website promotion in search engines is £15 for each set of keywords - I recommend at least 15 sets. Partner links scheme for Google is £60 a year. Hosting at £75 a year, pop3 email accounts are £10 per year each, registration is bi-annual and costs £50 for .com .net and .org and £25 for co.uk and org.uk Site maintenance is £50 per year. Or details on special packages.
For the annual charge of £50, I do the following at regular intervals throughout the year :- Update or make small alterations to the site. Offer the client any new discoveries, check the code in other browsers and screen resolutions, change the links or add more, contact the owner regarding any update of information, pictures or site design. At the end of the year, invoice and inform the client what was done. Update pics/text upon clients request throughout the year. This fee is not payable until one year from the original date of the invoice. Following Googles emphasis on links, I put an email form on your links page for other site owners to apply for a reciprocal link. This reply form gets emailed straight to me and I arrange the links. I also give you all the help you will need to find links for yourself, then I upload them for you. My charge for this service is only £60 a year, regardless of the number of links we get. Gradually your linkspage fills up and when you have fifty links, we will start a new page. The client retains ownership of the resources but I have ownership of the html script and passwords used to upload the site. The client is obliged to pay the annual maintenance fee (£50 + VAT) if the website has been created in accordance with the charges outlined above. If the client wishes to own the HTML code, there is no annual maintenance fee or support of any kind, the client is then responsible for his/her own alterations and hosting/registration renewal. The html code can be purchased for £635 + VAT. When submitting to search engines,you may not see much progress for two months or so (the robots do not hurry themselves!) I have spent a long time studying search engines and my strategy is this, I submit regularly keeping to the rules of each search engine. I work out which qualities your top competitors websites in each of the top search engines has got. (They must be the right ones otherwise they wouldn't be top ! ) Then I copy these qualities on to your site. (Different for every search engine.) My system is meticulous, quite technical and very time consuming. I have to be accurate and have the patience of a saint - but it works. With such persistence, needless to say, I am very successful. I will need to have some keywords or very short phrases which are relevant to your establishment. Separate each with a comma and a space. Do not repeat words, but include different spellings in case the person using the search engine cannot spell. |
