RATES

Website
Creation

$50-60 per web page:  New development, varies depending on work involved. A website with 5 pages such as osuwebcat.com would cost $250-300.

$15 per year:  Domain registration (must renew each year). Client may also choose to maintain domain registration.

Client chooses webhost and is responsible for maintaining account with webhost. This fee is completely separate from website design & maintenance fees. As a guide, webhosting is available for as little as $10 per month, plus a small set-up fee. We can assist you with securing a webhost, if desired.

Minimum of the Standard Maintenance Plan of $30 per month for up to 1/2 hour per month is required for websites we are creating and maintaining.
 

Website
Maintenance

Standard Plan:  $30 per month for up to 1/2 hour per month
As a guide, for typical websites, this is enough time to add approximately 5 photos and a few paragraphs of text.

Advanced Plan:  $55 per month for up to 1 hour per month

Flexible Plan:  $50 per hour, choose any number of hours over 1 hour per month

These plans include standard website maintenance: text changes, picture changes, changes to links, general changes to existing web content, etc.


Changes must be submitted in writing, so there is a record of exactly what work is to be performed.

The typical turn around time on standard maintenance requests is 3 business days.

We will never exceed the ½ hour, or whatever the allotted time is based on the plan you've agreed to, unless specifically requested to do so by you. (We'll advise you in advance if you request something that is not likely to fit into your plan.) If you do request more work than will fit in your plan, we will gladly provide you with a proposal on the project based on the time we expect it to take. Additional time will be billed at $60.00 per hour.

Our website maintenance plans also include the following:

  • File backup

  • Periodically monitoring the validity of the links on your site

  • Periodically checking the SEO (search engine optimization) of your site and making adjustments to be sure your site is continually ranking high on major search engines (Google, Yahoo, MSN, etc).

Additional
Tasks
$50-60 per web page:  Adding a page or pages to an existing website.

$60 per hour:

These types of tasks will generally take more than 3 business days to complete and we would provide you with a proposal before starting this type of project.
