Web Design
Pricing is based on a flat hourly rate, and may vary greatly based on the size and content of the site. My current hourly rate is $45.00/hour. To discuss costs for your project, please contact me.
Getting on the Web
To get your site up and running, you will also need a domain name and hosting, which are recurring (monthly or annual) costs.
Domain Name Registration
For the best prices, I recommend registering domain names at MyDomain.com
Budget Hosting Plans
I have put together a few simple, low cost, hosting plans to meet the needs of clients who do not require all the disk space and bandwidth provided by a typical hosting company's starter plan.
| Hosting Plan | Disk Space | Xfer | Annual $ |
| Ultra-Lite | 10 MB | .2 GB | $15.00 |
| Lite | 20 MB | .5 GB | $20.00 |
| Basic | 40 MB | 1 GB | $30.00 |
| Bronze | 100 MB | 2 GB | $45.00 |
| Silver | 150 MB | 4 GB | $60.00 |
| Gold | 250 MB | 6 GB | $75.00 |
| Platinum | 400 MB | 10 GB | $120.00 |
Selling on the Web: eCommerce
I've used a variety of shopping cart options over the years. PayPal is a good bare bones choice if you're not ready for the costs associated with a merchant account. It can also be used as a payment method with other shopping carts. SecureNetShop is my top choice for a full service cart. If you're on a tight budget, Mal's e-commerce is still the best bargain on the internet. While it does not offer all of the features of SecureNetShop, it is a good, solid, basic cart with a secure server at an incredible price (Free!).
