Great question! Remember the old saying 'you get what you pay for'? It definitely applies here. When creating a marketing tool as powerful as a web site that must properly represent your business, you want it built by someone who can code your site efficiently, not just make it look good. A web site is an important investment in your business and can make a difference in sales.

In hiring a professional, you are not only paying them to 'do the work', but to code the pages effectively, which is what they do on a daily basis. In addition, when an issue arises you receive personalized help from a developer vs. being passed around on the telephone by a larger conglomerate. I have obtained many Clients for this reason alone!

There are many elements and considerations when creating web sites. The investment in hiring a professional to create an effective marketing tool is well worth it in the long-run.

It all depends on how elaborate the client wants their web site. It can be as short as a one-page 'business card' (which would only take one day), to a fully integrated, six or more page site with dynamic integration (database-driven), multiple images, streaming video, etc. A web site of this size can take several weeks to build.

Another factor that needs to be considered is how quickly the client provides us with the materials or information we need to build the site and how many times they make updates before it goes live.

Yes, there are many choices for you. A streaming video can be created from a segment of a VHS or digital video movie; or flash presentations can be used to animate text and images that are suited for your business. Generally, the time-frame is approximately two - three days - depending on which medium you choose and how long it takes you to have all of your materials to us.

First, as a small business, we are able to keep our over-head expenses down.

The second and most important reason we keep our fees low is to honor our original commitment to our Clients. We cater to personal needs and medium and small businesses; we understand budget constraints and work out solutions with our Clients. We continue to honor this commitment by keeping our development costs as low as possible. At the writing of this page, we haven't raised our rates in over five years!

But... don't let our low fees fool you! Our clients will attest to the quality of our work, our work ethics, and ability to deliver professional web sites that bring the same results as any large, expensive web designing firms.

Unfortunately, no. Our expertise is in website and web application design. We only offer services to enhance or alter existing photos.
