Web Services
| Web Site Design |
My main business is site design. I have been doing this
for well over thirteen years now, so I reckon that I am pretty
good at it. One of my first rules is to keep it simple, not
too fancy, and make sure that the information that is needed
by the user is easily found.
My basic rate for web design is $50 per hour with a $50 per page minimum. For larger sites with many pages, the minimum page cost may be reduced to $25 per page, keeping the costs for larger sites more manageable.
|
| Web Site Maintenance |
Along with the basic site design, I offer a site maintenance
service for sites that I create as well. If something needs
to be changed, just send the changes to me and they will be
taken care of. Please note that this is only available on
sites that I initially had created.
Charges for Ongoing Web Maintenance* is $20 per month. If you decide to pay for a years' service in advance, I'll deduct $40 from the total.
*Maintenance is considered as fixing typos, updating page content, links, etc. while keeping the general page layout the same. If the layout is to be changed, then that is considered 'site design' and is outside the scope of 'Ongoing Web Maintenance', and will be charged accordingly.

| Web Consultation |
If you don't need me to build or host your site, but you
still want some help in figuring out how to do this or that,
I can likely help you out. Often just a critical look at a
site can help to point out areas that need a bit of work to
make it more user friendly.
The rate for web consultation is $50 per hour.

| Web Site Hosting |
I can, if required, provide basic web hosting services on my private dedicated web server. This service is for web services only, and at the moment, I have no plans to offer FTP or e-commerce. I also limit
the number of sites that are hosted on my machine to keep
system response at a good level.
Charges for basic web hosting with a shell account is $20 per month + bandwidth useage at a rate of $5 per GB over 2GB per month. For yearly contracts paid in advance, I'll again deduct $40 from the total (bandwidth charges may still apply).
If you are looking for a good site host, I'd recommend Rawbandwidth. Send Mike Durkin an e-mail and tell him that I sent you his way.

Following is a short list of a few of the sites that I have designed over the

being maintained by the site owners. Several of these sites are
also hosted on my server.
