Let us build you a customized WordPress website with your information, links, and pictures!
Choose your own domain name from available names. Examples:
yourcompany.com
yourcompany.net
yourcompany.org
yourcompany.biz
your-company.com
Standard costs typically include:
–Yearly Web Hosting fees $75 to $300, depending on the hosting package – This is what the hosting company charges to store your website’s space on their servers. Costs vary depending on the type of website, number of pages, features, and traffic to your site.
–Yearly Domain registration fee $15 – This is what a domain registrar charges each year to reserve your website’s name on the internet.
–Yearly Security Certificate Fee (SSL) $40 – This is a hosting company fee for a Secure Sockets Layer to make your website secure. Your website address changes from starting with http: to https: and makes a little green padlock appear next to your website’s name, which shows that your website’s transmitted data is encrypted. When an SSL certificate is used, the information becomes unreadable to everyone except for the secure server you are sending the information to.
–Initial Setup Costs – Ask for an estimate. These costs vary, depending on your type of website, number of pages, and complexity of features, themes, and plugins. We find out what overall look you want your website to have and which features you would like to incorporate, such as social media integration, shopping cart, responsive design (mobile-ready), menus, galleries, testimonials, videos, or blogs. Estimates will be provided of the number of hours and behind-the-scenes work needed to plan each section of the site and understand how they will be integrated with each other. An assortment of tools, services, and options will be discussed. Once you agree to the costs, a down payment will be made and the software, theme, and plugins will be selected, installed, and updated, so the work of customizing your website with your pictures, information, links, and services can begin. Meetings will be held with you as needed for your approval of the work until the website is completed. If you need to migrate your existing domain and data into a new site, it will take additional time and effort in interacting with your previous hosting company to get it moved into your new site.
–Website Maintenance – ask for an estimate. Website maintenance is much more than the initial design and development. The WordPress software itself is a constantly changing engine which requires frequent software, theme, and plugin updates for security and compatibility. These updates are done on a weekly basis, sometimes more, to make sure your site is up to date and secure. Also, as your company continues to grow, it is normal for you to have changes in your employees and services, so time is set aside for those types of updates, as well.
Search Engine Reviews – ask for an estimate. What do search engines say about your business? If you haven’t taken the time to verify ownership on each one and input your own accurate information, then most of them will have missing information, false information, and possibly even bad reviews about your business that potential customers, as well as other sites such as the Better Business Bureau will see. This can affect your business scores, your reputation, and your bottom line. We can periodically check search engines such as Google, BBB, Bing, Healthgrades, Manta, Mapquest, Superpages, White pages, Yahoo, Yellow pages, Yelp, and Facebook to see what is out there, manually go in and make corrections, and notify you when bad reviews need to be answered, or when good reviews are posted.
Free website development training – is also offered to you or a member of your staff, at no cost, on how to edit and update your website as often as you like, if you would like the ability to edit and control your own website!
