About myself and the services I provide

 

Full Website Design
The cost of a website will vary significantly depending on the scope of the project. A basic website project, including reserving a domain name, acquiring a hosting service and designing a basic web site consisting of 5 pages of content, will generally cost €450. This price includes the design, a contact form, 5 additional pages of content, and a 1-year reservation of a domain and web hosting. A reasonable estimate for original web design is €90/page for the first five pages. The cost will drop significantly after those first five pages, as the majority of the cost lies in the original design.

Please keep in mind that a new website will take up to 6 months to be fully indexed by all search engines and accessible by everyone.


All web sites I design will encompass best practice web design principles:
A commitment to web standards.
Careful attention to web accessibility.
Attentiveness to search engine friendly design.

As special features, custom programming, and more complex navigational schemes are introduced, prices rise as well. For this reason, all projects require a detailed plan describing the scope of the project.

 
Brochure designs
I have extensive expertise in taking your company brochure and converting it to a website design using colours and photographs from your brochure, being accessible for your prospective customers.

 
Update and redesign of existing websites
All site redesigns must be negotiated individually. If you only want to keep the content of the site with a completely new design this will be considered a new design, as above. It is usually more difficult and time consuming to apply web accessibility to an existing design than to start from scratch.

 
Develop your website from an existing design
Already have a talented graphic designer in mind or on staff? That is fine — I can work with your designer to realise your website in an accessible and search-engine friendly manner. I may require minor changes in the design in order to maximize search engine effectiveness or accessibility, but that is not a problem.
