With
the increase in popularity of the Internet, most businesses, organizations
and individuals have web sites. I can create one for you at a reasonable
price if you don’t want to do it yourself. Remember, you will need to
arrange your own web space or it may come free of charge through
your Internet provider. However most people prefer their own domain name and associated webspace which looks much more professional.
The charge for a
web site will depend on the number of pages you want and whether or not
you can provide the information on disk so that it doesn’t have to be
typed up. There may also be the usual charges for scanning graphics or
tables etc for adding to the site. I can also maintain the site and upload the information for you
on request.
It needn't be expensive to have a presence on the web. If you want a simple site, one page might be enough. I charge from £95 for the design work - this may include giving you a few different layouts and schemes to choose from, adding a counter and tracker if required etc. Once this has been agreed, it is £20 for laying out and uploading each page
to your own webspace if you can provide typed text for me to work with. Otherwise there is a
charge for typing up. So a one-page site would be from £115 (layout plus one page).
A complete package
If you want me to buy a co.uk domain and one year's hosting and webspace for you and then layout and upload a site, the full cost for a three page site as of 2010 would be around:
Domain name + hosting + webspace - £85
Design - £95
3 pages @ £20 each - £60 (add £20 for every extra page)
Total - £240
And then what?
If you don't want to maintain your own site I can do this for you. The price varies according to the size of the site and other factors. As a guide, for individuals the cost of site maintenance is £25/quarter and for organisations £25/month, for sites that I also laid out. If it is a pre-existing site laid out by someone else the cost is £35/quarter (individual) or £35/month (organisation). This includes making changes to existing pages - adding new membership details for example or changing a page advertising forthcoming events. Completely new pages are charged at £20 each because they have to be integrated into the existing site. If you don't want to pay a regular fee a one-off update is a basic £20 per page.
Lost Sites
Sometimes it happens - you forget to renew your webspace and your site gets wiped when the space expires. I can upload a 'lost' site for £25. This includes minor editing if necessary.
Add-ons
I can add sound effects and animated graphics to the site, or set up a bulletin board / forum or add password protection to particular pages. Some features incur an extra charge.
For example, I can add a form (for contact, feedback etc) that will email its results to you. The layout can be customised to your own needs and integrated into your site. This add-on costs £20 for the initial layout and then £15 each year. A slideshow of photos costs from £10.
PayPal produce a very good shopping cart which I can set up to work with your own PayPal account and test etc from £30.
A more economical alternative
If you want a presence on the Internet but don't want the expense of your own domain name and lots of webspace, I can design a single page site for you and put it onto my own site in the format: www.syntax2000.co.uk/yourname/yourname.html
The page would have a basic design of header, optional logo, your choice of text, a few photos if you want to add them. I would also add keywords and a description for the search engines to use plus an optional counter/tracker.There are three demo pages here, here and here: These are for cat and dog breeders but they could equally apply to other uses or professions.
The cost would be just £60
for the design work and uploading the page. After that updates to the page would be £10 a time (eg if you added new photos, details of the
latest litter etc). More pages can be added for £20 each either at that time or a later date. There would be an annual hosting fee of £25 after the first year.
This still work out considerably cheaper for you than buying your own domain name, webspace and hosting. The search engines would find your pages just as easily as if you'd bought your own domain.
An existing site can be moved to my own webspace from £30/year depending on size.
Please contact me for a full estimate. In the mean time, here are a few of the sites I've worked on so you can visit them and see the quality. Some are up for visual info only as they have since lapsed.
Disclaimer: I am happy to take on some sites that have been designed and laid out by someone else. However we all work differently and there is a possibility of complications working with someone else's code. I back up websites before working on them, for security. But I must point out that work done on someone else's site is at your own risk.
