We’ll help you pick the best platform:

Squarespace is inexpensive, full featured, very flexible and makes it easy for you to update your own site. We have experience developing on the Squarespace platform. We’ll design it, set it up and give you the controls or maintain it for you if you like.

== Here’s what you’ll get >>

We’re happy to help you set up and design your PayPal, Foxycart or Shopify eCommerce site.

We can design, re-design, and help you develop your Wordpress blog, or privately hosted sites as well.

Good Design

How long will it take to build my site?

Simple websites can take as little as 2 weeks to complete, larger more complex websites may take anywhere from 1 to 5 months (or more).

Do you offer an initial consultation?
Yes. An initial consultation is free. During consultations we’ll provide answers to problems, suggest cost-saving options, and point you to various service solutions and resources.

Can I make changes during the design process?
We work into all of our package pricing and custom proposals one or two design tweaks at no charge. After that, revisions and updates are processed at our hourly rate.

Can I update my site myself after it’s built?
Yes, if you host your site with Squrespace, or Wordpress you’ll get a “feature rich” Content Management System that will make it easy for you to update your content, images, everything yourself.

Do you offer Flash development?
Yes, we build custom Flash apps and create interactive applications using coded tools as well. They are very affordable.

Keep costs down … Plan, Communicate, Organize:
Changing the color of that graphic on your website from blue to purple is no problem, but changing it from blue to purple, then to orange (because your brother likes orange), then to green because one of your employees thought that might work, back to blue after all … will definitely add to your overall cost.

You may choose to pay hourly for any site coding, updates, or custom work. Typical hourly services:

Design work and custom coding.
Communication/consultations including phone calls and emails (that take more than 5 or so minutes)

Training. A typical one hour Squarespace training session includes: how to create new pages and update my pages in Squarespace, how to install graphics and manage my blog and gallery configuration pages, how to manipulate menu items and add a Widget to a side column.
