To get your web site started, you will need:

• Web Design. Depending what you need on your site: $399 basic site -
  all the way to $5k – $10k+ for e-Commerce.

Individuals normally don’t get a website from a designer, but rather choose to create their own site with a hosting companies online tools. In this situation, it’s beneficial to learn some HTML and CSS. I charge $30 per hour for assistance in this area.

Businesses can and should hire a professional to design their website. You will be able to run your business and do what you know best and have the designer create your online experience for your customer.

My prices are lower than other graphic designers because I try to create a more basic design and get the design out in a few weeks instead of a few months. If your company is going nation wide and you need more than one designer in the creative process, my design services may not fit your needs. I have very good design ideas, no employees and low overhead. My fees reflect that.
