REQUIRED SERVICES

• Domain name: $35 per year. As described on the Services page, the domain name is your web site address. Your web site address is set up through a separate company known as a domain registrar. The cost with a reputable registrar is about $35 per year, less if you register for more than one year.
• Web site hosting: About $15 per month. As described in the Services page, a web site host is simply a company that has a special computer, known as a server, connected to the internet. This is where your web site files reside. A reliable hosting service is about $10 - $15 per month, which is suitable for most small businesses. Hosting for much larger sites may cost more.

OPTIONAL SERVICES

• Search engines & web site promotion: Any web site I design is optimized for basic search engine readability. Generally, the results are very good. However, for those who desire it, more expensive and advanced services are available from Search Engine Optimization firms (SEO's).
• Visitor tracking: This is a highly recommended but optional service. Visitor tracking monitors the number of visitors to your site. There is no additional cost for this service.  I sign you up for Google Analytics, a free service, where you get detailed information about the number of visitors, which pages they viewed and for how long, how they found your site, etc. This information can be very useful for making your site work better for you in reaching your customers.
• Site updates & maintenance: If you or your staff has the capabilities, I can show you how to make minor updates to your site. If you prefer, I can do the updates for an hourly rate, or we can enter into a maintenance contract. Depending on the amount of work, I can bill you by the month, by the quarter, or bill you as updates are made.
