Web Design

Design

Websites are custom built, from the ground up. You will find no template web construction for your website design here. All our websites begin with an initial consultation to figure out what you need, and what you don't need. Image comps are then presented so the design can be further tweaked to your specification and to see what works best. From there, the framework for the website is hand coded using the latest CSS and XHTML techniques.

Coding

Image rollovers, graphic changes and page layout all flow seamlessly together using CSS to present design apart from content. This assures a fast loading site which is also easily maintained, updated or changed. PHP is most often used as the site architecture, to ensure a dynamic and effective site construction.

Publishing

Your website will be viewable live during its entire construction, so you may comment as necessary. When the final website is complete, it is delivered to you or published on your server. Hosting is available upon request.

Graphic Design

Finding good and creative graphic design is essential for furthering your website and reaching your customers or viewers. As a freelance graphic designer in Chicago, you will work with me exclusively on your project.

Pricing

There is no flat rate for website design. Website design depends on a number of factors, such as the size and depth of the site, interactivity, and website construction / design paramaters. An average website costs between $800 and $2000 dollars. Half of payment is due at signing.

SEO Services also depend on the depth of site and conversion tactics used. SEO is usually around $300 - $800 for a typical site. Graphic design is based on the scope of the project, timeline and detail/work involved. Typically, a flat rate is assigned, with half due up front.

Turnaround time for an entire website takes about a month depending on communication and size of the project.
