Design Services

Attention! Beginning in September 2019 we will be moving to new Domain and Hosting partners. 

Please note over the next couple months starting in September 2019 many of our options are going to change as we start partnering with new companies.  We are shifting from GoDaddy to NameSilo and NameCheap for domain name registrations and transfers. All future domain registrations and/or transfers will include free WHOIS privacy (unless prohibited for that tld). For basic hosting we will still use GoDaddy. For WordPress hosting we will be using SiteGround or BlueHost. All WordPress hosting will include basic SSL (https) via Let’s Encrypt. Providers we use will be based on the scope, time and complexity of your website.

We will design and build a semi-custom website based on your needs. Your site will be built using WordPress which can be fully customized (header images, text colors, number of columns and more) to your needs. With WordPress you have the ability after your site is built to make changes and add content yourself with WordPress’s “back office”. Design service fees are billed at $35 per hour depending on if there are additional “extras” services (see below). We will send you an itemized cost and time estimate based on the initial phone/email consultations. Depending on the level of complexity of your site it should be completed within 2-3 weeks* of receipt of your first payment (50% of the total estimate).

All design packages included a .COM domain name ( may be added for extra fee, one email address, and for 1-Year.

Please note: WordPress based sites require routine updates and maintenance as security updates and patches are released for the core WordPress application plus themes and plugins associated with your site. Our basic hosting service does NOT include these updates. You are responsible for keeping up with these patches and failure to do so may lead to your site being compromised. However, we do offer the service for an extra $40 a month. More information in the Extras section below.
