Do I need a website?

I get asked on occasion, do I do websites. The short answer is yes, I do. I've done sites in HTML, DHTML, Perl, and PHP. Depending on the format of your request, I can custom design something to suit every need. Whether you're just looking for a single page, or a comprehensive layout, IndigoFalls can design something for you!

I strongly recommend a Content Management system to manage the diverse needs of the customer. With constantly changing standards in the web industry, it's more important than ever to keep up to date on design. A Content management system can save you both time and money in the long run.

I prefer Joomla 1.5. There is simply no easier, or widely supported CMS on the web. The availability of "Modules" for the software allows massive expansion, at a resonable cost. Templates are widely available from different sources, to customize the look of your site, and if necessary, easily customizable to your individual needs.

How Can I benefit?

Who needs a website? Who would benefit from one the most? Well, the simple answer is, you would. The fact that you're on the web, seeing this page is proof enough that people look at them. Look for them. A website is not only a sign that you are more than a simple business, it is a sign that you are thinking globally. Something I'd like to quote:

- In this information age, the competition to do business is fierce.  You as the business owner have to find the best way to stretch your dollar and increase your bottom line.  The best way to increase more revenue it to open another location perhaps.  But instead of opening an additional  "brick and mortar" location you can provide your customers a chance to see you in the global economy.  A customized website will not only serve your current customers online with valuable information about your goods and services but could reach an untapped market that have been looking for you for some time. -

How much will it cost?

Listed below is our standard pricing. Please note that all pricing is negotiable, depending on what your needs are.

Standard Pricing for web design and implementation is as follows:

• Standard, Single page, $50.00
• Dynamic HTML coded site, $400 flat fee

In this economy where the world seems shorter on resources we all have to do everything that we can to make our businesses the best in the world.  When I can pass those savings on to you, then you can pass them onto your very new and happy customers, that is why I keep my prices where even the smallest business can increase their bottom line.

Hosting:

When looking into a website, the first, and most important question to ask yourself is "Where do I host it?" There are numerous companies on the internet today that host websites for a nominal fee, both on a monthly, and yearly basis. Some of your options are:

• GoDaddy.com
• HostGator.com
• Emonsterhost.com
• Host it with me!

*I have recently started my own webhosting. I feature 99.98% uptime guaranteed, with great features. If you are interested in hosting your site locally, instead of with some outfit you can't get on the phone, give me a call!
