Who is this offer for?
If you’re just starting out, or you’re unhappy with your current website, this special offer gives you a polished website designed and developed by a professional (me). It gives you visibility — a place to say more than you can on social media.
Or if you're happy with the website you have, but you want to highlight a special offer you're running, and you want to feature it more than you can on social media, this would be ideal.
What about pricing?
This offer is more expensive than building your site on Wix or WordPress by yourself, so why consider it?
Wix itself tells you why. Take a look at their pricing: you can do it yourself for “free,” or you can have them do the design and development:
“To build a 5-page website using Wix’s professional services, you can expect to pay between $1,000 to $5,000, depending on the complexity of your design requirements and the specific services you choose.”
Simply put: design/development is what you’re paying for. So, unless you are a graphic designer, you will not be able to build a website that looks professional and enticing.
Of course, you could use a Wix template, but the good ones aren’t free, and, in the end, if all else goes well, your site will look generic, made from a template.
My Pricing
I will build you a 5-page website for $199 down and $49 a month for a year, a total of a $787 commitment for the first year. And the second year is even better (because you’ve been loyal): $39 per month.
But isn’t $49 per month a bit steep?
Yes, for hosting only. But not if it includes design/development fees: because the initial $199 deposit would clearly be ridiculously low if that’s all you would be paying for design/development, and the monthly fee was all for hosting. Therefore: the monthly fee includes an amortized part of the design/development fee.
But what would a website like that look like?
You’re looking at it: This website!
It’s an example of a five-page website. You choose the colors and the fonts, give me your text and photos. Case closed. If you want to talk about this further and all it offers, let me know.
