Package Rates
Most new websites are quoted a design fee in a package cost. This includes a year's web space rental, domain name registration and maintenance for a year, e-mail setup and site customization.
Package cost depends on the size and complexity of the website requested. Since each client requires a unique solution for their web presence, it is difficult to determine exactly how much the package will be before the design consultation.
However, to assist you in determining what your costs may be, below is a sampling of what the typical costs involved in building a web presence might be for you.
