Self-Managed mobile-friendly e-commerce site for under $1000

Design Layout and Consulting

Either you can provide a general idea of layout and style which I will fine-tune and adapt for the web, or you can submit source material with no preconceived layout. I will create and design a site for your specific needs and specifications using custom designed theme graphic elements for the site’s appearance.

My sites make it easy...

…for you to manage and maintain your site yourself, including your non-product (information) pages. You will be able to have as many articles or information pages as you want, and create new ones integrated with the site navigation as needed.

Training is a big part of what I do

I will make you comfortable and able to manage your site’s content content yourself. And I won’t just do the work and abandon you. My commitment is for as long as you own your site. I am always available when questions or issues occur.

During the design process...

…of each web site, I create your site online. This will enable you to follow the progress and development of your site from your computer, tablet and phone, and provide feedback to me regarding its layout and design.

I make every attempt to maintain a collaborative working environment...

…where your opinions and ideas are incorporated into the process at every level and stage of the project.

Once your web site is launched...

…and paid for, you have full ownership of the site. Unlike many web design firms, I make sure that all web site and hosting records are in your name. Your web site belongs to you!

Included In This Package:

  • Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
  • Submission to the top search engines
  • Training for the updating of your site’s contents

What is the process of building a site?

  1. First, we talk about what you’re thinking you want your site to include. If you don’t know exactly what you want, I can help you decide what you need.
  2. Together, we will come up with a site outline in order to determine how complex the site will be (functions, size of site, graphics, etc.). Then I come up with a cost estimate and proposal.
  3. Once you accept my proposal, I draw up a contract agreement which you sign and email or “snail” mail to me with your initial payment (I accept checks, credit cards and PayPal).
  4. After discussing style, color, and image (the “feel” of the site) – often along with a simple Appearance Questionnaire I will ask you to complete – I come up with a design to show you. Sometimes the client is happy immediately, sometimes I have to go back to the drawing board and tweak it a bit.
  5. Upon approval, the framework of your site is built out; Search Engine Optimization is integrated into the source code and content.
  6. If an e-commerce site, you make your final payment and I turn over site administrative access to you for you to start doing product entry (with full instructions and support from me).
  7. Site is launched and submitted to the appropriate search engines, directories, etc.

“I have had Anne design two sites for me and have been beyond happy with them! Any problems you have and she is right there for you. I am certainly not very tech savvy, but have been able to update and run the sites with the instructions she provides. Highly recommend Anne.”
