So what's all this ingenuity and innovative design going to cost.  Well, that really depends on what you need.  The only firm pricing we can give you is this. We will deploy a single page with up to 3 simple product graphics, contact info, mission statement text, email links and search engine submissions for $450 plus any domain name and/or hosting fees.  That is not a per page price.  There just has to be a minimum starting price to pay for the 20 or more hours involved and $450 is it.  The domain and hosting fees can range from $2 to $150 depending on duration and extras.  The page will be similar to the start page for this site with page graphics in colors you chose to accent your content.  The 3 product graphics can be any combination of stock photos like our start page, cartoonish clipart like this page or images you provide.  The text can be written by you or our writing specialist will write the content for you.  This is a perfect starter page for people who just want to get their company name or product introduced to the World Wide Web.  If your needs are greater, we will be happy to take a look at your requirements and give you an estimate.  I can tell you that Web Hack Designs will deliver your site on time, on budget and at a competitive price.  I know that sounds like a dodge or a slogan, but it's not.  It's just not possible to set firm pricing without knowing requirements.  We don't normally do hourly pricing.  Hourly pricing always leaves open the specter of overcharging hours.  We want everyone to be satisfied with the process from beginning to end.

I can also tell you what you will get when we deploy your site.  You will get a catalog of all images, text and hyperlinks as well as any unique email addresses that may be displayed within the site.  We provide a copy of the design notes that describe where on the site these images and texts are displayed.  The design notes will include information on any special characteristics about the images, text or other linked content.  These characteristics would be things like how to update the image content, naming and sizing protocols, password and login protocols or any other information required for maintenance.  We will also include a simple tutorial on accessing and using the hosting server, domain server and any linked content providers assigned to the pages.  All of this information will be delivered in both hard copy and digital form.  We think it is important that you have all of the information we develop while designing your site at your finger tips.  We will keep your information secret, but we will not keep secrets from you. 

There are other extras that Web Hack Designs delivers that are not as obvious, but may be just as important.  As we write the code for your site the programmer will include programmer's notes.  These notes will be delineated by a unique html code identifier  and visual queue so that anyone can recognize them.  These programmer's notes will be aimed at guiding you through maintaining the content.  They will be included in the code even if you elect to have us maintain the site.  Again, no secrets from the client and it gives you the option if you decide to maintain the content yourself at a later date.  The naming protocols we use will be logical.  The file names will not look like that string of numbers and letters a digital camera assigns to pictures.  The names will directly address the content.  This is important as it makes updating content as simple as naming a file and uploading it to the site.  That's what we are all about.  Delivering a simple, effective and powerful asset to display your valued content.

Graphics design, creative and technical writing specialist are available to help provide guidance and content for your deployment.  We can help with everything from designing a company logo to content display methods and product descriptions.  Our specialist can transform the way users and you perceive your valued content.  We understand that the content and the target audience for that content should determine how it is displayed, organized and delivered.  That is exactly what our specialist will do.

We will also submit your Web Site to all of the major search engines and dozens of smaller ones to get your content listed around the world.  This is an important step because if the search engines don't know about the site they can't direct users there.  We will help you with strategies to promote your site and improve it's page rank.  Page rank is how high it appears in search pages when someone does a search for content.  We will optimize the meta tags to improve the way web crawlers for the major search engines view your pages.  This does not necessarily improve page ranking, but it can dramatically reduce the ranking if it's done incorrectly. 

We can also provide you with contact information for a client or clients who have agreed to be available.  If they want to tell you what they paid they can.  The confidentiality and privacy of our clients is as important to us as it is to them so what information they share is strictly theirs.

Oh, if your content is of an illegal or questionable nature...move on we can't help you.
