At the end of our first hour together if you determine that I'm not going to be able to help you, we will simply part friends and I will not bill you for this hour. As well, if I determine that your project is more than I'm able to take on I won't bill you, and I'll try to help you find someone that can take on your project.
Follow-up consultation: $35/hour*
Site development: $35/hour*
A simple custom site, if you provide the photographs and text content, can be developed and installed in as little as 8 hours. A typical site of this type has three to five pages with text, a few photos, and a simple menu structure. The site you're looking at right now is a good example of this type of site (except the banner across the top which took a few extra hours to create using Photoshop.) In most cases I can use graphics that you already have, including business cards, letter head, etc.
More elaborate sites, of course, take more time. However, I'm sure I can provide you with an attractive, effective website for much less than you'll spend with other web designers. Take a look at my sample sites. If you see one that is approximately what you'll need, call me and I'll give you an idea of what it would cost to develop a similar site for you.
