Custom Web Sites:

For estimating the price of custom web site design we determine the type and amount of professional time to create the web pages with the information you give us.  The estimation of the type and amount of professional hours for a task is made by someone who is familiar with the service.

For a quote of a custom web site we will require a retainer fee which can be applied to the cost if we are asked to proceed.  Because requirements may not be clearly defined or may change for custom work we may quote with milestones to allow mutual renegotiate between milestones if requirements change.

 

For the following packages we include the pricing for one year of service, Note prices are subject to change.

  Notes about credit cards and shopping Carts:
 If you already have a credit card service you may wish to receive email notification of purchase and then hand process the purchase rather pay gateway fees necessary to process and get authorization code while customer is on the website.  Setting up the shopping cart software to complete, batch, the sale will add complexity and labor and also require that your selected credit card service supports it without excessive customization, please call us about this with your questions.
  Note that this pricing does not include the charges by the merchant service that you will contract with for processing credit cards.  Prices for Credit Card Merchant Services vary, for example a nominal price may be around $300 for setup and purchase of  equipment/software and around $0.30 per transaction , $20 month for gateway fees, about 2.35% of purchases, and probably monthly minimums on fees of about $35 so all together you can expect to spend to the credit card company around $55/month even if no purchases are made. We do not assess these fees we only mention them here to give you nominal numbers to review when deciding on a merchant service.
