Building websites
We build your unique website from the theme you choose and our selected range of plugins.
Your new website will cost $1000 and includes six hours of consultation and/or training.
Support
If you decide you want to look after your website yourself and need additional training or help, we can provide these at $75 an hour with a minimum charge of one hour.
If you decide you want us to look after your website for you, we offer an annual membership for $360 that provides up to twelve hour’s work, which comes out to $30/hour – less than half the regular fee. If you find you need more than twelve hours’ work, the members’ fee for additional time is $60/hour with a minimum charge of one hour.
what else you will pay for
If you want to keep your costs to a minimum, the only things you will pay for separately are your domain registration, domain privacy (optional but strongly recommended) and a hosting service.
WordPress itself is always free and there is a huge range of free themes, plugins and widgets.
Akismet and MailChimp have free versions. If you choose to use a paid-for version we will help you arrange it but you need to pay for it yourself.
Hosting service
- if you don’t already have a hosting service, we will help you arrange it and you will have to provide them with credit card information.
- we strongly recommend bluehost. They are excellent for small websites; their help line is 24/7, their wait times are short or nonexistent and they’re actually helpful. Very helpful. They have hosted our sites for years and we now have an affiliate arrangement with them.
- if you prefer a different hosting service we will cheerfully set it up for you.
Taxes
- If you’re in Ontario, Canada you also pay 13% HST.
