If you have been waiting for the
right time to develop a website, it has arrived. Monthly
hosting charges have dropped dramatically over the past
two years. For about $8.00/month you can host a professional
site. I charge $60/hr for website development. For a
site similar to this one, the total cost of getting the
site up and running is about $1,000. After that, all
you have to pay for is the monthly hosting charge; for
this site, I pay less than $100/year. Here are a few
sites that I have developed during the past few months:
www.lyramayfield.com -
movement analyst & choreographer in Boulder, CO
www.lyonsglenn.com
- town home style condominiums in Lyons, CO
www.collierharvest.org -
food relief organization in southwest Florida
Once
a website is up and running, your potential customers
need to find you. By optimizing your webpages for search
engines, such as Google, Yahoo, AOL, and MSN, I will
increase the chance that new customers will find you
on the web. For example, I am currently working with
InJoyVideos in Boulder, CO to increase the visibility
of the educational videos about childbirth and parenting
on Google, Yahoo!, and MSN. If you would like to learn
more about search engine optimization and what it can
do for your site, please contact
me.
Often the best way to increase
productivity on your system is for me to show you how
to manipuate it yourself. Clearly not everyone wishes
to know the details of their operating system and sometimes
this approach may not be practical. However, on-site
training or service of your computer often makes the
most sense. It is all too common to pick up a computer
from a repair shop only to learn that they forgot to
pay attention to the one detail that matters most to
you. By performing on-site training and service of your
computer system, I can ensure it is working exactly as
you expect it to. My rate for this type of work is $60/hour.
