I’m all about putting you in control of your web site!
If you are interested in setting up a new site, or updating an existing web site to make it more useful and cost effective, give me a call for a free initial consultation. I work with WordPress – easily the best website management system available on the Internet.

- There’s tons of effective social media integration to easily keep customers in the loop.
- WordPress lets you incorporate Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, Yelp, Google maps and reviews.
- You can even include automatic feeds, so your social media show up also on your website, providing fresh website content with no extra work.
- I’ll help you get your domain name registration into YOUR ownership and control.

…and lots more: whatever support you need to present your web site to the Internet public. I do the setup for you, then teach you how to manage and promote your own web site.
My fees are low and efficient. I charge $50 per hour for website setup, training and support. See my Terms and Policies page for details.
A small business or organization site can usually be completed for around $500 – often less if you know what you need. This includes not only the site design and graphics, but also basic training so you can update and expand your own site in the future. I’m happy to provide a cost estimate for your project in advance of work, and to adhere to your budget needs.
An extensive business or organization site, with multiple linked pages, integrated forms and systems, can be completed for around $1000 (see a great organization site built within this budget at Siskiyou Land Trust). I will work with you to create the site you need for your goals. Then I’ll set up the framework and train you in how to update and manage that site on into the future. It keeps your costs low and gives you the power to be in control! I’m happy to provide a cost estimate for your project in advance of work, and to adhere to your budget needs.
I will help you find the best place to host your web site… a decision based on the features and services your site needs. Hosting a basic small business web site costs around $10-14 per month (or less with start-up discounts). Independent backup services and security services can add another $100-$300 per year, depending on what you need. I am happy to work with any hosting company you want…it’s your choice.
I work with clients worldwide, using telephone, email and the Internet itself to provide fast, efficient service.
