BW Web Designs
is
a Web Design company located in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. Bill Webster is the
owner and web designer. The company was started in 2000, is a one person operation, and is dedicated
to helping small business owners and community organizations gain an internet
presence. I provide dedicated personal service to each of my customers. We
have a small base of satisfied customers.
There are 3 basic items you need to have your own
web site:
- A Domain Name (www.yourdomain.com).
Domain names are purchased and registered. This is the name that will point
to your web hosting site (DNS).
BW Web
Designs
will register your
domain name for you. We use only Network Solutions as our registry.
- A Web Design.
BW
Web Designs
will be happy to work
with you to develop the design that best fits your business.
- A Domain Name Server to park your web site.
This is the computer that is connected to the internet, to which your web
site files will be uploaded.
The answer to this question is very simple. When
I first started to look for a web hosting company I found that there were
several out there who provide hosting for very high monthly rates. I kept
looking and found a company that provides highly reliable web
hosting at a reasonable annual cost. After using them for my own web site for
over a year, and receiving excellent support from them,
I signed on as a reseller of their products.
These are the factors in the cost of your web site.
- Web Hosting
- $125.00*
per year (includes free domain name registration)**
- Web Design:
BW
Web Designs
charges an hourly rate of $25.00. The total design cost
depends on the type and size of your site. We can design and publish a basic
site in 10 to 20
hours, so you should plan on $250 to $500. More extensive sites will
obviously have a higher cost.
* These
are purchased services and may change without notice!
** Free Domain registration applies to
the following extensions only: .com, .net, .org, .biz, .us, .info
