Questions & Answers

How much web design experience do you have?

I have been designing web pages since 2000 where I worked at Miami-Dade Community College (MDCC) in the Honors Program as a student assistant. There I designed my first pages, the Honors Program site and the Phi Theta Kappa Mu Epsilon site, working along side MDCC' web development department. I have worked on and off since then. For a list of my most recent web sites please visit my portfolio.

How long does it usually take to complete a site?

Well that depends on several factors. Here are some of these factors that prolong the completion of your site.

     1. Is the content already created or are there graphics and content to be created?

     2. Do you need photographs to be taken of you merchandise, store, staff, or office?

Nevertheless, most sites are completed within a period of 2 to 5 weeks.

How much does a web site really cost to produce?

Of course that depends on the size (how many pages) of the site and the features (galleries, forms, flash intro, etc) it has. Currently my fees range between $75 and $250 per page. $75 being a simple page with normal graphics to fit the theme of your site, $100 being a page with a online form, $150 being a page with a photo gallery, and $250 being a page with flash animation, such as my home page. Some of the above fees can vary due to the complexity of the particular page.

In addition to web development, you must also think of the cost of purchasing a domain name and web hosting. The domain name price varies from $7 to $30 per year depending on the desired extension (.com, .net, .info, .org, .name, etc) and from what company you make your purchase from. Web hosting, on the other hand, can be costly. Basic monthly fees are as low as $1 up to $200 each month and sometimes even more. This price depend on the disk space, bandwidth, and if your site will be using a database or a shopping cart.
