FAQS

The process is four-fold:

1. After an initial consultation, we meet to review your available materials and content, discuss your goals and aspirations. From there, the real first step is a "Visual Rendering" of you future website. This will be when you decide if I am the person to build your website. You can visually see how I envision the website might look and how it will navigate. Sometimes it may take a second or third rendering, but if you are patient – we normally can get to where you want to be. If you are are still unsatisfied with the visual, a 50% refund is available. Visual Rendering: $150 USD (±7-10 working days)
2. On approval of the Visual Rendering, a more formal/working rendering is created. This is where the rubber hits the road. You will have a "visually" complete website, technically ready for the web, but not quite on the web.  Final Final Rendering: $150 USD (±1-2 weeks)
3. On your approval of the Final Rendering we establish hosting, load your website to a server and – "You are on the web!" There are a variety of options for hosting. Your first year is on-the-house if you so choose. Or, if you establish your own hosting account, you can deduct $100. Hosting Fee: $125 USD (±1-3 days)
4. Now that we have your website on the web, all efforts are directed to making your website "searchable and indexed." In ways, we are at the mercy of the search engine (which is why this often takes longer than anticipated). On the other hand, there are things we can do to make it extremely easy for the search engines to find your website. This is handled by – what is commonly called — SEO (Search Engine Optimization). We establish your meta-tags, alt-tags, and canonical preferences. As well, we establish accounts with Google and Bing/Microsoft. We create your business profiles and make appropriate connections with your social media. We establish your analytics tools (so you can see your visitor rates, demographics and visitor activities). SEO: $150 (3-4 weeks)

ONGOING MAINTENANCE & DEVELOPMENT?
All completed  5 Page Web projects  have the necessary tools and utilities to monitor visitor rates, growth and reach built into the final website. For businesses and organizations that are interested in viewing "how things are going" these are invaluable. 

If you are interested in increasing your web-presence, increasing your search engine ranking and expanding your website to include more content and features, I recommend discussing long-term options for ongoing maintenance and development. This option is purely optional. With this feature you are essentially hiring 5 Page Web to manage your website. The pricing tends to be very inclusive and averages $50-250 per month depending on the goals we set and the complexity of your website. 

Please note: 5 Page Web maintains an organic approach to SEO and site development. While research and implementation may take longer to realize, the results of an Organic SEO tend to be very long lasting as opposed to paid-for-options. Both short-term (as little as 3 months) and long-term (usually yearly) agreements are available. Please inquire. I will not prod you to do this. But, if you start asking, "What can we do to get more visitors..." – this is the obvious option to consider.
