Custom Websites

You want to build your website so it accurately reflects who you are and whatever awesome thing it is you have to offer to the world. We build your online presence on the WordPress platform – it’s not just for blogging – it’s a full-blown, feature-rich, easy-to-use content management system that truly meets you at your level of expertise.

You want your website to look great, perform well, and allow you to control its content. We evaluate your requirements, outline your options and help you make the best choices for you.

Some Examples of Custom Websites

“Without Suzanne Bird-Harris, my web site, www.GiggleOn.com, would be little more than a wishful dream. Suzanne is a skilled web master, a Word Press genius and the Queen of the land of HTML. Without Suzanne’s skills, talents and loving support, Giggle On! would not be on the map.

Suzanne and I share the same no nonsense, down-to-earth approach when handling projects and her sense of humor helps lift me when I get frustrated in web land.

Your web site is in great hands with Suzanne!”

How It Works

Step 1: Preparation

You schedule a Demystification Consultation. You’ll save time, money and your sanity this way. So much so, we’ve made it the required first step. Your positive experience of us is too important to wiggle on this point.

Custom websites start at $1,250, with the actual price being determined by your requirements as discussed in your consultation. You’ll know your price and what you get for it – in writing – before you start. At minimum, they include:

• Image editing/cropping for home page rotating images
• Implmentation of custom header (optional and provided by client)
• Color scheme customization throughout (graphics or CSS-based)
• Creation of up to 7 content pages
• Blog setup

Other options include:

• PayPal/e-Junkie/1ShoppingCart integration
• Event calendar
• Membership features
• Forums
• Your specific ideas/requirements

Step 2: Implementation

When your site goes up, you don’t get a bunch of blank pages. You get a complete, customized, working site. All the essential pages filled with your content, RSS and email subscription forms, contact form, and stat tracking.

You get all the necessary domain management done for you, including setting up your email accounts.

Step 3: Support

You get a technical staff who’ll talk to you. You have support available via email throughout the project and scheduled check-in calls at regular intervals to ensure your satisfaction.

Once your site is up, you take control. No more “waiting for the web person” to update your months-old content. Log in easily to your site any time, right from your browser. You can edit your text and manage pics with point-and-click ease.

You get free training videos and other resources on our client-only resources page, and free phone and email support for 30-days after your project is complete. (Phone support thereafter is billable at the current hourly rate. Quick email questions are free.) As a client, you’re eligible for discounts on products and services we introduce.

The Rock Clause

What’s a rock clause? Ever have a contractor come and dig a trench or a foundation for you? He gives you a price for the job, but adds a disclaimer about how that price does not include unexpected events like hitting rock. Hitting rock slows the whole project down and drives up the cost because trenchers and back hoes don’t dig through rock all that well. He’ll probably have to break out the dynamite and blow stuff up to get the rock out of the way. Fun, but costly.

Here’s our rock clause: If we hit rock, we’ll tell you right away, and together we’ll find the most expedient, least expensive way to blow the rock up and get it out of the way. We’ll even make it fun, if we can. But it will change the price of your project.
