Many of my websites are designed and developed uniquely and bespoke to order. Whilst this is a great solution which provides the client with an individual website, the expense involved is greater than some clients can justify.
That is why I offer a low cost web build service from just $14.95 per month!
low cost web design
For some clients with a small business, a charitable organisation or a hobby, the right solution to having an effective web presence is to use a personalised, but basic, design template rather than a unique design for their site. I can create you a fully-featured, content-managed, effective website for just $14.95 per month.
Don't confuse this offer with shoddy sites built by an amateur or fly-by-night snake oil salesmen though! I have many years of experience in building effective websites using the latest technology, and you will have access to my help and advice to support your site.
is there a setup cost?
If you are happy to put content into your site yourself using the easy-to-use content management system, then all you will ever pay for your website is $14.95 per month.
If you want me to load the site initially, or you want a bespoke design created, or some special features such as shopping cart, membership database, html newsletter, blog etc. then there will be an additional one-off fee. We can discuss this at the time of site creation, or at any time in the future as your needs change.
You would be well advised to register a domain name, the address for your site - I can register one on your behalf and that will cost a small amount each year.
Sounds perfect...

Here is a sample list of sites that I have worked on. Some were developed in collaboration with design agencies:
what's new?
Many people, clients and developers, now turn to Wordpress as a de facto solution to the content management system puzzle. It seems to me that wp is still caught between stools though. It started life as a blogging tool, and although a blog can be an ideal structure for a website for some, it's a square peg in a round hole for most. Wordpress realised this a long time ago right enough and over several releases has released features, recently custom types and taxonomies, that attempt to shave the peg's corners. Plug-in developers also realised the gap between need and provision - possibly wp's biggest strength is that it was developed in php/mysql making custom tie-in reasonably painless - and there is now a staggering array of CMS type features that can be added to Wordpress. It still feels like it needs a tap with a wooden mallet though!
Don't get me wrong... I really like Wordpress - it's my favourite tool of the bunch, and it's a complex, powerful application which is probably the way to go for most website developments now. The question is whether wp developers should continue adding features to the core, running the risk of making it bloated and too hard to use for bloggers, or rely on developers to find ways of tying-in custom development. I guess I don't have a lot of faith in the one-size-fits-all argument, in my experience clients almost always expect a one-size solution to do something unique!
