Web sites all catagoried many ways. Personal or business. Lite, medium or heavy. Small, medium or large. An old offset printing term is - Form Follows Function! For example, a pick-up truck looks different from a small, sleek sports car because their FUNCTIONS are different. One, mainly to carry heavy, often dirty, construction materials, while the other one or two styling & profiling people (who definitely are trying to be 'clean')! Nearly eveything created or produced is done with that same principle in mind. Web sites are no difference. A lawyer may maintain a web site 95% textually based, while a photographer's or model's site, of course, is mainly to showcase images.
Additional considerations are length (eg. the number of chapters in a book), breath (eg. the number of pages in a chapter), budget restraints, target audiences, quickness of need & various bells & wistles (eg. flash, movie or sound clips).
Though Charmar Graphics offers pre-set packages, custom sites may be built to your particular specifications. Use the Design Estimate forms
Everybody's first question is either 'how much will it cost' or 'what's your hourly rate' to design or develop a web site suitable for a small business. And the answer is 'it depends on what you want'.
Our business philosophy is that it's got to be fair for both you and us. With the exception of continuing contract work like web site updates/maintenance, all of our prices are fixed - a pre-agreed price for a pre-agreed product or quantity of service. And we agree on both of those before work begins. That's fair for both you and us. You'll know just what you're going to get and just how much you'll pay for it. Just quoting an hourly rate isn't a lot of good if you don't know whether we can do what you want in 15 minutes or 15 hours. That's why we quote a price for a complete job.
Web site design is charged at a fixed price. And the price varies depending on just how big your site is going to be; how much additional graphic design we need to do for you; what third-party services you might need; and a host of other factors.
The best way to start is to ask us for an estimate. No obligation and free. Please choose the appropriate request form from the listing at left. We'll give you a cost estimate - and if that's of interest, we can refine the price to match your needs.
The more information you can provide, the more accurate our initial estimate will be. Nonetheless, it is only an estimate. Typically, our response will include a request for clarification and/or additional information so that we can precisely develop a quotation for the work requested.
Our objective is to provide a firm quotation for an agreed definition of services and scope - no surprises either for you or us.
Why would you hire someone to work on your web site? You could to do it yourself, or maybe you know a friend or neighbour who can it do for you. But let's be honest about this. Cheap web sites look like ... cheap web sites. And if your customers think you were cheap with your web site, what will they wonder about your products or service??
Assuming that you don't want to do it yourself and you would like a free estimate, please choose the appropriate request form from the listing at left.
What you do best is your business - spend your time at that. What we do best is producing a web site that works for your business - that's our business, so ask us for an estimate. We're looking forward to working together.
