Affordable "Per Page" Pricing •

At Northern Web Technologies I like to keep the website design prices simple, so you control the costs. You will have noticed that web designers never include a "price" page, this is because it is very difficult to work out a price without knowing exactly what the customer needs. Designing a web site is complex and the features are endless. Northern Web Technologies do not charge by the hour to create your website and will tell you upfront what is included. From the materials you provide, Northern Web Technologies will develope, optomise and promote a basic website for $280 per page. Once we agree on the number of pages your website needs, you will know the cost.

A basic web page consists of your title or logo, text, from one to five images and one or two links (internal or external). A typical web site for a small business is usually between four to five pages.

Occasionally prices per page may change depending on the content, but I will let you know if this is the situation.

Examples of when a web page could cost more :

If you required a website which includes a photo gallery of photos and requested Northern Web Technologies to take all of the photos for the website. There would be an additional charge of $65 per hour for this service.

There is an extra charge for "Additional Promotion". Details are below.

Examples of when a web page could cost less:

Your company required a website that tells your customers all about your business then these pages would be fully optimized and would cost $280 per page. However, if you also wanted to include a list of machinery and the load capacity of each machine, then the price per page would be reduced to around half price or less if there were a few pages and you were to provide Northern Web Technologies with the information for these pages. Another reason that these pages would cost less is that they do not need as much optimising for the search engines and a lot less time is spent on validating these pages.

Note: The price per page is for all of the above, of course this price does not include your Domain Name and your Web Hosting Service. If you don't already have one you can type in "Web Hosting" into the search box above and you can choose a Web Hosting company. Alternatively, I would be happy to give you advice on this if you require.

Website Maintenance •

Maintaining your website means providing changes which are a necessary part of keeping your website up to date. Charges for this service are $125 per hour.

Additional Promotion •

This form of promotion is ongoing because search engines are continually changing the way that they search and index sites and to make it worse, every search engine uses different methods. Your site will be advertised more, optimized more and have more links, creating a greater presence and higher ranking so that the spiders that crawl the web will give your page more importance on their index. Search engines reindex their database every few weeks and careful monitoring is needed. A discussion on additional promotion is preferred to give you a better understanding as I can demonstrate to you how it works. The price for this service can be monthly $100, 6 monthly $500, or yearly $800.
