Appalachian Skies has over a decade in professional web design experience. We specialize in fast-turnaround, no-hassle web sites that look sharp and get your message out to the world.
| West Virginia clients: Appalachian Skies operates in West Virginia in a partnership with CIS Internet. CIS specializes in web design and internet marketing/management for West Virginia businesses. If your company or organization is located in West Virginia and is in need of design or web management services, give CIS a call. |
Our fee for a standard web design package is $1,999 (USD), and includes:
- Custom graphic design and layout for home page and up to 5 subpages
- Basic flash animation (photo slideshow, moving header background, etc)
- Search engine optimization and consultation
- Spam-proof email form return
Extras
We can also install add-ons such as e-commerce shopping carts, blogging systems, photo galleries and more for additional rates. Just let us know about any extras you may need, and we can provide you with a quote.
Domain names and hosting
If you need a domain name for your new site, we'll register it for you at cost. By default, we host all of our client sites through CIS (they will bill you directly for the monthly hosting fee). However, you are free to register your own domain name and use your own hosting provider if you so choose.
Project timeline
Turnaround time for a site is usually on the order of two to three weeks, although this is greatly dependent on how quickly you can get your content to us (photos, logos, text copy, etc). You'll actually have a fairly active role in the design process, from communicating your vision with us to approving the 'look and feel' of the design. If you can devote at least 30 minutes every other day to the project (writing your content, reviewing/approving the design, etc), two weeks is a reasonable time to have everything completed.
Appalachian Skies advantage
So why choose Appalachian Skies for your web design needs? We have been in the web design business for nearly 14 years. We build all of our sites 'from scratch', coding the pages by hand and using the latest in graphics software. We never use templates or 'what-you-see-is-what-you-get' editors, meaning we have precise control over every element of the site's layout and functionality. We build sites that look professional and are cross-browser compatible. We don't get into the fancy bells and whistles (such as complex flash animations) that will drive up your cost, take more time to implement and won't bring your site any real value. We simply focus on making your site look sharp, easy to use and search-engine friendly. Finally, if you shop around, we think you'll find that $1,999 is a very reasonable rate for a professionally designed web site.
