Please see the Order Now page to see site prices depending on the type of site you would like. Or you can Contact Me with your site details and I will provide a quote.

What are the costs of maintaining a website?

There are two ongoing costs involved with keeping your website online. The first is your yearly Domain Name Registration from around $40 NZ a year for .co.nz domains. The second is your Web Hosting Account which is where your pages are stored and also where your email accounts are setup. I can host my clients website’s for $120 yearly.

What is the procedure for paying for my site?

Payment must be made to confirm your order and for designing to begin. You can make full payment amount online anytime on the Order Now page with via Paypal. You can pay using VISA, Mastercard or with your Paypal funds. Alternatively we can arrange a bank deposit (New Zealand only) payment of 50% plus the hosting amount before beginning the design of website’s. The final 50% of design costs must be paid before your site is uploaded live to the internet.

I allow for my clients to make small minor updates to text, contact details etc. Major updates and additions will be charged at an hourly rate of $80 with a minimum of half an hour charged. Your changes and updates will be made within 24-72 hours of your request or after you have provided me with the information.

How long will it take to complete my website?

The initial stages of design can begin right away if you provide the text, photos and other content that you would like displayed on your site. Your website draft could be completed within several days to several weeks, depending on the complexity of your site and the how quickly you can provide all of your content.

How do I get started with my website?

You can use the Order Now page if you know what you require. Or please Contact Me, and we can discuss the requirements of your site and provide you with a quote. You will then need to send through any content you have including company logos, photos, text content for pages etc. I will then begin design and send you a first draft. You can then tell me any changes or additions that you would like to see, and we bounce back and forth until you are happy with the site.

I already have a hosting account, can I use that?

Yes, you can use you current hosting provider if you have an domain addon available. I can provide clients with a Web Hosting Account for $120 yearly. Including email accounts and support. It makes it a lot easier for me to host my own clients sites, as I am familiar with the setup and have full access to provide you with support.
