Website creation

Pricing structure for website creation with static content (content that I would have to change on your instruction).

e.g. Four pages = £50 + £30 per page = £170

To view an example template of a static content website, click here.

Charitable causes often qualify for 1/3 off the price of web creation.

After the site goes live, maintenance and updates will be charged at my pro-rata hourly rate, which is currently £20 per hour.

Extras that could be added into your website.  All these scripts need a database unless specified to the contrary.

(The registered licences for the following software scripts are with me, for my personal use. In order for me to be able to incorporate any of the scripts in your site, the maintenance of your site must remain with me. In the event that you want a third party to operate your website, the scripts must either be removed or you must purchase licence copies of the scripts for yourself).
