Many Web Designers offer a 'per-page', 'per-image', 'per-link' rate -- we believe this type of pricing scheme results in substandard design. The logic is simple, the design will be twisted to the cost -- or no design will be done at all (just a mechanical fulfillment of the specification).
4Dwebs.com charges an hourly rate of $65/hr USD for all services. This includes graphic manipulation and scanning, word processing, HTML, CGI, Java, and VRML. We encourage customers to supply typed and proofed text in computer readable form, scanned images etc. This will save you money.
For most small accounts, the costs will range from $750 to $2000. The cost per additional page usually runs from $50 to $100, depending on the material. This will get you up and running with reasonable presence on the Net.
Personal Consultation and samples will be provided. Project begins pending an initial deposit of 50%. An estimate of total cost and a rough working layout will be given before work begins. This estimate will not be exceeded without permission. We require some 'physical' indication of consent to do work for you. We do not require a contract per se, but will provide a written cost proposal and contract if your company requires one. For our purposes, we only require a brief email correspondence.
Your site will be charged a $50/mo fee for storage space on the server. E-commerce sites are $100/mo. While 4Dwebs maintains your page, we will display a small logo with a text line and link. If you decide to take over production, you may remove the logo at your discretion. If you choose to get your own server and have it co-located at 4Dwebs, the charge is $200/mo. . If those prices sound high compared to other services, that's because we don't hide charges. DNS, Email, News, backups and other services necessary to keep your website running are included. There is never a setup fee for any service hosted on our servers. Your E-commerce site comes with your own database, shopping cart system, secure connection for ordering by credit card. The only extra charge would be for domain name registration. This is $35/yr (payable to Network Solutions) with the first two years paid in advance.
