Web Accessibility & Design Services

Full Website Design

A full website design is generally what I do starting from scratch. The cost of a website will vary significantly depending on the scope of the project. A basic web project, including reserving a domain name, acquiring a hosting service and designing a basic web site consisting of 5-10 pages of content, will generally cost $1500-$2000. This price includes the design, a contact form, 5-10 additional pages of content, and a 1-year reservation of a domain and web hosting. A good estimate for original web design is $200/page for the first five pages. After five pages, the cost drops significantly, as the majority of the cost lies in the original design. A page describing the accessibility of the site is included at no cost.

All web sites I design will encompass best practice web design principles:

See my design gallery for an idea of the kind of web design work I provide.

As special features, custom programming, and more complex navigational schemes are introduced, prices rise as well. For this reason, all projects require a detailed plan describing the scope of the project.

Update and redesign of existing websites

All site redesigns must be negotiated individually. If you only want to keep the content of the site with a completely new design this will be considered a new design, as above. It is usually more difficult and time consuming to apply web accessibility to an existing design than to start from scratch.

Develop your website from an existing design

Already have a talented graphic designer in mind or on staff? That's fine — I can work with your designer to realize your website in an accessible and search-engine friendly manner. I may require minor changes in the design in order to maximize search engine effectiveness or accessibility, but that's not a problem. Pricing for development contracts will be quoted individually, but is usually about 2/3 the cost of a full design and development project.

Web Accessibility Consulting

Need advice on how to update your existing site into an accessible or standards based platform? My current consulting rates for this kind of advising and labor are $90/hr. An average review takes anywhere from 5 to 20 hours to complete, depending on the size of the site, the scope of media formats used, and the type of problems encountered. This includes a comprehensive written review of accessibility issues for your site with suggestions for the means to correct them.

Search Engine Optimization Consulting

I provide consulting services to examine your current website and provide a detailed report on the issues you need to deal with in order to achieve top search engine rankings. I'll address a wide array of technical issues as well as problems with content and keywords use. My SEO consulting rates are $90/hr. A full report usually requires between 8 and 10 hours to prepare. Very large websites may require a greater investment of time in order to provide a thorough report.

I am specialized in developing search-engine friendly websites. The principle focus of your report will be on technical issues and barriers to search engine optimization best practice. Optimization itself is a long-term process, and is beyond the scope of the report I provide. I will, however, provide you with many tips on what kinds of things you should do to prepare for search engine optimization.

This kind of consulting is highly effective during a web site redesign, where I can work with your designer or development team to make sure each aspect of the site is developed in the best possible way.

Web Hosting

What I make available for hosting your website is described more thoroughly on its own page. If you make use of the hosting I offer through ICDSoft, it will either cost $65/year or $115/year, depending on the level of service. Other hosting options may vary widely!
