Website Design & Development

TGL takes your website project from design to development for a base price of $850. Up to 10 pages are included, with a nominal fee of $25 for an unlimited amount of additional pages. No project's too large. I've personally done websites with well over 100 pages and several hundred graphics to include a custom designed, online store with hundreds of product pictures, descriptions and buy buttons. In the case of major projects, i.e., exceeding 30 pages with multiple graphics, etc..., the per page fee is waived and TGL will work to find a flat rate that works within the clients budget. So, just tell TGL what you want and I'll take it from there.

Have you heard of our outrageous special? Most of the services you'd normally expect to pay for are FREE!! Better hurry. We can't do this forever. Our regular prices are already great, but nothing beats FREE!!

Maintenance

Getting a website up and running is only the initial stage of launching your professional web presence to the consumer market. Maintenance is another. Maintenance of a website consists of touch-ups, informational changes and minor revisions made to the existing website content. And, in the case of monthly publications, newsletters, etc., will include new content and/or graphics. Basically, it's all of those tedious, must do tasks that keep your website's information up to date, but don't incur additional cost as with actual design changes, or overall site re-creation.

TGL performs maintenance on all of our sites for only $50 per month. That's less than half of what most companies charge, even those who boast of low prices. The first month's maintenance fee is included in overall pricing. However, each subsequent months payment is due on, or before the first day of the following month.

Web Hosting

TGL charges a small, yearly hosting fee of $120 payable at time of contract with subsequent payments due on, or before the current hosting contract ends. Only the most reliable servers are used for our client's websites. In fact, we use the same one for ourselves and have for quite some time, so we know it's number one and the service to you will be first rate. The uptime is 99%, but no site I've created has ever been down. Also, TGL does not limit the space your website can use, so add as many pages, graphics, web files, etc... as you like. You can also add websites within you, or "sub-domains" as explained under 'Domain Names' below. Monthly data transfer is 100GB, but rarely does a website require anywhere near that. Additional data transfer can be purchased for a small fee should the need arise.

Domain Name

Registration ($25)

Domain name registration is secured by TGL for 1 full year at a cost of $25 per year. Clients wishing to register for more than one year will be accommodated accordingly. All domains are owned by client; not TGL. I've seen scammer web developers secure domain names under their company's name, or even personal name, and, if the client later decides to go with another web design company, they hold the domain name hostage. TGL does not practice such gutter tactics and finds it disgusting to see that others do. It's an unfair practice used against unsuspecting clients and a shameful reward for the trust they've given and monies paid. Domain registration and related information will be provided upon request following domain set-up and payment. Integrity is first and foremost in all that we do.

Set-Up

Registration and set-up can be two separate tasks. In the case of domain transfer, or domains purchased outside of the hosting company for use within it, set-up becomes necessary to insure the website works correctly. If a domain name is purchased via TGL, set up is free. Otherwise, a small fee of $25 will be charged.

Email

Depending upon the size and structure of your business, or organization, a uniform email source can prove quite valuable. TGL provide up to 10 email accounts at 500MB each with every website purchase. Additional emails of 500MB can be purchased at $5 per year. Larger, 2GB accounts are available at $10 per year, per account.

Accounts can be accessed via our webmail source, or your organization may set it up to work with Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora, and many other email editors. If you choose to use the latter method, all necessary information will be provided.

In the case a client is unfamiliar with how to set up email editors, TGL will provide this service at only $15 per account.

E-Commerce

TGL will gladly set up eCommerce capabilities on purchased, or pre-existing websites, at a base rate of $350 and continued rate of $65 per hour thereafter. A completely custom, online store including client supplied, product pictures & descriptions will be created based on your written design submission. Or, for an additional $75, (a sizable reduction from the $125 fee), TGL will design the store based on client's verbal ideas.

If product photos are not available, TGL can provide photography services at a base rate of $125 and $10 per product thereafter. In the case of larger stores with a multitude of products, an affordable, flat rate that fits within the client's budget can be agreed upon.

TGL's chosen, online payment processor is PayPal because, like us, they offer the best rates without compromising quality, or customer service. They have the lowest rates around, they accept all major credit cards and debit cards bearing the MasterCard and VISA logos, have no upfront costs, no lengthy, application process, or start-up fee, and they're the easiest, online service to join. I've used them for years without any problems and feel quite comfortable in doing so for my clients as well.

However, with respect to varied, client preferences in this regard, those who prefer to use other payment processors can have them incorporated for a nominal and additional fee of $125.

TGL uses Frontpage 2003 for website publication while incorporating other useful tools, products and services for prime, custom website generation.

Keep in mind the purpose of these sessions are to learn how to maintain a website built with Frontpage 2003 and, therefore, relative aspects will be taught. However, questions regarding the overall aspect of Frontpage 2003 will be addressed as time permits and the group progresses.

No Advertisements!!

TGL will never put advertising banners on your website as a 'trade off' for free webhosting. Our webhosting is FREE for 1 full year with a small, one time fee per year following. There are no hidden agendas. Unlike many free hosting companies and nickel-and-dimer deals, TGL keeps your website totally banner free . Of course, if you choose to include ad banners to generate revenue before, or after the website project is completed, this can be done for a nominal fee.

Without exception... TGL websites include the following notation, or something to this effect, in the Footer (copyright area at bottom of each website page) which includes a link to TGL website:

   "Give your business a professional web presence at an affordable price. Contact: The Graphics Lady".

(Adding Web Designer contact info and link is a normal and quite frequent occurrence for all web designers and can usually be found in the footer of all websites whether they are commercial, non-profit, etc. However, as some clients may be more accustomed to Web Designers linking to their email address, rather than their website, or a variety of different wordings, as a courtesy, TGL opted to add this notation. For the sake of our "No Advertisement" clause, this notation is not considered "advertisement" as it gives visitors direct access to web designer in the case of technical difficulties and for the purpose of notification of site problems such as pages not working, etc..., thereby substantially decreasing any downtime the site may incur.)
