Everyone has a website nowadays, and if they don’t, they need one. The world revolves around the Web, and a website is your portal to the world. Small, work-from-home businesses have flourished and made their owners millions because they invested in a website. There’s also the flipside to that coin: many, many people have invested in a website and then seen absolutely nothing from it.

This is why Lance’s offering is unique. Lance understands that a website is a marketing piece, and just one portion of your overall strategy. With Lance designing your site you can rest assured that you’ll receive courteous, knowledgeable, and professional service.

So what kind of services does Lance offer?

Static Site Design

Static sites are your basic run-of-the-mill functionality sites. There’s no bells and whistles here. What’s going to sell your prospects is the layout, the copy, and the call to action. These sites are usually three (3) pages in size.

Price: $500.00

Advanced Site Design

In advanced website design an individual is looking for Flash, possibly a blog integration, newsletter, or other PHP-related work. While Lance might not have the skillset to handle these requests, he’s networked with a number of people who do, and will oversee the aspects of projects he can’t fulfill himself.

Price: by bid only.

Site Copywriting

Lance is a student of the English language, and marketing strategy. He’ll interview you to determine the direction and verbage you’d like to take with your site, then produce the copy for each page accordingly.

Price: $100.00/page

DEFINITIONS

Website Page

This is defined as roughly 350-400 words. Extra pages above what was purchased cost $100.00 apiece.

Copywriting

In website design you have 3-7 seconds to get someone’s attention. A lot of copy can be intimidating. Thus the word count.

Advanced Website Design

Some things take much more time and knowledge than others. (e.g. - integrating a blog, a newsletter, a CMS, e-commerce, etc.)

Website Standards

There are standards to be maintained on the Web. Lance works within W3C compliant standards.

WHAT MAKES A SITE SUCCESSFUL?

VIEW SOME SITES LANCE HAS DESIGNED

While Lance would love to tell you it is solely the design that makes the site a success this would not be the truth. So, instead, we have to inform you that to make a site successful takes hard work and dedication.

The appearance of your site will go a long way towards success. The more professional it appears the more likely you are to be taken seriously. The more interesting it is, the more likely people are going to stay and follow your call to action. The more involved they become, the more likely they are to remember it.

The following are a few items that really help in Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and prospect conversion:
