The author community has been so good to me. A large portion of my clients are either authors or book publishers, and I would like to give a little more information about the solutions that I offer for writers.
Website Redesigns - $125 - $250 (one-time fee)
For authors who already have a website I offer site redesigns to spruce up your online presence. We work together to create a more user-friendly layout and make sure your site is search engine friendly. Once the website is updated you can continue to update the site yourself using your own html editor or if you are tired of working with the html, I can customize WordPress (or cmsmadesimple) to work as a content management system (cms) so you can update your website through an online control panel.
New Websites
If you currently do not have a website, you need one. Whether you use my services or not, you need to promote your writings online. The best way to do that is to setup a website that is unique to you and your writing. When you set up a website there are four costs involved.
Domain name (www.yourname.com) - $14.00
Each website needs a domain name so people can find your information. I would suggest that you use your name in the domain name since you are really marketing yourself as an author.
Website Hosting - $135.00
What is hosting? Hosting is where your website lives. Every time you type in an address like www.websiteministries.com you are actually connecting with a computer somewhere in the world that is storing that website. Unfortunately every website needs to have hosting and it is the most expense part of having a website.
Initial Website Design - $125 - $395
I work with you to create a look and feel that fits your target audience. When I create your site I make sure that it is search engine friendly. This will allow you to rank higher in the search engines. The goal is to create a website design that is clean, efficient and promotes your work. If you want more information on the design process take a look at the design process page.
Content Updates - $25
I charge $25.00 an hour for updates to your website. Generally speaking you can update two or three pages for $12.50. My minimum charge is for a half hour of work ($12.50). Of course if you choose to do your own updates with an html editor, or you have me setup your website to utilize a content management system, then you don't need to worry about
this expense.
