Web sites vary greatly in price depending on size and complexity. My rate is $25 per hour. Designing a site from concept to launch can run anywhere from $169 to $439 or more. Most projects I handle come in at less than $439. For an idea of what your site might cost, please give me a call or send me an email. If you see a site that is somewhat similar in size and function to the one you wish to build, I can give you a quick estimate. For a more in-depth consultation, let's get together in person or over the phone to talk about your options. After discussing the details of your project, I can give you an estimate and answer any additional questions. For an appointment, call (608)792-0960 or email La Crosse Web Solutions with our contact form

This depends on the size of the project. I try to have your site up and running for you in a week or two, larger sites could take longer. You can speed up the process by having all your images and text ready for me. If you come to me with a realistic deadline and you have all the materials on hand, I will be glad to work within your time frame.

Yes! I live in La Crosse, WI, but I can still worked with clients around the United States.

Your web site belongs to you and its maintenance is your choice. I have helped many clients learn to make updates to their own sites. Most prefer to have me make these changes for them. I can edit your site based on my hourly rate of $25 in 15-minute increments with a minimum charge of $10

During our initial meeting we will discuss key words and phrases people will use with the search engines when they are looking for your site or sites like yours. We will incorporate these key words and phrases into the text of your web site and create what are called meta tags. These are invisible to visitors to your site but will help the search engines find you. From the very beginning, we will focus on making your site search engine-friendly. And once your site is up and running, you will have a number of options for promoting it through search engines. I can help you sort through the choices.

Yes. Your web server will keep detailed statistics on how many visits your site receives as well as information about where those hits come from. It is useful to review these statistics when you are devising ways to increase traffic to your site.

A web site is made up of files like those you have on your desktop computer. To make your web site accessible to other people, the files that make up your site must be placed on a host computer that is connected to the Internet around the clock. This host computer is called a web server.

Web hosting usually starts around $48 per year or $5.00 per month. Actual cost depends on your web site's size, use and how many visits it receives.

I contract hosting through a large company, giving my clients several advantages at a competitive price. You have the benefit of reliability and speed through the large company plus personalized, easily accessible support through me. I provide each of my clients with professional service and personal attention to their projects, regardless of size and complexity.

The lacrossewebsolutions.com part of my web address is an example of a domain name.

Your domain name will simply be a name of your choosing followed by .com, .net, .org or one of the other available extensions. However, since many domain names are already taken by others, we may have to get creative. The key is to find an available domain name that is easy for people to remember and spell. Then, we must register it at a cost of $8.95 per year. Once you have registered a domain name, it effectively belongs to you until you decide to stop paying the annual fee. Even if you're not quite ready to build your site, you can register and hold a domain name. This will reserve it for your use until you have built your site and are ready to launch it.

E-commerce is just a word for conducting business on the web instead of doing it in person, through the mail or over the phone. It can involve anything from retail purchases, bill-paying and banking to business-to-business transactions.

A shopping cart is an automated program that runs on your web server and lets customers click on items they want to purchase as they browse your site. When this online shopping is complete, the shopping cart program adds up the cost of the items much like a cash register. It prompts the customer to fill out a form asking for credit card and shipping information. Next, it calculates shipping and taxes, then totals and confirms the order for the customer onscreen. It will also send the customer an email to reconfirm the online purchase.

Online marketing is done exclusively on the web or through the use of email. Various types of Online / Internet Marketing include:

Optimization
Optimization is for the use of ranking high on Search Engines, by providing the Search Engines with what it looks for in a quality authority site.
