You agree to host your web site with Virginia website design for just $10 a month, paid annually. You get a free home page design. You can then use the home page as a template for building the inside pages of your site. On average, a typical inside page takes about an hour to do when it consists of text and a few photos. They discount their design and coding rate to just $25/hr for their hosted customers, which means that on average you'll pay just $25 for each inside page.

More complex pages will require more web page design time. Examples of pages that take longer than average to complete include pages with Flash animation, movies, custom-made graphics, etc. You remain in control of the budget every step of the way. If you need to have a domain name registered, they'll do that for an additional $10 a year. Here is how it works. First, figure out what pages you want on your site and how you want them organized. Then, take a text editor such as Microsoft Word® and create a separate text document for each web page. You do not have to include the photos in the Word document. A simple note in brackets saying something like [include photo HST342 here] is sufficient. You are also responsible for supplying all photos, graphics, logos, etc. that you want us to use via email or mailed CD. If you want us to search for photos or graphics to use, or create an illustration or logo or a flash movie or some other video, it will cost extra.

Virginia website design will also ask you to do some web surfing to identify two or three websites (of any kind) with a look you like. Just send us the URLs (web addresses) of the sites, and tell us what in particular you like about each one. For instance, if one has a color scheme that you really like, that's what you should tell us. Or if one has a particular kind of border that you like, or buttons, or hyperlinks, or photos, or anything else in particular that you like, you should tell us that too. This way, they'll have a better chance of reproducing that mental picture of your ideal website that you have in your head.
