Frequently Asked Questions

You should have a clear vision of what you want: purpose, audience, content. What image do you want to project? What do you want to communicate? It might be helpful to come to me with some specific examples of sites you like so that I can get a feel for what you're interested in. Once you're ready to approach me with some initial ideas, I offer a free, no obligation consultation to better understand your goals, determine if I can meet them, and provide you with a proposal and quote. The consultation will occur via email and phone, or if you prefer, this can be done in person if you're in the Portland, Oregon area. If you accept the proposal and quote, 50% of the cost is then collected before work begins on the site and the rest is due upon completion of the project.

I base my prices on the specific needs and scope of individual projects. There are a number of factors that figure into the price quotes: size of website, specific site functionality, graphic design needs, etc. I don't have a cookie-cutter price list of "packages" because each project is different, and I want to provide you with custom design services that are tailored to your unique situation. Contact me for your free initial consultation, and I'll provide you with a written quote. My hourly rate for web maintenance is $55. Custom graphics such as logos and business cards are quoted per project. I can help you define the scope of what can be done within your budget.

Yes, I do offer web and graphic design discounts for non-profits depending on my client load and availability. I also offer discounted web maintenance rates for non-profits. Contact me for more info.

Although my business is focused on small businesses and community organizations, I can build personal websites as well depending on my availability. If you're wanting to start up a blog, put up a gallery of your digital photos, create a wedding, baby, or family website, I can work with you to make it happen.

This will depend on the scale and complexity of the site and can take from 2 weeks to 3 months. A timeline will be provided with your proposal and quote. Let me know if you have a specific deadline to make, and I can let you know if I can meet it.
