Website Package: $1825

Need a new responsive website, on a budget?

We’ll get you online in a week!

We know that money can be tight when you’re working as a solopreneur, an artist, or starting out a new small business or non-profit. You’re probably trying to do everything yourself, including accounting, marketing and getting online. It can be overwhelming. And some important things may get deferred longer than they should be.

If creating a new website is on your to do list, we can help you put a giant check-mark by it within a few weeks! If you can make time up front to pull together the content, we can get you online IN A WEEK for just $1825 + GST.

What you need to prepare…

1. write the content for up to 8 pages of your website (in a Word document)
2. locate high-resolution files of any photos you want included (at least 1000 x 1000 pixels)
3. locate a vector graphic file of your logo (if you have a logo)
4. choose stock photos from our stock photo supplier

Here’s how it works…

• We provide up to 30 minutes of telephone and/or email communications time prior to your purchase, to help you confirm this is the right package for your project.
• We help you over the phone to buy a domain and hosting.
• We provide an additional 1 hour of communications time during the project to answer any questions you have. (More communications time can be purchased at $75/hour.)
• We purchase up to 6 photos of your choice from our stock photo account.
• We install and configure your new WordPress website.
• We install a contact form on your site.
• If you have a Google Analytics account, and know the password for it, we install a code snippet to allow Google Analytics to monitor activity on your site.
• We enter and format up to 8 pages of text that you prepared up front. (Extra pages can be requested for $50 – $100/page, depending on complexity.)
• We incorporate your photos and logo into the site.
• We customize the fonts and colours on your website to coordinate with your logo and/or photographs.
• We launch your website.
• We provide you with one two-hour training session on how to maintain your website. This is done by Zoom, and the session is recorded and put online in a password-protected place, so you can access it in future to remind yourself how to do things.
• You can add new pages – as many as you want – yourself after launch and training.
• You get the option to purchase hourly support packages from us in the future.

What’s Not Included

• Annual domain and hosting costs ($95 – $120/year).
• Written documentation on how to maintain the website yourself.
• Additional plugins or ecommerce features.
• Additional modification of the theme you choose (other than font and colours).

Is this Package for Me?

‘Website in a Week’ is suitable for those who need to share information (up to 8 pages) on their website. It’s not designed to support eCommerce and other highly interactive activities.

It’s a good fit for you if you know who you are trying to reach with your website and what you want them to do after they’ve visited your website, and if you are comfortable preparing your content and choosing photographs without support from us. It’s also a good choice when you want a new website to replace an old website, and you just want us to take the content from the old site.

The package is suitable for:

• Start-up ventures which are ‘testing the market’ with a new product or service.
• Organizations that need to create a website quickly for a tradeshow or other time-sensitive event.
• Small businesses, solopreneurs and non-profits working with budget constraints.
• Organizations that need to replace an existing website that is either broken or outdated style-wise. (We can take the content and any suitably sized images direct from your existing website, saving you on preparation time.)

Example Websites

To keep this product affordable, we always use the same WordPress theme: a theme whose fonts, colours, photos and home page layout can be customized to reflect your organization and the content you want to share.

To keep the website easy for you to maintain, we use the WordPress Classic editor, which works like Microsoft Word. This editor does not support complicated layouts; however, it has the advantage of a quick learning curve. (Also, complicated layouts can require a lot of time testing and debugging new pages to make sure they work on various mobile devices.)

Here are example websites that we’ve created with this theme:

Non-Profit Websites

• Sechelt Garden Club
• Equity Action
• Gibsons Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre (with extra pages beyond this package)
• Vancouver Hardy Plant Group
• Sunshine Coast Community Task Force
• Reed Road Forest
• Sunshine Coast Dance Society
• Vancouver Japanese United Church (This website includes an online archive, which would be far beyond the scope of the Website in a Week package. But the site uses the same theme as the other examples above and provides an example of how the fonts, colours and photographs can make a big difference in the mood of the site.)

Small Business Websites

• Pedals and Paddles
• Wild for Windmill Palms
• Poppins Quilt Parlour

Ready to Start?

Contact us to book a week in our schedule… or if you have questions. We’ll get back to you as quickly as we can.

You’ll need to pay a 50% deposit to have a week of our time put aside. Then you just write those 8 pages and choose your 6 stock photos before the Monday when we start. By Friday evening of that week, your new site will be live!
