1) The initial Set-up (Getting your name)

Depending on where you go this rate can range from $4.95 to $100 or more per year. Be sure to read all of the fine print before establishing your name on the web. Some places will charge a small up front fee but lock you into expensive multi-year hosting contracts.

2) The initial design.

You will find companies on the web that offer "Professional" design work for pennies. What you get are simple templates that many others use, and nothing that makes your site different from the rest.

SizzlingDesign.com provides all custom designed sites that are unique to each client. Your site is an extension of your business and deserves more than a cookie-cutter design. Our team works with you to determine your strengths and your inherent differences and puts this information in front of your audience.

The cost of a truly professionally designed site is usually less than running just one ad in a trade magazine.

3) Hosting (storage of your site on a server so that it can be viewed by current and potential customers).

This rate fluctuates throughout the web. Some places offer free hosting with hidden costs and others charge outrageous hosting fees that can hit $100 per month or more.

Hosting costs are determined by your company's needs (Online Store, Photo Gallery, Simple Info Pages, etc.). SizzlingDesign.com will never sell you more than you need. Your monthly hosting with SizzlingDesign.com will usually be around the cost of your internet provider (AOL, etc.).

4) Upkeep and changes.

These costs are also based on needs and need to be discussed while the site is being initially designed.
