Economical Web Design

If you're on a tight budget, we can start with this attractive template to keep your costs down, and we will customize the text, photos, and background images to make it all your own.

Not everyone can afford a top quality custom website design. Fortunately, we have an economical plan that is well-suited for a tight budget. We created this completely custom design from scratch, so that only Griffin Web Design customers have access to this design (unlike some of the templates out there that are resold over and over). Then we customize this layout for you by changing out the background images (in both the main area and the top, header area). We change out the logo or company name area, as well as all the text and photos in the content area. The result is a look that's all your own, at a fraction of the cost (see an example here).

That's right, we only charge $540 for this template-based home page, and that includes the purchase of all the stock images you may need (for both the background and the content areas).

We start with an interview to understand your needs, your target audience, and any preferences such as color schemes or font styles, etc. Then we create a mockup of the economical web design template using images that suit your business. We let you preview it before we build it, so you can let us know if it needs anything to be tweaked. Then once you've approved the mockup, we build the site for you from start to finish.

You can start with only a single page (with the option to add on later if desired), or you can add on as many pages as you'd like right from the start. Below are a few optional add-ons:

• Additional pages may be added now or later for only $90 to $135 per page. (The price depends on the layout of the page. Most sub pages are only $90, but some are a little more involved, and those cost $135. We'll let you know if your page is more involved before we create it.)
• If desired, you may add on a content management system (CMS) for only $180. This will allow you to edit the text or photos in the content area of any existing page yourself. If you don't want to add on a CMS, you can always send us changes to your content to do for you in the future, and we'd be happy to quote you on any additional work. We only charge $90 an hour, with a quarter-hour minimum, so small changes are only $22.50.
• We can add custom animation for a one-time setup fee of $400. Keep in mind that, animation is nice to have a little movement to the site, but it doesn't help you in search engines, so it's really all about your personal preference.
• All our other add-ons are available, such as hosting, marketing, etc.

Keep in mind that, while you can easily add on to a template-based site, there is no cost savings involved in upgrading from a template to a custom design (it would be a full redesign), so if you are wishing you could go with a custom design, it may make more sense to start with a custom designed home page and keep your costs down by going with fewer subpages that you could easily add later. Of course, feel free to contact us so we can guide you through the process and help you make the smartest decision based on your specific situation.

So give us a call today, and let's get started!
