This professional one-page site includes a domain name like www.yourcompany.com and a personal email address that you choose, like name@yourcompany.com. You get support and occasional updates to your content, because you never know when things will change. Best of all, there’s no set-up fee, and no commitment.
Most companies ask you to make arrangements with many different companies to get your website going. Or, if you're lucky, you can get all the services from the same place, but extra charges are added on. We include everything in our packages and stick with you the whole way.
Our prices for every plan include
We are willing to do extra work beyond what's in our packages, and we do charge for that. But our complete packages include everything you are likely to need.
A little bit of fine print. Occasionally, below, you'll find the phrase “within reason”. That means that we don't expect you to ever run into a limit, but, in fact, servers are finite. If you want to, say, store 20,000 images, we might not be able to handle it. In that case, we'll come to you and find a solution. 500 words and 2 pictures is a pretty typical web page. If you were to have web pages three times that size, and were to create a hundred of them, you wouldn't reach a limit. However, storing many high-resolution images, videos, or music files might. Similarly, if we offer a service “within reason”, that means we don't have to give you so much service that it puts our business in jeopardy. Nobody wants that!
Your domain name is the name of your business on the internet. It might or might not match the name of your company.
For example, DutchBros.com belongs to the coffee company, dutch-brothers.com is about dirt bikes, and there's a dutchbrothersgranite.com that is a Phoenix countertop installer. In Denver, there's a Dutch Brothers Flower Market. They're dutchflowermarket.com.
We'll use your existing domain name, or help you choose one. We'll even help you figure out whether you own one or not.
We will keep your domain name current, renewing for as long as you're our customer. Once you're not, you can take your domain name with you.
(At the end of your contract you can take your domain name with you.)

A web host is a computer “server”—actually, more than one—that's maintained for the purpose of making sure your website is available on the internet all the time. Your domain name is mapped to a number that tells the other computers on the internet where to find your web page. Most web designers require you to find a web hosting service on your own. With Web Presence, it's included.
Simple Easy One: one page
Compare with:
Simple Easy Business: five pages
Simple Easy Pro: unlimited (within reason)
Your website will be backed up daily, so in the event of an “internet disaster” we can get you back up and running quickly.

After you've approved your site, life will change. It always does. You'll change your store hours, or get a new company car. Whatever happens, we'll keep your site up to date.
Let us know when you want to change the content (not the design, please!), and we'll take care of it. (Some plans let you change it yourself, as well.) Your fee covers a certain number of “full-service” changes per year. (Those include writing and editing as well. Please see “included complete pages” below.)
Simple Easy One: 2 page content-changes every 12 months
Compare with:
Simple Easy Business: 12 page content-changes every 12 months

We want you to have complete confidence in your web site. For that reason, you'll have access to support for as long as you're with us.
We will respond to e-mails within 23 hours (often much sooner). We'll chat on instant messaging (IM) when we're able.

We could say that we'll get your site done as soon as you send us some great content. That's what a lot of web-designers say. And if you already have a Word document that describes your company in 500 well-chosen words, we'll be happy to use it. But if you're more like the rest of us, we'll ask you some easy questions, and then come up with SEO content for you. (In case you don't know, SEO means search-engine optimized, and that means content that Google finds interesting, and so will show to more people.)
A “page” for these purposes, is up to 500 words (provided by you or us) and up to two pictures (usually provided by you).
Simple Easy One: one page

If you're active on the internet, you may find you want to tie things together. Using small programs called widgets, we can make your tweets appear on your web site, or include data from facebook or other favorite web hang-outs.
