Little Guy Creations offers reasonably priced web-design and related services.
We have recently acquired the CheckIt WebDesign company clients and will be fulfilling those contracts through Little Guy Creations. We are not involved or doing anything with CheckItLocal.com or the other CheckIt corporation services. As far as we know, those services are no longer available.
Some of our services:
Basic Website Creation
We create hand coded, custom websites for $600 per page. (Hosting is separate, as noted below.) The fee includes creating the site up to current coding and SEO standards. I’ll also install Google Analytics so you can see what results you are getting. We will answer your questions about how websites and search engines work and present you with a mockup for you to approve. We also will tweak the mockup until you’re happy with the design. Pages can have submission forms, PayPal buttons, Image Galleries, Social Media Links and more.
Our goal is to present a finished website to you within 21 days. Upon approval, we apply the design across all your pages and with the final payment, copies of the website code and associated files become your property to do with as you wish. Note:Unless we have a great relationship where we’ve worked together over time, we require fees before beginning any work. We can stop working at any time and we will return whatever fees I have not earned. You will be provided with whatever files and work we have completed.
Website Hosting
We offer two options:
Limited Hosting: We will host your website for $30 per month, payable in full or half for the year. This includes setting up or managing emails and being available to answer your technical questions. (We periodically get calls asking for technical help unrelated to web design like setting up printers or fixing software settings in programs. This Limited Hosting option covers that.) Limited Hosting does not include site updates.
Unlimited Support & Hosting: This option is $1500 for a year, with multiple payment options and includes tech help and email support. More importantly, it offers website promotion, unlimited updates, ongoing search engine optimization and monthly reports about your sites’ rankings, plus suggestions on how to improve your search engine rankings.
Updating Your Current Site and Web Work
If all you want is some work done on your website, we charge $125 per hour. Any updates will be done to your satisfaction and to current SEO standards. Major upgrades or across the board improvement will, of course, take longer and we will let you know ahead of time what sort of price range you are looking at.
Besides adding pictures and text, updates do include adding a flash video or embedding a YouTube video. They are really great for engaging with your site visitors and visitors will stay on your site longer. We can recommend a videographer if you need one.
Blog Installation
Blogging can be a fantastic viral marketing tool and is a great way to be seen as an expert in your field. You can keep visitors coming back to your website on a daily or weekly basis with posts on current events related to your business, promoting product launches, work samples, press releases and news on company events. The more often you blog, the better the results.
If you want a blog, it will cost $600 to be all setup and hosted for one year. Initial training and support are included, so if you don’t know how to blog then we will show you what to do and how to do it. We will create the database and do some basic customizing, such as adding your logo to the site and so on. For more advanced work and customization, we will agree on the details and price before any further work is done.
Article and Content Writing
Our credentials include several years of website copy and review writing, along with article writing for businesses. You can see some of written comic reviews on my ArtPatient Comic Review blog, some of our web design and social media articles and some of the business articles on various sites like Article Biz and GoArticles, where we have written under the pseudonym of Jim Myers.
Keyword seeding, spelling and good grammar are included, as well as a maximum of one edit. Because of the ease of which an article can be copy/pasted, any fees are to be paid in full before any work begins.
We will write third person, conversational, keyword rich and unique 500-600 word article for you for $60.00. Longer articles are also available; 900 word articles have a $90.00 fee and 1500 word articles have a $150.00 fee. You will have full ownership of the article and the license to use it for any purpose, forever and royalty free.
For an additional $20.00, we will even distribute (syndicate) it for you on all the major article sites.
Articles are a cost-effective way to show the credibility and expertise of your business and inspire others to link back to your site and improve its search engine ranking.
Social Media Setup and Training Package
We do not have the time required to manage your Facebook, Twitter and Google+ social media accounts for you. What we can do is offer a Setup and Training package for a one time fee of $400. We will set the accounts up for you, customize them, coach you on connecting to people on social media and be available to answer questions if you have them.
