Web Design - Advanced Plan

Typically used for small to medium sized business clients that want their corporate information, product information and brand exposure online. A number of our clients choose to grow from an Advanced Plan into an e-commerce package later on, we can do this for you quickly and easily and at a reduced price. Ask us.

Price

The price for our advanced web design package starts at $495.00

Based on requested features and/or additional capabilities both the development time and the actual price of an advanced website package from Go Graphical varies from client to client. Examples include anything from our "A" and "B" lists, or any other custom function you request such as a customized forum, or a classified ads section, or a dynamic blog section. In those cases, we are very flexible in providing whatever additional functions and features you want or need. We will do our very best to keep the price as low as possible to fit your budget.

We are also authorized resellers for a large number of high end professional website applications including help desks, knowledge base systems, newsletter managers, and more. We'll recommend the systems best suited for your requirements (for example, if we have an $80 script package that will do everything you require we'll recommend that instead of billing you for 5 hours reinventing the wheel at a higher cost). We will, of course, customize all packages to fit your website style and your brand identity.

There are and never will be any hidden costs. You will know upfront before we start how much it is going to cost, and you will have a signed contract stating the facts.

Choosing a Domain Name

Your domain name should reflect what your business name is, or what your business does. You should also try to pick something that isn't difficult for customers to type! If your company name is, for example, "MacGraw Integrated Plastic Hobby Toys Ltd.", you don't want a long cumbersome domain name of macgrawintegratedplastichobbytoysltd.com. Who can type or remember that? Going with a domain name of MacGrawPlastics.com or MIPHobbyToys.com would be a far wiser choice. We can help you identify which domain name choices are available and suitable for your business, and we can also take care of the registraton for you as part of your web design package. (Domain names are $15.00 CDN per year for a .com .net or .org and $20 per year for .ca through Go Graphical's domain name registration service.)

A real-world example. One of our clients, Kinderboo Personalized Music & Gifts, chose a smart and easy to remember domain name of kinderboo.com for their website. It's easy to remember, it sounds like what their products are targeted at ("kinder" = children), it's simple to type, and their website comes up on many search engines using search terms without kinderboo.com mentioned in the search at all. The content of your website pages is what drives the results of a search, not the domain name in almost all cases. Think smart, your domain name is going to be on all your business cards and in all your print advertising. Keep it short and simple so your clients can get to you without making typing mistakes!

Choosing a webhost

If you do not have a webhost, we can recommend one for you -- we have tried countless different webhosts through the years and know which ones are: #1 reliable, #2 inexpensive and include the features you require and #3 have been in business for a long time and will continue to be in business for many years to come (nothing's worse than having your website suddenly vanish because your host went out of business!). We also do have our own webhosting available to our clients, but it is not our business focus. You are welcome to host with us, we have a 99.9% uptime guarantee and we have very fast servers and multiple redundant telco connections but you're just as welcome to host elsewhere. That's just how honest we are.
