WEB DESIGN AND MANAGEMENT
2Wired specializes in the creation and management of websites for individuals and businesses. Our services range from creating one or more pages for an individual's personal homepage where friends and family from all over the globe can visit their homepage on the Internet and read the latest news and see the latest photos of the individual's family; to creating and managing very large in-depth websites for businesses designed to increase exposure and awareness of the services and products that the business has to offer or direct sales of products through the internet. We also update, modify, and manage existing websites. We have the equipment to scan logos, photos, clip-art, and whatever else you would like for your website. We can also make custom logos, banners, scrolling text boxes and a variety of other graphics. We can place entire catalogs or documents on your website in Adobe's .PDF format for easy viewing or download by visitors to your website. We can make your website interactive through the use of Java and Javascript.
We can provide domain name registration for your website. What this means is that your website address will be www.yourcompany.com , (like microsoft.com, ibm.com, ford.com, etc.) instead of www.serviceprovider.com / homepages / yourcompany. This makes it a lot easier for people to remember your website address and it looks a lot better for your company's image. With your own domain, you also get e-mail such as sales@yourcompany.com, president@yourcompany.com, orders@yourcompany.com, etc.
We make all the arrangements to get your website on the Internet as quickly as possible. We get you 200MB of server space in addition to 10MB for e-mail. This is a HUGE amount of space for websites. The average company's website with several pages and graphics is usually around 1-3MB. The large amount of server space allows you to have multiple sites if you have multiple businesses but wish to have one domain or it allows you to place entire catalogs of data or graphics archives on your site without having to worry about space. You get 6GB per month of bandwidth which means thousands of visits to your page per day!
We can maintain your website, making all the necessary changes and updates as you desire. Changes take effect immediately on the Internet. If you are having a special or a sale on a product, we can make the change to your website and get it on the Internet within a few hours. We can put secure order forms on your website so that customers can order products or services online accessed through a secure server without worrying about compromising their credit card information. We can put feedback forms on your website in order for you to gather information from customers and potential customers. This allows you to get feedback on services that you provide or products that you sell or get feedback on services or products that customers would like to see in the future.
The Internet is a very inexpensive way to promote your business and advertise on a global scale, that's why all of the major corporations either have a website or are quickly working on one.
For your Domain Name Registration, we will search to make sure that the name you desire is available, submit and oversee the registration process with Internic, the agency responsible for Domain Name Registration.
The cost to register your domain name with Internic is $70 (this covers the first two years) and $35 each subsequent year. You will be billed directly by Internic, not us. This assures you that your domain name is registered to you. As long as you pay your yearly fees, you own your domain name and can lease it, sell it, or do whatever you want with it.
Our fees for the creation and management of your website will vary depending upon the complexity and time involved to create and manage it, but are very reasonable and very competitive.
For an individual's homepage, we charge $150 to create 1-4 pages which usually includes a main page, a links page with the individual's favorite links to websites, and one or two photo pages. If the individual does not wish to have their own domain name, we can either upload their homepage to their Internet Service Provider's (ISP) server where they will be responsible for paying whatever their ISP charges to host their webpage. We can make changes and updates to the individual's homepage for $40 an hour (computer time spent making changes and uploading). This is very reasonable; there are webmasters that charge upwards of $100 an hour. If the individual's ISP does not provide server space for a homepage we can host it on one of our servers for $15 a month with a 5MB limit and no e-mail service (we can forward e-mail if desired so that you can have an e-mail address of anyname@ourdomain.com.
For a business website the fees to create and manage it can only be accurately determined after consultation with the business owner. The estimates below are for a 5-7 page website with 1 or 2 custom graphics.
We charge around $600 - $800 to create an average website for a small to medium size business. A good estimate is about $80 per page (2 hours of computer time) unless a particular page is graphics intensive and/or includes additional features such as Java or Javascript in which case that particular page would be more depending upon the extra time required to create custom graphics or write Javascript or Java programs. If it is a simple page with just a few links or text and no custom graphics and it only takes us an hour to create, then the charge for that page would only be $40. Changes and updates to the website once it has been completed to the customer's satisfaction would be done for $40 per hour. The majority of our graphics are designed with transparent backgrounds so that they can be used with any background so that if you decide you would like a different background for all of your webpages at a later time it can be accomplished very easily. This saves time in making changes and saves you money. In addition, you will have a fixed charge of $15.95 per month to host your site on the server with 200MB of website space and 10MB for e-mail with 6GB per month of bandwidth. Contact us and let us know what you want for your website and we can give you a better estimate of costs.
If you are a smaller business that only needs a website of 5-7 pages and don't desire your own domain name, we can host your business website on one of our servers for $20 a month. You get 10MB of server space with a limit of 65MB/day of bandwidth. Your setup fee would only be $25 in addition to the creation and management fees. Your website address would be www.ourdomainname.com/yourcompanyname instead of www.yourcompanyname.com.

If you're ready to get started and get your company on the Internet, you can go to our secure information form and submit your personal information and credit card information so that we can begin setting up the server space. A charge of $25 for setup and the first month's server fee of $15.95 will be charged to your credit card. After that the server company will bill you $15.95 per month or charge it on your credit card.
