Every small business owner, whether home-based or brick-and-mortar, should consider establishing an online presence.  A website gives potential customers peace of mind, cementing an impression that you are not a fly-by-night business and are "here to stay."  Our world is rapidly moving away from traditional media such as TV and newspapers and more towards the Internet.  Even if you do not have a physical product to sell, an informational website allows potential clients to research your business at any time.  The Internet is open 24/7, join the party and gain new business in your sleep!

I specialize in providing everything a small business needs to succeed online, including website design, graphic design, online and print marketing and business writing.  Below is more detailed information about my services, along with a price schedule.

It is easy and affordable to have a website designed and hosted!  A basic website using my template, your logo and your choice of colors and fonts can be developed for as little as $300.00 (for example, Bel-Air Plumbing.)  I can design and host a one-page informational website (for example, Flower Girls Gifts) for as little as $100.00 plus $60.00/year (that's only $5.00/month!)  If you need to purchase a domain name, I can give you a source where you may do so for as little as $7.95/year!

Do you need help writing the copy for your website or marketing materials?  I have a great deal of business writing experience and can assist in this area.

Do you collect your customers' e-mail and/or street addresses?  This is a highly effective form of marketing.  It has been proven that it is far easier to sell again to former customers than it is to cultivate new ones.  You can sign up for an e-mail marketing service but they charge a monthly fee depending upon the number of e-mails you send out every month.  This adds up very quickly, especially if you'd like to keep in touch with your customers on a weekly basis.  I can develop a user-friendly system for you which allows you to maintain an e-mail database and send professional-looking e-mail to your customers at any interval you choose.  If you have a "snail mail" address book, I can create a database for you and even give you the option to print out address labels.  There are no additional monthly fees for this valuable service!

Do you sell a product or service and need a way to keep track of your sales?  I can create a secure online system for you which will allow you to enter data and run reports.  An online system is so convenient because you are able to update and view your data at any computer with an internet connection.

Are you interested in selling products on eBay or Etsy?  I can create an eBay template for you, graphics for your eBay store and graphics for your Etsy store.  I have been selling on eBay since 1999 and know how to create effective listings.

Once your project is complete I can help you with ideas for free or low-cost online marketing and search engine optimization.

With my educational, corporate and small business ownership experience, I am not your typical "computer geek" who can only understand technical matters and is not able to grasp the business or creative sides of a project.  Contact me and I would be happy to work with you to devise a solution customized for your business needs.
