Webpage Designer For Hire
I am a South Dakota Freelance Web Designer for hire. I designed my very first html coded website back in 2000 and am currently expanding my skills to include CSS style sheets.
As I continue to learn and grow as a web designer, I am offering my services at a ridiculously low price.
So if you run an online shop through etsy or Zazzle, or have a handful of items you create and sell each month through Paypal's buy now buttons, and want one central location to send your web traffic, clients, customers, friends, and family, you should really give my services a try!
Don't lose traffic or sales with a scattered web presence. Order your gateway page today!
Create A Professional Web Presence
This "gateway" option is perfect for
- someone who wants a single, central location on the web that sends visitors to various online activities, or
- someone just starting out online and not ready to invest in a fancy website with all the bells and whistles, or
- someone who prefers to use a point-and-click online shopping cart system (like etsy) but wants to control first impressions, or
- someone who has written a book or produced a music cd and wants to showcase that product and sell it via affiliate links (i.e. Amazon or Smashwords), or
- someone who sells handcrafted goods but also wants to sell their services as a workshop instructor.
Affordable Web Design Services For Hire
I'll design a simple, low-key, 5 page website for just $175.
I can also customize one of the templates on Blogger.com for just $125.
If you want to add content later, or an extra web page, my rates are just $25 per web page using the existing design template and keeping content to under 1,500 words of text with up to 4 supporting images, and up to 3 embedded urls.(You'll need to provide all supporting materials for me to input.)
Everything else is billed at my my hourly rate, plus expenses (if any).
Additional fees will be discussed and agreed upon BEFORE they are incurred.

Steps To Getting Your Website Online
- Consultation
Initial half hour consultation by email about design, color scheme, and navigation. - Contract
You will need to sign a contract and make payment before we begin work on your website or blog. - Revisions
Three (3) rounds of revisions regarding the overall design.
Revisions are not complete re-designs, but rather tweaks to a design we initially agree upon.
Design revisisions cannot be made once the content is added to the design. - Content Implementaiion
Text, images, banner, logo, and/or buttons are supplied by you.
If you don't have a logo or banner, I can create a simple text baner, on top of one of your images, similar to what you see on this site.
If you need help writing your content, I can do that for an aditional fee. - Design and Content Proofing
Double check spelling, grammar, and punctuation.
Run compatability checker to make sure design is compatible across several Internet browsers.
Make sure html, css, dwt, and js codes are error-free. - Ready Images For Web
Use "save for web" feature in Photoshop Elements to reduce the file size of your images, making them load faster. - Shop Set Up
This is not an e-commerce set-up on your website, but rather the creation of a shopping portal to an existing shopping cart.
Your shop page would utilize an online shop widget or affiliate link.
If you don't use an outside shopping portal, we could add up to five (5) product images with text and links to an outside shopping cart like Paypal's "Buy Now" buttons or e-junkie's ready-to-go shopping cart.

See etsy widget in action here and here.

You'll need to purchase a domain name and a reliable web host before your site can be uploaded to the Internet. And you'll need to choose a web host that has a CPanel and Fantastico support system in place.

- Photo gallery.
