Simple Flash Site
$750– 5 pages (additional– $50/page)
Custom Flash website. This is the kind of design you tend to see at more animated-looking, entertainment-oriented sites. Being that a lot of the sexiest image galleries and mp3 players you see online are flash, this is an ideal format for media delivery as well. One flash option is included with this package (gallery, mp3 player, video, etc). Others can be added on according to the pricing below.

PHP/MySQL CMS
$400– 2 tables/sections (additional– $75/ea)
The CMS, or Content Management System, is a second site, essentially, that communicates between a database and your website. Each table on the database governs content that displays on designated sections of your website. The CMS is made up of pages that display this data and allow you to add to it or edit what exists to your heart's content –not unlike the forms we've all become accustomed to on social networking sites such as myspace and facebook. The basic CMS price I offer figures in 2 tables of content - which is the same as saying 2 customizable regions for your website.

Banner Ads
$250– 1 size • $500– 7 sizes
This is based on the premise of the 15 second, google-friendly banner ad. Price for multiple sizes implies resizes of the original ad theme. For more complex ads, please contact me for an estimate.

Myspace Layout
$150– Spa Treatment • $300– Reconstructive Surgery
The basic package covers time for graphic development and revisions, and for implementing, testing and refining the div code that places the elements. The higher of the figures is for the 'complete overhaul' MySpace job, and includes a more thorough initial layout process, as well as a more complicated implementation script.

CD Art/Layout
$750– Full Development • $250– Layout Only
I really like working with bands, and interpreting their sound or vision in design. It takes some time to discuss, draft, revise and press-check an album, but it must be done well as a band makes a significant investment when they press a cd. This package will prove generous in any case, as it is inevitable that the album itself will prove an asset in promoting my work to future clients. A lot of bands have plenty of visual talent and ideas in the first place. I'm more than willing to make that happen, and my rate here covers my time while keeping your production costs within an affordable realm.

I also offer domain parking on my own host server to reduce costs. This means you can simply purchase the domain name you want from a service such as godaddy and pay the $10-$15/year fee they charge you and not have to worry about the $15-$25/month fee you have to shell out for actually hosting the files somewhere. I do it on mine for you!
Rates
I offer a set of package deals to make things easier, outlined below. Feel free to contact me if you need to haggle or propose a modified package deal. I'm interested in working it out with you. You can view my basic project agreement here. It's generally better for all if we sign one form the outset.Hourly – $35
This is actually pretty cheap, once you figure that a contractor has to cover tax responsibilities themselves, and quite competetive with professional peers.Project–Based
When I'm not working with an agency, this tends to be how I work it out. It's comfortable for both parties, as it guarantees that I make at least a certain figure on the project, and the client knows it's not going to get completely out-of-control, should extensive drafts or revisions prove necessary.Testimonials
