Services not eligible for the senior discount.
- Creating websites: $400.
- Maintaining websites:
We have two website maintenance packages (basic and complete). Here is the information for both of them.
- Basic maintenance: The cost of the website provider plus $45 a month per website:
Research is not included in our basic website maintenance price. By research, we mean when the client asks us to look up something specific. We have to charge for this because good research can take a lot of time to do.
Because our basic website maintenance fee is only $45 a month, this includes proofreading and basic changes (for example, a simple color change, changing a code, or changing text). If what you want requires us to have to put in a lot of extra hours to make the desired changes for your site (for example, creating buttons for a rollover effect, new images, merging images, and creating slideshows), we will have to charge an assignment fee which is currently $44 for each assignment. The reason we have to do this is to justify the time it takes to create this items since $29 alone does not cover anywhere near the time it takes for this work.
- Complete maintenance package: The cost of the website provider plus $150 per month per website.
This package includes everything the basic website maintenance package has, but also includes research and assignments.
-
For both website packages, we do charge for reimbursement if we have to purchase or renew something that the client wants or needs such as a domain, template, or website hosting provider if the client opts to create a separate account or use a different provider than the one we currently use. If you decide not to use the maintenance, we are not responsible for the website if it goes down. If any changes you make will be $44 each time you make a change. Also, if the website goes down for any reason, it will be $44 to get it back up and running.
- Transcription: $0.92 per audio minute.

- Prints of individual photos can be purchased at $2 per photo paper print of sizes 8.5x11 or smaller and $5 per photo paper print of larger sizes (possibly $10 for very large sizes). Other types of prints (such as canvas, acrylic, and metal) are available for what it costs us to get them printed plus 10%.
