A Website Where YOU Control and Maintain the Content?

No more waiting for your website person to fix a typo or update your information. You are in control. A website is a must for any rug hooker. You can share your rugs with friends and family just by giving out your website. For rug hooking teachers it is a must. When your name appears on a workshop’s list of teachers, most students will Google your name. Will they find you? Use a web site to show a gallery of your work. You can sell items through your website using PayPal, a safe and easy to use internet payment system. List your contact information so students and directors can reach you. If you can send an email with a photo, you can create content with pictures for your web site.

Initial set up: $350.00, this includes your first year of hosting and domain. Click here for an explanation on how to do it for free.

The set up fee is a one time charge that includes:

• Registering/transferring the domain name of your choice.
• Setting up a customized email such as yourname@yourwebsite.com
• Installation of a theme of your choice with customized colors.
• Placement of photos in the header or background, if desired.
• Installation and activation of free plug-ins based on your needs. On my site I am using an email subscription service, automatic backup, contact form and others.
• No per page fees because you can create as many pages as you like on your own. It is as simple as sending an email.
• Telephone support. This means you have someone to call –me!
• Placement of view cart button for PayPal and I will walk you through how to create PayPal buttons for each item you want to sell. For sites with many items, I recommend upgrading to the plug-in I use for a one time fee of $200.
• Backups and upgrades.

Yearly fee: $102.00 due each year beginning 11 months after initial setup. Hosting must be paid 12 months in advance.  The first year is included in the setup fee.

This will be billed to you automatically 30 days before your due date.  Must be paid in full 30 days before the anniversary date to continue service.

• Optional: Spam filtering $15.00 additional per year.

More Technical Stuff

• Website is based on a WordPress Installation
• Code is CSS based and does not use tables
• Anti-spam service is available for each email address for an additional $15 per year
• Favicon added at no charge.  I need a 16 x 16 pixel image.  Look at the browser tab above.  My favicon is a tiny hook.
• For sites that want to sell many items (like my site) I recommend a plug-in that costs $200 for the license and set up. This is a one-time charge. No monthly or yearly fees or percentages on what you sell. You are responsible for the entry of the products so you can or change them any time you like.
• Please contact me for a quote if you would like a completely customized design or a copy of your existing site. This package includes installation of a free theme with minor customizations such as color changes or header image. See the www.wordpress.org site for a wide range of choices.

The website you are viewing now is a fully customized WordPress site. For a custom design, please contact me for a quote. In most cases, I can make your new site look just like your old one – except YOU can control the content. No more waiting for your webmaster.

If you decide that you want to discontinue this service, I will transfer your domain name back to you. There may be a fee involved from your new hosting company, but I do not charge for this service. I will email you a copy of your complete database for re-installation on your new host and I will back up and email to you a zipped copy of your current theme if it is a custom theme. All others can be downloaded to your new hosting company from the original provider. You can discontinue hosting at any time, but no refunds for the unused time will be made. Installation on your new host is not included.
