Services

At Bitwave Design we do a wide variety of stuff, but since your time is important, we've attempted to describe here only the most important facts about the services we offer.

Design

If you are starting from scratch, we can work with you to create a site that will work for you, whether you are a large company or a small home business. We also do redesigns and site fixes, and can create a custom logo for your site.

Our goal is to help you create a site for your business that is professional looking, easy to navigate, and easy to use. See our portfolio for examples.

Technology

We are familiar with the latest website technologies. For example, our sites are built using CSS, PHP and (X)HTML, which makes them cleaner, easy to maintain, and compatible with portable devices like cellphones.

We know how to use other stuff like Java and Flash, but more importantly we know how to use these technologies wisely. Simple is better. Complication can cause broken sites, slow downloads, and annoyed customers.

Hosting

Every website needs a home, or 'host'. We've been reliably hosting customer websites for almost 10 years. Our hosting plan for most websites is $11 per month, and includes e-mail accounts, full site statistics, and supports all the latest web technologies.

And don't worry, we'll take care of all the details associated with the setup and maintenance. Also note that most of our design packages include several months of hosting.

Promotion

What good is your shiny new site if nobody visits? We'll help you draw more visitors by helping you promote it and assisting you in keeping the content of your site fresh.We don't rely on gimmicks like 'submitting to search engines', 'tweaking meta tags' and other outdated tactics.

We'll explain how to really get more customers to your site, and then help you do it. Note that most of our design packages include several months of web site promotion.

The Proof

This all sounds good, but how do you know if all this will really help your business? First, check out our portfolio, then contact us with your questions. Finally, just sit back and relax while we transform your ideas into a website!

Domain Names

A domain name is your website's address on the internet, like www.bitwavedesign.com. You'll need at least one for your new site, but you can have several if you'd like, all for the same website.

If you don't already have one, we can register a domain name for you and we'll also keep track of it so that you don't lose it when it expires. Registration fee is $15 for the first year and only $10 after that.

Pricing

We prefer to charge by the job, not by the hour, page, number of images, and so forth. Depending on the size of your website and desired features, prices may increase slightly. Here are some popular website packages:

Custom Site Deluxe: $650.00+

This package includes almost everything! We first design a new site from scratch (no templates, all original stuff) to your approval. Then we help you choose and purchase a domain name and start hosting it.

Then, for the next 3 months we work with you to tweak your site and promote it. This process is crucial, because otherwise your new site could go ignored.

Template Site Deluxe: $400.00+

This package is identical to the previous one, except we generate your site based on a more basic template. This can help you to save money and get online faster. Also note that we can upgrade your template site to a custom one at any time.

What does it cost to maintain my site?

Once your site is up and running, you simply need to continue to pay for web hosting. Also, for as little as $5 per month we will continue to work with you to promote your site and keep it fresh.

Other Stuff

We also design logos, business cards and brochures to go along with your new site. Contact us for details.
