Welcome to Defends Designs. I started designing websites just a little over 10 years ago. I work very quick, in fact you won't find anyone who works quicker then I do. I have purchased domains for customers, and had content online in less than 3 hours. I have chosen to have a limited number of clients because I have a full time vocation outside of Defends Designs, however I am adding clients now. The support I offer before, during, and after the design process is top-of-the-line. I have outlined some things you can mull over to decide which way you want to go with your website. Just follow the links on the left side of the page. A lot of my customers leave a lot of things up to me, so feel free to be involved to the maximum, or more minimally involved, as you set back and watch your website come alive! Thank You!


PREPARATION. 1) Start with making a record of what you are going to need in a diary or on a tablet. We charge by the page, so you may want to see how many pages it will take to showcase your material. 2) Pictures quickly fill up a page. Thumbnails that link to bigger pictures are a good way to save space and get some text on the page to make your material understandable. 3) In preparing your Website, I found it helpful to create categories. You may have categories like "photos, contact info, services, products, personnel, business hours" and so on. 4) Obviously, you need a good name for your domain. Short names are preferred so people can remember, and can spell them. Sometimes a longer domain name may be necessary. You need to check, or have us check if certain names are available. 5) You need to start collecting photos if you want your own pictures on the site. We can take digital photos for you, or scan pictures you may have. There is no charge for photos we take, but there will be a small travel charge to come to your location spending the time taking the pictures. 6) It would be a good idea to create some captions, describing pictures that you wish to showcase on your site. We can do all of this for you, with your input, or you can get a headstart and plan beforehand.    ^top^

EXPENSES. Your first cost will be registering a domain name which costs $19. a year. Longer contracts can get registration for as low as $14. per year. It will cost you a $10. one-time fee, to set your new domain to the server. Another cost, is commercial hosting. While the National average for hosting is $18. monthly, we are set-up to provide hosting for $13. per month. This will be billed quarterly. The final cost, is the biggest, that is for your web design. We charge by the page, but you will learn that overall, our prices are much cheaper than most web designers. This is due to all the free things we provide like pictures, free & unlimited graphics, links, guestbooks, counters, scripts, and so on. Web designers can really get to you, charging you for each link and individual photo. View our prices to get an idea of how many pages you think it will take to showcase your site.    ^top^
