It's a fact that there are hundreds of "do-it-yourself" website building websites out there.  The truth is, no matter how "easy" they make it sound, you still need a fair amount of basic computer technical know-how in order to make it work.  The free ones (and cheap ones too) are very limited, use templates that everyone else has access to, and/or put advertisements on your site, and the good ones cost you nearly as much per month as I do!  Why not have the peace of mind knowing that I am watching over your site, and know what to do when things come up (or go down)?

The Alternative offers affordable solutions for those looking for a web presence that doesn't need to rival big corporate sites.  I believe that having a website is very important for getting your name out there.  You don't need to spend thousands to do that.

Typical Website Design & Setup: (4-page) (5-7 page) (8-10 page)

Prices above include:

15 hours time for 4 pages; 24 hours for 5-7 pages; 48 hours for 8-10 pages.

These examples are based upon the average time needed to do these sites in the past.  Because projects vary in requirements and difficulty, work will be billed at only $25/hr. for hours beyond these limits.  Typically this will be the case where extra pictures, Mp3's, and/or videos (more than 6 or 8) are needed.

Larger sites are available.  Many sites fall in between these examples.  Let's sit down and talk about the details and options for YOUR website.  Please also visit the Web Hosting page for more info.
