Small Business Website Design
We have formulated small business web design packages with the local business owner in mind. We’ve been doing this for a long time and know that there are vast differences in the needs of small, mid-sized and large businesses with regard to both web design and advertising. As a small local business owner, you need a internet presence with clean professional pages, but I’ll bet you don’t need 100 pages and I’ll also wager you don’t have the marketing budgets of the big guys.
We at Local Market Hero find that most of our clients really only need 5 – 10 pages and don’t generally need a lot of the add-ons that the big guys like to get. As a small business owner, you probably don’t need a lot of custom coders working in dark rooms to write pages and pages of gobbledegook that you get charged thousands of dollars for.
We take existing site templates and modify them for you. We do customize the written content, photos and graphics for you. We format them also with marketing in mind. Who is your prospective customer? Why do they want or need your service? What answers do they need to choose you?
This is how we can generally complete a site for you in 10 – 12 days for, in most cases, under $565. Beyond 7 pages, we charge $90 per developed page. Even at this price we don’t shrimp on features. We are just as proud of the work we do on a small site as the effort we put into a mega-site.
Our sites are built quickly by experienced web professional. From the time we reach an agreement until you say, “I’m happy”, is usually only 7 – 10 days. If we expect it to take longer, we will tell you right up-front.
Additional Website Features
Shopping Carts: In addition to the basic site price, a shopping cart, fully installed and programmed is only $685 for up to 20 pages. Beyond that; call for quote.
Domain names: $14.95 each. Your domain name is important as your brand. Many business owners don’t realize this but your domain name has to be chosen in a way that your customers know who you are and the search engines understand what you are. This can be tricky. We take care of that for you. Domains are rented from the domain gods, who knows where but this fee must be paid annually.
Web Hosting: Only $39.95 per year. Owning a web site is one thing but much like owning a mobile home, you have to rent a spot to park it for the year. We proudly use Linux servers with an almost un-measureable downtime. We know that your business is your lifeline and we make certain that it is available when your customer is shopping. This is an annual fee.
Landing Page Development: Landing pages are extremely important for target marketing purposes. This is a page that helps you collect information on your visitor so that you may contact them in the future. It is also said that the conversion is made on the landing page. Landing pages are independent of your primary site, but an integral part of your site nonetheless. Landing pages whet the appetite of the visitor for your site and makes them want to know more about you in the future. Use this site to develop your mailing list. These pages are graphics intensive and demand a lot of time to customize. We provide top notch landing pages for only $255. I see this often elsewhere for over $600.
Annual Site Maintenance and Additions: Most of our clients like to be able to make unlimited additions and changes throughout the year, especially if they have seasonal offers. This is what web development is all about. Your site grows as your company grows. We offer this latitude for only $395 per year.

Copywriting: There is no extra charge for the initial copy on your website, but maybe you need more. If you need a monthly or bi-monthly blog, a newsletter or even a series of emails, our services are very reasonable. Series emails are only $7 each and full blown articles or blogs are only $25 each up to 500 words. There is a discount as well for pre-paid, bulk orders.
Email Marketing: We provide both bulk mailing services and auto-responder services. Let’s say that a visitor hits your landing page and requests to receive your monthly newsletter. They immediately get a welcome message and then on a monthly basis, they receive your newsletter and any other offers you wish to send them on a regular basis, giving you constant contact and keeping you fresh in their minds when they are ready for your product or service. Price is very affordable, as little as $49.95 a month, but varies by how many emails are on your list. If you do not have a mailing list, you are walking away from up to 20% of your potential profits.
