| Starter Package |
| This package is for businesses and organizations that wish to market and inform, but need only limited visitor interaction and no e-commerce capability. The Starter Package includes: |
 |
|
Up to 4 Web pages One "home" page and up to 3 additional pages.
| | | | Logo preparation We'll scan your existing logo and prepare it for your website, or create a simple, attractive logo if you don't have one.

This is an excellent way to build a mailing list or let customers request more information. (To use this feature, your Web hosting service must offer either Microsoft FrontPage server extensions or CGI-BIN access. If you're not sure, contact them.)
| | | | Microsoft FrontPage compatibility We can build your website to be compatible with Microsoft FrontPage. This is a popular option if you plan to do your own website maintenance.
| | | | Installation When your website is ready to be published, we'll upload it to your Web hosting service, or deliver it to you by e-mail or CD-ROM.
| | | | Search engine readiness We'll design your site's home page so it will be effectively indexed (referenced) by search engines.
| | | | Search engine submission service To get you started right, we'll include our one-time search engine submission service, sending your website's description to over 200 of the most popular search and directory services. | |

|
|
Copy editing & proofreading We strongly recommend this option for clients who don't have professional editing available. R35 per hour

| | | | Web discussion board A discussion board lets visitors post comments, questions, or anything else that fits the topic of your website. Other visitors can reply to messages. It's a great way to add interactivity to your site and generate repeat traffic. Two versions are available: One for sites using Microsoft FrontPage, and one for sites that are not. For sites not using FrontPage, your hosting service must provide CGI-BIN access. (Prices are higher for CGI-based boards because of the additional setup time required.) Both versions include design to match your website. R299 for FrontPage-based; R499 for CGI-based

Your digitized video will be optimized for standard 56k modem connections; other data rates available on request. R25 setup fee for each video, plus R2 per minute of video
| | | | MP3 encoding MP3 is a highly-efficient format for high-fidelity music. The music plays when the visitor clicks a link. We always use the most advanced MP3 encoding technique available, providing best possible sound. R2 per minute of music; minimum R30
| | | | MIDI music MIDI files load quickly, and are the best option for music that automatically plays when a Web page is loaded. We can compose original MIDI music for you; or, if you already have a theme song or jingle, we can arrange it in MIDI format for the same price. R150 for the first 30 seconds of music; R100 for each additional 30 seconds
| | | | Other services We have a two-tier hourly rate for customized services. Our basic-services rate is R35 per hour. The basic rate would include items such as HTML scripting and word processing. Our advanced-services rate is R55 per hour. Advanced services would include Perl programming, Macromedia Flash file production, and other programming-related work. Feel free to contact us for more information. |
|
| You might expect a company that specializes in website development and e-commerce would have a fancy form on their site for ordering website design. We don't. Our experience has been that most of our website design clients prefer to just tell us what they want, and we're happy to oblige. To order, just e-mail us at compunet.za@gmail.com, or contact us by one of the other means on our contact page. |
| The Ordering Process |
| Here's what will happen once we hear from you: |
|
1. |
We'll gladly answer any questions you have about your website.
| | 2. | We'll discuss with you the various design strategies and technologies available to you. If it's appropriate, we'll suggest some methods we think will help your site be most effective.
| | 3. | We'll discuss the materials (printed or electronic information, photos, etc.) we'll need to build your site.
| | 4. | We'll help you determine other details, like your domain name and website hosting requirements.
| | 5. | We'll give you estimates on your price and completion date.
|
|
| If you decide to order our services, we'll fax you a website-design contract and an invoice for a 50% non-refundable deposit. If you need domain-name search services or registration, we will begin that process immediately in order to secure your domain name as quickly as possible. As soon as we receive your deposit and materials, we'll build a prototype of your site and upload it to a password-protected area of our website for your review. When you approve it, we'll upload it to your Web server or hosting service, and send you an invoice for the balance of our fees. |
