Facts about Webdesign

  • A domain name costs about $10 per year.  It is a good idea to register your domain for at least two years.

  • All websites require a hosting account.  The cost to host a website can greatly vary from just a few dollars a month to over $100 depending on the websites requirements. With StageLeftMarketing.com will give you your first year of hosting FOR FREE! After the first year it is just $18 a month.

  • Website design services can range from a flat fee of $400- $900 (and up) depending on how fancy you want your site to be. Be wary of companies that charge less- there may be some hidden fees or restrictions (like limited photos, videos or pages.) Often, the price seems small at first but added costs can push the prices well over $1000. StageLeftMarketing.com does not believe in hidden fees, we allow our clients as much content as they want, meaning, you do not pay extra for the amount of videos, pictures, audio, or written content on your website, one flat fee gets you what you want, no limitations!

  • Changes/updates that are done by your designer are usually less expensive, depending on whom you select to do the work. Most companies charge by the hour, for changes. But be careful many designers have a 1-hour minimum, even if you simply want to add a resume credit, StageLeftMarketing.com will never charge you for content changes. When StageLeftMareting.com designs a website for preforming artist, we offer unlimited content website content changes for FREE, no retainer or minimum is needed. Here's how it works: You call your StageLeftMarketing.com rep or e-mail them, explain what changes you would like, your rep will submit your request to our design staff, we will send you a copy for approval, once it is approved the changes will go live on your website, easy as that! Very few designers use this method because it means less $$ (money) for them, StageLeftMarketing.com believe you have ever right to update and keep you website fresh, with out breaking the bank.

Also, be sure to determine who actually owns the website design - once it is designed, is it yours to do with as you please (even if you choose to host/update it with someone else?) Or do they hold the copyright and keep the design (and contents) if you opt to go elsewhere? These are important things to go over before you pay any fees.
