Special Offer

You have a profitable business selling goods or services to the general public. And like most successful businesses, you probably advertise in some form of print medium - the local newspaper, weekly, magazine or even radio or television. Whatever the medium, it brings you business - and it's expensive.

But if you do not have an associated web site, you are missing an extraordinary opportunity to promote your business. A well-designed, custom web site does not have to be expensive.

For a limited time, Newman Design is offering a complete web site for your business, customized to your specifications, for as little as $499.

Why It Makes Sense

With print advertising, you pay for square inches of space - the larger the ad, the greater the cost. If you want color, it costs more. If you want it to appear more than one time, it costs more.

You constantly weigh the trade-off of a smaller, less-costly ad with the room to get across your message.

An associated advertising web site can help solve this.

On the web, you always get as much room as you want, you always get full color, and it's always on. Your print and web advertising can complement each other. For example, your small print ad might include the line "Visit our web site for additional products/services." And the web site could refer viewers to limited-time offers in your newspaper ad.

Here's How It Works

The Details

Contact Newman Design by email or phone - 707-824-1479 - to get started. We'll walk you through the steps and the pricing.

Here's what we'll do:

Step 1: Select a domain name

The domain name - the web address - you want for your web site might not be available. For example, "cafemomo.com" or "secretgarden.com" are both already in use. However, "cafemomosonoma.com" and "secretgardenpetaluma" are both available. We'll guide you through finding a domain name that works for you.

Step 2: Register the domain name

Once you register your domain name, no one else may use it. The cost: $25 per year.

Step 3: Find a host

Your web site's files are uploaded to a computer that is always connected to the Internet. This is called the Host. There are numerous options for hosting a web site; if you already have Internet access, your service provider probably provides hosting. We recommend Sonic.net for most of our customers - they are fast, reliable, and responsive to technical problems.

Sonic's Value Hosting offers 10 megabytes of storage space for your files and 4 mailboxes (so you can receive email at "yourname@yourbusiness.com" . The cost: $9.95 per month.

Step 4: Design the site

Under your diretion, we will gather artwork and photos and select a layout and color scheme to suit your taste and business. We'll help you organize the material for each page, and then design and construct a Home page, a Contact page (including map) and two additional pages of your content. The cost: $499.

Going Beyond

We like to design sites with few frills, so that they load fast, don't distract, and get to the business of promoting you business. Please take a look at some of the other sites we designed to see what we mean.

If you want your web site to do more, though, we can accommodate you. For a nominal fee we can provide:

  • Additional pages and an expanded navigation bar
  • Photography services
  • Custom maps and illustration
  • eCommerce so you can accept credit cards securely
  • Multimedia - animation, sound, video
  • Site updating service
