Web Development

Nilzon Designs takes pride in offering affordable website design with professional results.

Your business can't afford not to establish a professional web presence on the Internet. At the rates that Nilzon Designs offers, you can build your client base by reaching thousands of potential customers who otherwise wouldn't know you exist. If you care about the success of your business, you want the best value, and our services deliver both quality and value

Ok, how much is "affordable", you ask. Because your business is unique, your website will be unique. Therefore, it's impossible to tell you on this page how much your website project will cost. Lots of factors go into determining the pricing for your project, such as the how much content you need to get your message across and which bells and whistles you need to effectively do business. Things like custom logo/graphic design, contact forms, shopping carts, content management systems, newsletter sign-up forms, Flash animation, photo galleries, etc. all factor into the pricing of your website. Once we have that information, we will provide you with a detailed estimate for your project. Sometimes though, we realize that we might not be a good fit for your project. If that’s the case, we will refer you to another developer if we can.

The good news is that we offer a free consultation and estimate, so please call us to discuss the particulars of your website project.

All that said, we offer a range of services and prices. We work a lot with the WordPress software and can offer our clients a variety of options using WordPress, as well as custom sites built from scratch. Below are some ballpark figures, just to give you an idea of what working with us might involve financially.

At the basic level we charge for consulting or training on an hourly basis, at $75 an hour. For instance, we can help you set up a simple WordPress Blog and show you how to use it. Usually, depending on your skill level with software, this takes a few hours and is in the $400 – $600 range.
Here is an example of a simple WordPress set up
