Our Basic Designs include a masthead design and navigational scheme created specifically for your web site that will be used on every page throughout your site. Prices given assume that images or custom artwork to be used on the site will be provided by, or purchased by the customer. All artwork and photos to be used on the site must comply with copyright laws.

If you want special features built into the design of your website, we will provide you with a quote for a Custom Design. The following are some examples of Custom Design elements: additional mastheads other than that used on the homepage, custom graphic navigational buttons, video streaming, animation, creation of logos or other artwork/illustrations.
