"Starter E-Commerce" Website

To build your “Starter E-Commerce” website for you:

I add one key feature to the Starter Plus package: a starter store area for your website, with a fully-functioning shopping cart and check-out system, that will allow you to display and sell your products online.

Starting with the same list as for the Starter Basic and Starter Plus packages, I will:

• Offer you a shortlist of beautiful templates to help you pick your desired design.
• Customize your selected design to include your logo and your company colour(s) and font(s).
• Help you decide on the best menu structure for your site.
• Create an attractive and effective home page with all your key messages & calls to action.
• Use the content that you supply to create all your other web pages (up to 20), including Product pages, About page, and Contact page.
• Add any photos and/or videos that you supply.
• Create a simple Contact Form for receiving inquiries from your website.
• Create your site’s favicon (the small icon that identifies your website on the tab at the top of your browser, next to your page's title).
• Do basic search engine optimization (SEO) of all pages, based on your (supplied) top keyword phrases.
• Upload, test, and launch your new website on your hosting server.

Then, I add the following Plus features:

• Your choice of up to five specialty features for your website (in addition to the shopping cart feature), such as:
  • a photo gallery
  • a slideshow or carousel
  • a blog area
  • a portfolio area
  • a staff profiles page
  • a company news page
  • a sign-up page or window for your newsletter
  • embedded feeds of your social media posts
  • buttons for sharing your pages or announcements on social media
  • a members-only area with password-protected content
  • an events calendar
  • an embedded Google Calendar
  • and many other specialty functions (let us know if you have a specific one in mind).
• The possibility to update the site yourself without web design skill or knowledge of HTML.
• A basic WordPress training/orientation instructional video, customized for your site.

And finally, to add the E-Commerce features, I will:

• Create a store area for selling your products on your website.
• Set up your shipping and tax information.
• Add product listings for up to 10 of your products.
• Create a "how-to" video for you that shows you how to add additional products to your store.

Optional but also included:

• If desired, I can add social media icons to the top or bottom of your site, with links to your social media page(s).
• If desired, I can embed a Google Map of your location to your Contact page.
• If desired, I can add your (supplied) Google Analytics code to all pages.

Not included (but available as add-on services):

• Selecting and registering your domain name (and related email address): $40*
• Selecting, purchasing, and setting up your website’s hosting account: $40*
• Setting up your Google Analytics account: $40
• Setting up your social media account(s): $40 each

(*These add-on service prices don't include the cost of hosting or of domain name registration.)

Turn-around time:

I’ll complete your e-commerce website within four weeks (20 business days) after you supply me with all of the content (written material and photos) that you would like on your website.
