y pricing is simple.

I charge $75 an hour, whether it's making web pages, writing, rewriting, editing or anything else — except photography.

Photography is $150 an hour to set-up and shoot, and that includes an equal amount of time doing digital processing, so the price is $75 an hour. I just have to charge for both hours up front. Your images are delivered on a CD.

Making web pages or updating them later (unless we make special arrangements) is $75/hour. If I'm doing your website, I charge a straight $75/hour to shoot and/or process your images, although I don't mind fudging that price lower for repeat customers.

It is the same $75/hour for computer or software tutoring — Photoshop, Dreamweaver, PageMaker, PageMill or upgrading or teaching you how to use your Macintosh. I've been teaching Mac since 1985 and Photoshop since version 1 in the early 90s.

One size may not fit all, but one price usually does. If you hire me, it's 75 bucks an hour.

A website could be as inexpensive as $500 for a few pages and some pictures, but most websites are more complicated — or they get that way when clients realize what can be done. It all depends on what I have to do and what you do. The usual cost for a medium-sized website with photographs and me writing your text is about $1,500, although a much smaller, simpler site for someone who is incredibly organized can cost as little as $500.

Please also read my ISP page for other important website details.

Updating your site once we get it up is $75/hour. Or we could arrange a per item, monthly or quarterly rate to update your website, depending on what you need. It's easier just to pay $75/hour.

Our initial meeting, when we discuss and decide what you want and what and how I can provide it, is free.

Occasional phone calls days or weeks or months later, when you have a question or an issue, is free. Although you should know I'm difficult to get on the phone. Email is quicker, and I check it more often.

Me correcting my own mistakes is always free.

Email me, if I can help you in any way.
