Are you looking for an affordable website?
One without monthly fees and hosting costs?
I can create a simple but attractive website for you using Payhip. This is a website platform suitable for brochure websites, as well as for selling digital products, physical products, courses, and memberships.
Payhip has an interesting payment structure, in that it’s absolutely free to build a website and host it with them. You only pay them a fee if you make an online sale. So if you just need a brochure website that doesn’t sell anything, there are no charges, other than your annual domain registration fee!
I’ve created one of my own websites in Payhip, and here’s what I’ve found:
- It’s easy to get started, and the website builder is simple to use. (The flipside of that is that there are limited layout options.)
- You can customise your website with your logo, colour scheme, etc.
- It has most of the features you need, including contact forms, a blog, and more.
- It is reasonably good for SEO – great if you want to get decent search engine rankings.
- The website is mobile responsive, so it looks good on all devices.
- Video embedding (via YouTube) works well.
- It’s super easy to build an online shop, and integrates with Stripe and PayPal for payment processing.
How it works
This is a full service website creation, where I create the website for you AND write the content, taking all the hassle away from you!
First page: $695 + GST*
The biggest investment is for the first page, as the scope of the work is broad and includes:
1. Briefing and consultancy meeting via Zoom
Allow at least 1.5 hours for the briefing meeting, as there’s a lot to cover:
- Website design: We’ll work together to identify your preferences with regard to the colour scheme, layout, fonts, photos, etc. It would be handy if you could provide a list of websites that you do and don’t like, together with a note about what it is you like and don’t like.
- Website structure: the pages you want on the site. I’ll be able to provide consultancy on this, so that the website meets your objectives in terms of generating enquiries. There are customer usability factors to consider, as well as search engine ranking factors – but at the same time I’m aware that you have a set budget for the website. (Hint: you don’t have to do all the pages at once, it can work quite well to identify Stage One pages and Stage Two pages.) It’s important that we identify the pages you want for your site at this stage, so that I can get a copywriting brief from you on all the pages.
- Content briefing: I’ll ask you questions about your business so that I can write the website content for you. The questions will reflect the website pages you’d like me to work on.
2. Website design
Creating a simple website design based on your brief, and personalising it with your logo, colour scheme, photos, etc. Includes up to two rounds of revisions, if needed.
3. Writing SEO website copy
Writing compelling, customer-centric website content. This includes me undertaking some basic keyword research to identify a focus keyword for this page – this helps with search engine rankings, so customers can find your site on Google. Includes up to two rounds of revisions, if needed.
Subsequent pages: $195 + GST each*
Any extra pages for your website are charged at a flat rate per page.
The price includes:
- Writing the content, with basic keyword research for each page, and inserting the content into the website template you’ve chosen. To get this price for subsequent pages, we would need to discuss it at the original briefing meeting. So if you haven’t already briefed me on this content, we’d have another Zoom meeting at additional cost. The price is for up to 500 words per page – if you’d like longer web pages, this would be at additional cost.
- Creating the web page, and laying it out in a visually-attractive manner, using Payhip’s standard features.
- Adding photographs to the page. Please provide any photos you’d like to use on the website, otherwise I can provide stock photos.
The types of pages you might wish to add to your website are:
- Products/Services: I’d suggest having a separate page for each product or service, as this will help with your visibility on Google.
- Why choose us?
- About us
- Testimonials
- Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- Contact Us
- Blog section with articles: I can help you with article writing; each article would be considered one page.
*About the pricing
The pricing is for a basic brochure website with a contact form. It does not include the following – they are at an additional cost:
- Email software integration.
- Payment processor (Stripe/PayPal) integration.
- Online store/membership/course setup.
- Additional meetings and briefings are charged at $125 + GST per hour.
You will also need to arrange and pay for your domain name – this is usually an annual fee. You will also need to arrange for your domain registrar to point their servers to your new website – I will provide instructions for you to pass on to them.
Prices are in New Zealand dollars.
Payment terms
A $495 + GST deposit secures your briefing meeting, and contributes towards the time I’ll spend designing and writing your website.
You’ll receive another invoice when the First Page is completed. And if your website consists of numerous additional pages, you may receive progress invoices. Payment terms are strictly 7 days.
The final balance will be invoiced upon completion of the work.
If you would like one-on-one training how to update and edit your website, that can be arranged at additional cost.
