Today, I am trying something a bit different. I’ve put up a premade site under my portfolio; depending upon how much popularity this theme and the others I plan on posting receives, I will be considering creating a page dedicated to premade web templates.

Normally I charge $20/hour for a project; for a full project, this amounts to around $400+, though I’d say my average is around $500 depending on the amount of programming and changes requested. I allow clients to have an unlimited amount of requested changes, but at the same time, I do not work for free.

This theme in question is very flexible; its navigation can be requested to be placed anywhere (though I would suggest horizontally), and it can have contact information placed opposite of the logo. The image can be edited or left as-is, and because it is content rich, not only will it have a greater amount of SEO, it will also show flexibility for what one might wish to put in there; RSS feeds, social networking links, or even just more content about your company in general.

And because it does have text, it is very light-weight, giving very fast load times. It can be bought either as-is with a bonus logo design (if you do not have your own), or you can have it converted to a WordPress theme for an extra $150 (why this price? Because I will be programming it myself, and that isn’t something that happens immediately.)

This theme would be great for businesses wishing to create a more “spring” or summer feeling for themselves, or for community organizations, such as parks or natural preservation groups. Additionally graphics and other stylish touches can be added at request for twenty dollars per edit, depending upon the edit (my apologies, but some things are going to have to cost more, such as programming a brand new plugin to make it fetch certain RSS feeds). Please also note that certain edits, such as adding an RSS feed reader or other dynamic features such as a blog, will require an up-front upgrade to WordPress or a similar blogging platform. Please feel free to contact me for further details or with any questions, or respond to this entry; I respond to most inquiries within 24 hours.
