By any standard, the best communication tool of the modern age is the website. Unlike promotional products and traditional media advertising, a website has an unlimited-size imprint area. There are few constraints. It handles volumes of pages, full-color images and audio and video. Once created, it can be changed easily and frequently. It tells more about you than all the other forms of advertising combined. It is your story, unfiltered.
Think of your website as a brochure or a booklet. Use it to tell everyone all there is to know about your organization and its products and services. Try to print your website address on all materials that a customer or potential customer might see.
Every business or organization should have its own website!
Because I have your logo, and am already familiar with your sales and marketing efforts, building a website is a logical extension of Squeegee Graphics, but it started from a desire to build my own site. It took a lot of years to get to this point where I would feel comfortable offering this as a service.
Websites exist at various levels of complexity. We fill a niche between the simple menu driven websites that are available everywhere for cheap money, and the highly complex ones that require a team to build and maintain them. They are offered to small businesses only, and only under the right circumstances.

Having a website made by Squeegee Graphics is a lot like commissioning a painting or a symphony. It is a creative work with a practical purpose. The goal is to capture the essence of your business and to be inviting for a new prospect. It has a very specific objective, which is to make sure people know what you do and how you do it. The website should be a logical reflection of your business personality. Yes, businesses have personalities, just like people.
Websites take a tremendous amount of time to craft. They require a lot of discussion. I will ask many questions about how your business operates, who your best clients are, what is the most fun thing that you sell, the most profitable items and the most problematical challenges. The hope is to make the website both an honest and complete reflection of your business, as well as to make a practical addition to your communication needs.
I prefer to offer this service only to previous clients. Your logo is central to the website and marketing efforts. The website design should build on our existing relationship. Our connection is part of the process: owner to owner. Having an existing working relationship makes it much easier.
I will build the website using what you have told me about your business. Even though I will filter and arrange the content, when it is completed, it will be a good reflection of you. Like a commissioned art piece, however, there has to be a certain amount of leeway. Tell me what you want, tell me what you need, give me all the data you have (pictures, video, brochures, price-lists, news stories) and I will arrange it so it flows comfortably. You will not see much of anything until it is complete, and all that should remain is minor editing.
The minimum charge for a website is $1200.00
Other costs are:
• Domain Registration - $25 for two years
• Hosting and minor maintenance - $100 yearly
• Miscellaneous costs for technology plug-ins, photography, etc.
What the site includes:
• Unlimited e-mail accounts and e-mail forwarding
• 10 GB storage You will never use that much.
• 100 GB monthly bandwidth You will never use that much.
