Pricing
TML Web Design prices our web site development work on an hourly rate. We do not charge a fee for our templates, only for the personalization of your site. This means that if you are comfortable with a site developed from one of our templates, you can save money on layout costs and we can get right to the graphical design and content input portions of the development process.
Template Sites
We have many template sites to choose from. Depending on the template you choose, more or less customization will be required to make the site unique to your business. At a minimum, each site contains:
- A 'Home' page that is unique from the rest of the pages on the site.
- Channel pages (if necessary to categorize the content on your site for easier searching and identification)
- Content pages that can include graphics, text, and channel specific navigation
- Privacy Policy page (required by most search engines these days)
- Contact Page
- Site Map (used by searchers and Googlebot)
Custom Sites

Highly customized sites allow for the greatest amount of creative freedom.
