SharpK Design, Dogs by Kate

Website Design from only $300

Are you a Hobbyist or non-commercial entity? Then you can get a professionally designed website here for only $300AUD! That’s four pages custom designed to show off your dogs, cats, horses, miniatures trains you name it! Basically if you want a website we can build it for you.

Do you want to know the best part? All of our sites include a CMS (content management system) which allows you to update the site yourself once its completed or you can have us update it for you.

What you Get.

Your own .com!

Many designers only offer what’s called a subdomain (such as starblaze.sharpk.com.au) included in their website packages, charging up to $70 a year for a .com domain name! Here at SharpK we feel that our clients deserve better so we've decided to throw the domain name in for free!

Reliable hosting

All of our websites are hosted with one of the top ranked hosting companies in the world. Our servers there run on green energy - powered by windmills!

Custom graphic design - not over used templates!

Each of our sites is unique. We don't use the standard free web templates, if you commission a site from us we will meet you in person or talk to you over the phone so we create the site YOU want - not some boring template everyone has seen before.

Clear, easy to use navigation

Navigation is one of the most important parts of web design, research has shown that if a site isn't easy to get around people won't keep looking!

Stunning front page.

First impressions count, if the front page of your site isn't up to scratch then people may not even bother to look at the other pages. That’s why special consideration is giving to the design of page 1! We make sure visitors to your site know what you're about straight away.

Free Contact Page
Because a proper contact page is more professional looking then an e-mail link we include them in all our sites at no extra cost.

Edit the site yourself!

Editing a site made by us is as simple as using a word processor! Add pages, photos, text and more! You can even change the keywords for each page in a matter of minutes!

Your website on google!

We'll submit your site to google and a number of other search engines for you!

Free Photographic Sesson

Available to anyone in Melbourne or able to get to KCC part or Bulla shows (Victoria).

Free 1 hour tutorial on how to work your new website. *

In home or over the phone we won't just build your website for you we'll actually teach you how to use it!

 

That's awesome! How do I get a site?!

Contact Kate

Drop Kate an e-mail, call her on (+61) 0425 839 178 or use the contact form.

Let me know what sort of site you're after, if its for animals be sure to mention what you breed! This allows me to form an understanding of site requirements from the first moment I'm contacted.

If you're after something a little simpler I'm currently offering a 1 page 'starter site' for $50 complete. Click here for more information!

Great, now what?

Now the fun begins! After you've paid the deposit of $150 site creation begins.

Step 1 - Design

I work with you to create the look and feel of your site. Together we decide on the colour, layout and images used.

Step 2 - Content

While I'm perfecting the design you put together the content - that is the photos, information, (pedigrees etc) and anything else you want to actually be on the website.

You can send me as much text as you want on the site through e-mail and up to 10 images per page (That’s a massive 40 images total!)

Step 3 - Implementation

This is where step 1 and 2 come together to form a complete website.

Working from the 'Content' you send me I will create four amazing pages for you, they can be anything you want! A good starting point is often "Home | News | Females | Males" and as always I still include a working contact page with form for free.

Once I've added the content I add what’s called 'Meta tags' you can't see these on the site but will be able to edit them and add your own later on. They are what tells search engines such as google what’s on each page of your site.

Step 4 - Completion

Up until this point your site will be on what’s called a subdomain (eg: prefix.sharpk.com.au). Once you're happy with your site and have paid the remainder I will purchase a suitable .com for you and transfer the site across.

This is also the step where I add the website to google and other search engines. If you have a google account I can assist in adding your site to google Analytics and adwords at no extra charge.

Step 5 - Celebrate your finished website!

Traditionally businesses would celebrate their new website by holding a huge party and showing off their new website to clients, employees and special guests. You might not want to go this far but be sure to e-mail the site to a few friends.

Additional Pages/updates

(If you don't want to do them yourself)

Unlike some designers I only charge for my time. I won't charge you $80 for a new page which only takes 15 minutes to make. Each page takes its own amount of time to make which can vary from 15minutes to a full hour depending on its complexity.

That’s why I offer

Pre-Paid Update Package: $100 for 3 hours. This time can be used for new pages, updates to existing pages, editing photos/creating photo collages, tidying pages which have become a bit messy etc

Hourly rate: $75/h billed in 15minute increments - for if you only need a small change.
