Introduction: I've been a self employed freelance web developer for 6 years straight and not an "in-the-evening, fly-by-night" developer. I will come and meet you and give you a personal assessment of your possible needs and areas of expansion. Sites can start for as low as $399 (including a year's hosting) and go up from there.
Personal sites, business sites, blogs and e-commerce sites with payment processing are all possible. I have had sites with first page Google rankings for terms such as E150 Cargo Van, F350 Work Truck, RCI Points for sale, GMC Heavy Duty Trucks and many more local long-term clients. Those are very broad categories to hit national rankings. I can also do product photography for your site or business. Websites are cheaper than phone book advertising, and many don't look at those anymore. If you have a business, you have to have a decent site. I would love to help.
