About Classic Web Design
CLASSIC WEB DESIGN offers complete website design and maintenance services. Our offices in Virginia and Minnesota have over 15 years experience in the production and hosting of websites for small businesses and organizations. Because the Internet has so many different users, computers, and browsers, we try to make your message easy to get-- with straight-forward organization, simple obvious navigation, and photographs and images that load quickly. To make your website accessible by the largest audience possible, we design for a very wide range of browsers and platforms.
Classic Web Design is based in central Virginia but works for businesses and organizations anywhere on the web. We concentrate on your message, your budget, and your website. We have been producing websites since 1995 and scores of our websites are online.

How much do websites cost?
First the website has
to have a home and a name.
The home will be a professional hosting company that stores your website and makes it available to the Internet. Classic Web Design runs semidedicated web servers with high speed access; we charge about $25 a month for a basic commercial site and $40 for a database site. There is also a one-time $50 charge to set up the site so it is accessible to the World Wide Web. You must have your own domain name (e.g., ClassicWebDesign.com) for a professional website. Registration costs from $9-$35 a year; CWD can help you with it. Ongoing maintenance - changes to the website - are billed quarterly at $50 per hour.

Second, the website itself
must be created.
We can produce a basic web presence (one-page site) for you for as little as $300, but a more complex site-- a catalog of your merchandise, perhaps-- takes considerably longer. We charge by the hour, so ask us for an estimate when you know what your content will be. We produce all incidental graphics. If you have a corporate logo we can use it as a base design to ensure consistency in navigation buttons and backgrounds. Maintenance is important. A website is a living thing and it needs a bit of attention now and then. We would be happy to quote on any job. Just call or email us.

Thinking about eCommerce?
As the Internet becomes more
accepted as a [relatively] safe, highly efficient avenue for
buying and selling, we implement more shopping carts and eCommerce
programs every year. If you're thinking your sales volume will
justify a serious solution, talk to us!
We are proud to list
some of our
web clients
From the earliest text-only
websites of 1995 [which, given the state of data communications,
were about all that would work with slow dialup modems... remember
the 4800-baud breakthrough?] to today's content-rich dynamic,
highly visual, interactive sites that can be supported by broadband
networks, we have produced well over one hundred websites. They
range from one-page magazine ad formats to complete catalogs
of items that can be purchased online. Here's
a sampling.
