Content Management Solutions

LMP can give you the tools and permissions as an administrator to handle the functions of your website yourself or we can manage the content for you. It will depend on your budget, your timeframe and your level of web development skills. It also will depend upon the complexity of the site and the tools used to build it. Website development for custom packages typically start at $40 per hour. We also have package rates for basic and advanced sites. A basic site runs between $300 and $500 dollars and is generally 1 to 3 pages. Advanced sites with 5-1 0 pages run approximately $600 to $2,000. Sites with greater complexity or specialized code, programming or scripting are billed hourly.

Hosting

Website hosting is neccesary for getting your site online using a computer server. We work with large server networks. Hosting is relatively inexpensive. $20 plus $1 0 per month (approximately) in hosting fees and a domain name is all that is required. This can be paid annually.
