Site and Domain Host
- I can guide you through setting up an account with 1and1.com. (or any other Registrar)
- Help transferring the domain (if that’s a need)
  - Or help point the domain to the correct servers for the site to go live once its ready
Design
- Installation of Joomla & template
- Optimization of SEO friendly URLs
- Removal of unwanted modules
- Installation and activation of other extensions if wanted
  - Including several of my favorites (optional, all free)
    - JCE Editor (better WYSIWYG toolset)
    - Google Analytics (keep an eye on your traffic)
    - Akeeba Backup (easily make backups of your site, just in case)
    - ITP Float Share (easy Facebook, Twitter, etc... share buttons on every page you want)
    - Fox Contact Form (better contact form than built in Joomla form)
    - Facebook Slide Box (show facebook like box on all pages in a side slide tab, featured on my site)
    - Rok Search (very advance search bar)
    - Rok Twittie (show your tweets on your site)
    - Rok Comments (enable comments on your site, used Disqus commenting system, SEO friendly text)
- Build of all pages, content and menu items
- Integration with Facebook if desired
- Insertion of all imagery, especially but not limited to the home page
- Tweaking of colors, CSS, HTML and any styles that need to be adjusted
- Training for any who will need to edit or update the site
  - Including:
    - Editing existing pages
    - Adding new pages and menu items
    - Uploading and inserting images
    - Linking text and images to other pages
    - Adding new extensions (if this is needed)
- Tweaking and adjusting after site live
  - This will be available for a month after site live, because we all know that for something big like a website we'll probably forget something we wanted and then the site goes live and you'll be all like "Oh shoot, Nate, I forgot, we need a picture of a frog on the home page!" No worries, I got ya covered.
- All this is what I charge for, and although I normally start at quoting $800, of course this can be discussed and I work with business' budgets.
Other
- Submit Domain to Google Site Map for indexing once domain is live
- nstallation of Google Analytics for tracking site performance
- Install free Google Analytics extension in editor for site for easy access of traffic data
- Install free backup extension to easily restore site in case of catastrophe
What I use:
- Joomla
  - I build websites using the content management system called Joomla, the most widely used CMS on the planet (literally).
  - Because it’s so popular, there are hundreds of extensions that can be installed to add to the functionality to your website, most of them are free, some require a purchase.
  - Using Joomla adds greatly to the potential of your website AND flexibility and options to what you can do with the site.
  - Don’t want ecommerce now but might want it later? That’s why Joomla is so great, because you can get a site now and save on cost upfront by NOT having ecommerce, but add it in later using an extension.
  - Plus, it’s free!
- Rocket Theme
  - Rocket Theme templates for Joomla are the best out there, a few of them are free, but most of them are $50, but it’s worth it. Their structure is the best designed and the easiest to manipulate and adjust for each project.
What you get
- A really well designed website for a one time, low cost fee.
- Training for:
  - adding unlimited pages
  - uploading images and inserting to pages
  - Facebook page integration
  - Keeping site, home page etc... optimized for search engines
- * And, hopefully we’ll have some fun along the way.
