Maintenance, Updates & Support An important advantage
of advertising on the Internet is the ease and speed in making
changes. If we maintain your site for you, all it takes is a
simple e-mail exchange and the web site can be updated within
a matter of hours. These periodic alterations might reflect modifications
in your operation, new products, seasonal offerings or just an
occasional addition or removal of graphic images to give your
web site a fresh look. Site visitors and search engines like
it when your web site is updated often with new information.
Our site maintenance fees start at $30 per month and depend on
the size of your web site.
 How
We Work

of paper, 12 pt size font, single-spaced, with 1-1/2 inch margins
at top, bottom and sides.
Web Site Content Authoring
Your Web Designer does not write or rewrite content. Your content
must be supplied to us written the way that you would like
it to appear on your web site.
Web Site Content
Our fees are based on you providing your content to us in electronic
format. Written materials may be provided to us in the body
of an email, Microsoft Word, WordPad or Notepad format only.
If you provide your content in the form of existing manuscripts,
brochures, literature, etc. and you wish to have us process the

we will not rewrite and/or edit your existing materials/information.
Your editing, etc. must be done prior to your submission of your
materials. Additional fees shall apply if we must convert printed
materials into electronic format.
Deposit
A deposit of 1/3 of the quoted price (payable in US funds) is
required to begin all website design projects.
 E-Commerce
For
smaller businesses with a few products, Gomes Web Design recommends
opening a sellers account with PayPal or 2Checkout. More information
about each ecommerce provider is provided below:
PayPal is a service which allows people to send and receive
money safely and securely. It allows you and your customers to
exchange money through a neutral source. You simply open a PayPal
account (for free), and place "buy me" buttons on your
web site.
After a successful sale, you will receive an email to notify
you that you have received an order and the funds have been deposited
into your PayPal account. Next you can fulfill the customers
order. Once the order has been shipped, you can mark the order
as shipped an an email will be deliver to your customer to let
them know that their product is on the way. Once you are ready
to remove funds from your PayPal account you can deposit money
into your bank account. It only takes a couple of days. You can
also request that a check be mailed to you. PayPal makes it very
easy to do business online.

With 2Checkout you make one payment of $49 and can accept credit
card payments from your website or send payment requests via
email. For each sale that you make you pay 5.5% plus .45 per
transaction. If you don't make any sales, you don't have to pay
anything. Similar merchant services can cost much more than this,
so 2Checkout is your best bet. You receive your money twice a
month via direct deposit into your checking account. Visit their
website for more details.
