The Creative Enterprises Network . . . our community grows businesses

Web Site Samples

We look for simple web building solutions and set the most affordable rates we can when working with  small and home -based business owners, as well as churches and non-profit organizations. While some new entrepreneurs can afford to have the "Mercedes" of web site design with all the bells and whistles, realistically we know that the vast majority of start-up businesses need to watch the pennies! The Creative Enterprises Network was started for the sole purpose of serving the home-based business market. We don't serve big corporations -- we serve individuals, and tailor the web site design process to fit the needs and the budgets of our customers, whether you've been in business for 5 years or 5 minutes.

We have several people at The Creative Enterprises Network who serve new business owners . . . creative entrepreneurs with all kinds of ideas for business concepts. We want you to get a good overview of the different kinds of web sites we create and the shopping carts that we set up for our clients. No merchant account to accept credit cards? No problem -- we'll set you up with a shopping cart for PayPal or CCNow and you'll be ready to accept orders online in no time!

We don't quote specific rates here because everyone's "dream site" is different. But we will say that it is possible to get

A very small basic site including

  • Home page
  • About Us page
  • two Products or other Content Pages
  • and a Links page for as little as $425.00.

That would include connecting the site to a PayPal shopping cart. Hosting could possibly be on a free server so you would have no monthly charges unless you needed to replace or add products, in which case a $25 per month fee would be charged for any months in which you needed changes made. If your needs require you to be on a hosted domain site, then you could figure on $10 a month for hosting perhaps (although with purchasing from or transferring your domain name to directNIC.com, you can get free hosting that is just as reliable as a paid host).

Other pages could be added as your inventory and/or content needs grow. But basically, you could very possibly be ready to take your business to the web for the cost of your domain name ($15 or less per year and $15 for ad-free web hosting) and $500 for the web site set-up -- that's only $530 to take the first step toward owning and operating your own business.

Note:   we completely understand the challenges of the home-based business owner, organizations, and churches, and will be happy to work with you on a 50-50 payment plan -- 50% upfront, and 50% when the site is ready to upload completely

Below you'll find links to a variety of different types of sites that we've created for small business owners like yourself (and some non-profits and social organizations as well). See what appeals to you from these samples and then let us know what you're interested in.

We will be in touch to ask a few questions about what you have in mind, and what your needs are and give you a price quote.

There is NEVER any obligation to buy our services, and we promise we will not call or email if you decide not to use our services. We'll miss you, but we won't bug you! Honest!

Here are a few samples of sites we’ve built (and don't forget -- we built this site you're on right now!)  We do our best to build a site to suit YOUR needs, YOUR taste, and YOUR start-up budget.

Catawba Sail & Power Squadron    The Rock Hill Oratory

York County Professional Business Women’s Association

We help you take those first baby steps toward owning an online business.

 

People ask how we can make money charging as little as we do. Well . . . sure, we need to make a living . . . but everything in life isn't about money. Sometimes it's about the Golden Rule . . . "do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

 

And we remember how hard it was to get started  . . . to find answers, to have to figure out how to speak "computer-eze" and learn about search engine placement and keywords and text links vs banner links, and on and on. In 1997 there weren't too many people around who were serving "the little guy" or sharing information with them . . . it was all about the big Dot.com's.

But don't worry -- here at The Creative Enterprises Network -- we've got you covered!

 

And . . .

 

If we build your web site, we'll also give you

one free year's membership to The Creative Enterprises Network, so you can learn all the tricks of the trade from those who've been working online before you.
