Exceptional web design is in the features

Adding custom layout, custom navigation, and custom graphical features to your web site is what custom web design is all about. While all web sites are obviously custom in that their content is usually different, custom web design refers to the overall look and feel of the site. (The costs quoted are estimated based on a site of up to 10 pages where the layout and navigation will be generally the same on all pages and the graphical work involved is average for a custom site.)


Site Layouts		A layout is basically how the web site looks, where the navigation is located, where the text or main body of the page is located, and how the information on the page is presented. This has an effect on the visitors impression of your site.

	- Basic Layout	A basic web page usually follows one of two layouts; A top layout where the menu navigation is located on the top of the page, usually below the title of the web site, and the content of the page is directly below or a left layout, which has the menu navigation located on the left side of the page, usually the content of the page to the right under the title of the web site. A basic web site also presents it's content in a normal and expectable way like paragraphs that continue down the page, in some cases there may be two columns of text, in other cases you might have an image in the upper left with text flowing around it.

	- Advanced Layouts	In an advanced layout there are many additional options for the overall layout and function of the page, when used in conjunction with advanced navigation you can even create custom "user interfaces." With advanced layouts you can make your content easier to read for your visitors, for example a smaller box of text in the content section of your layout might be easier for your visitors to scroll. You can also alter the way in which your content is presented to your visitors with graphics and other methods.	$25.00 - $150.00

Site Navigation		Navigation is how your user will get from page to page on your site, it involves the links that the user clicks on as well as how the links appear and how they are organized on the page.

	Basic Navigation	Basic navigation generally consists of either simple text links or simple button graphics arranged in a row or column, it is probably the most common navigation you will see on the web because it has the benefit of being easy to change, easy to read, and is visible even to text browsers.

	Advanced Navigation	Advanced navigation almost always involves graphics and an advanced layout, it will also generally involve irregular placement on the page to create a certain appearance, for example, you are creating a site related to houses, you might create a navigation system that shows a picture of a house, the links may be the doors and windows of the house. Or you might want to create a shape with your link arrangement, like an arc that surrounds the content section of your page.	$25.00 - $50.00

This web page is a minor hybrid of an advanced top layout with basic navigation. It would be considered an advanced layout because it has features that automatically size the background image to fit the content and place certain items like the footer text below the content box. As a point of reference the additional cost for an advanced layout like this would be around $25.00 for up to 10 pages. (The basic navigation seen here is actually included in the site package fees.)
