September 15, 2007 by Razworks Web Designer Sarasota No Comments »

Razworks produces a broad range of web sites and Internet media. Projects typically range in price from $500 to $10,000, depending upon the scale of the project and the technologies used.

Razworks websites can be developed in the following web programming frameworks:

  • From $499 - A WordPress template content management website.
    • WordPress is the most popular personal web publishing software on the planet. WordPress is as simple to use as writing an email, and can be scaled using plugin software to accomodate almost any website need.
  • From $1999 – A Custom HTML website is your standard static website.
    • Built from scratch, using HTML and CSS scripting, this website generally loads faster than a database driven website while supporting limited application functionality.
  • From $2999 – A PHP / MySQL website is a dynamic database driven website.
    • WordPress, Magento, Drupal and Joomla are applications built using PHP / MySQL, but if you don’t need website content management software, then the added code bloat of these web applications can be overkill. A lean PHP / MySQL website built from scratch can keep your website streamlined while allowing for the inclusion of custom web applications.
  • From $3499 – An Enterprise Quality Ecommerce shopping cart website
    • Magento Commerce is the latest advancement in ecommerce shopping cart software, and Razworks Web Design specializes in ecommerce websites using Magento Commerce. Google has partnered with Magento to allow direct connection between a Magento powered ecommerce website and Google’s powerful search marketing tools and applications.

Website Content Management

The number one question I recieve from web design clients is:

“How do I update my website? Do I have to pay $125 per hour everytime I need to change some text or add a photo?

The The Razworks content management websites comes with a WordPress content editor that allows you to author, edit and publish content to your website from any Internet connected computer.

The WordPress content managment software empowers clients to edit and create web pages themsevles, from any web browser. You can edit existing web pages, add new web pages, and even manage your eCommerce shopping cart products, pricing, inventories, ect.

You won’t need to contact Razworks to make basic changes or additions to web page content. You can do it yourself and save a lot of money.

The Blog and content management software also empowers clients to optimize their web site for the search engines. Blogs have re-written the rules for search engine optimization. Merely writing about your products and/or services in daily blogs can sometimes significantly increase your website search engine ranking. Small business owners can write their own search engine optimized copy as time and budget allows, and gradually increase website search engine rankings without paying thousands of dollars to SEO experts.

Custom Web Design Graphics

Razworks founder, Michael Rassel, is a senior Photoshop artist with over a decade of professional experience spanning Minneapolis, New York City, and Sarasota, FL. Razworks web design graphics are noticably above average in quality.

“Nine out of ten web design clients approve the very first web design concept that I submit to them”, observes Michael Rassel, founder of Razworks.

Razworks will produce custom graphics tailored to your company’s image. We typically research each company and it’s industry genre to create a very appealling web design.

Up to three design concepts are included in each website project price, as no more than three concepts are usually neccessary. Razworks is committed to providing customer satisfaction and we are very flexible in our attempts to satisfy a client’s requests. Typically there is a charge for more than three web design concepts based upon our competitive hourly rate.

How Can It Be So Inexpensive?

Razworks contracts web design locally to Sarasota, FL and Minneapolis, MN. Web site design and development companies operating in these wonderful cities typically charge similar rates. Your average, business quality website with custom web design graphics, five web pages, a contact email form, and other basic website functionality typically costs a small business around $2000. Sarasota sees some discount web development with prices as low as $1500, whereas Minneapolis web design fees tend to be closer to $2500.

Many small businesses can’t afford their area’s average web development prices. To stay within budget, small business owners will either go without a website or settle for a cheap website that is often ineffective.

But now Razworks can put an enterprise quality website within the budget of most businesses. The Razworks Do-It-Yourself website is only $499. It is built upon a PHP / MySQL coded WordPress content magnagement software platform with a focus on Web 2.0 compliance and search engine compatibility.

Research courtesy of ProBlogger.net, represents the usage statistics of blogging software on the Internet. WordPress is by far the most popular Blog Software used on the Internet. There is good reason for that. It is Web 2.0 compatible. An experienced web developer can customize it to display virtually any web site layout or design graphics. It has a sophisticated web page editor that is as easy to operate as writing an email.

Razworks chose WordPress for web design and blog development because of it’s WC3 XHTML standards compliance. Search engines like Google and Yahoo are the driving force behind modern website marketing. Everyone who has a website wants to be on the first page of a search engine, but it is not always an easy task.

Web blogs have become a common source for ranking web sites on search results web pages. But before a search engine can read your website and web blog, it validates the web page code to determine if the web page is XHTML and Web 2.0 compliant as defined by the W3C World Wide Web Consortium. A valid web page gets a green light for search engines. Minor errors raise a yellow flag for search engines, which could penalize your search engine ranking. Some may still scan your website while others will not. Critical errors or too many errors may prevent a search engine from scanning your website at all. That would result in poor or no search engine ranking.

WordPress has very good Web 2.0 compatibility built in. “I developed a website for a local hurricane products company in Sarasota, FL” recalls Michael “Raz” Rassel, founder of Razworks. I configured the website and blog with WordPress with the popular WP-Shopping Cart plugin software. I published search engine optimized copywriting in the web pages, blogs and shopping cart product desriptions and left it at that. Within two months of publishing  the website it ranked #4 on Google for the search phrase “Sarasota Hurricane Products”, exclaims Raz. “WordPress provides an effective means for clients to publish their own search engine optimized content, thereby significantly reducing web site development costs”.
