Below is a list of the products that we offer. The prices are for the description if the design is without complications. Due to the great range in the amount of time that it takes to create graphics, the price only covers sample graphics that flow with the template. If you would like to keep the graphics you may do so. If you have your own or you see some from the template library that you would like, we will add this as part of the package. We do offer basic design at an additional hourly rate.

If you are looking for a web design you probably have a burning question on your mind: "How much is this going to cost me?" The answer is that it depends. Naturally the more complex the site is to code, the more bells and whistles you throw on, the more it will cost.
At Ardent Flame we are firm believers in quoting a flat rate whenever possible, and when not possible an estimate which we will only go over if something does not go normally. This arrangement works to your advantage because you can decide if the design is worth the price and make a buying decision knowing how much it is going to cost you. Also, you can rest assured that the clock is not going to be 'run up' on you as that would only hurt us!
To the right you will see the different major design packages, the price entails pretty much what is said beneath it. If you want something simple like a design in our template library you can expect it to be about what it says. If you want more, a free consultation is required to give a price.
We start each design with a free consultation, face-to-face if possible, and talk about your needs and goals with your site. We will discuss the different technologies we can utilize to create a design that solves your needs and goals. Once we have agreed upon the needs and goals we will lay out a plan that will meet your needs, one that meets your goals, and one that falls somewhere in between. At this point we will quote the three fees prices. If you are interested in going forward a 50% retainer is due upon engagement for a project, the second 50% is due upon completion. Upon completion of our rough draft of the layout we will revisit with you to make any last changes you might have.
Our goal is to design the best site possible for your business, and so we will continue work with you if we have in any way not met our agreement.
Why flat rate? It promotes productiveness and efficiency on our part, and it guarantees a set price for you.
