Site Add Ons

N.E.W.D.  can code /  install about any functionality you could possibly need for your on line presence.  If you can describe your needs, we can make it happen.  

To give you some idea of what is possible, we have listed but just a few functions we can set you up with, but there are literally endless options available to our clients.  

Image Gallery :: Present your photos or graphics using a photo gallery format complete with an administration panel which allows you to configure your albums and upload your images right from your browser.  Please be aware that you might need to purchase additional space if you are planning to post a great many photos or images.

Forum :: A forum is a standard communication method to trade messages between a group of participants.  Usually set up for a common purpose or topic, forums may be public or private and be configured to require membership or not.  Please know that there are THOUSANDS of free and public forums on line and just because you set one up does not mean that your users will flock to and then use it.  Only purchase a forum if you intent to publicize it well and expect users to USE it.  An empty forum looks BAD ;-0

Educational ::  Any number of on line scripts can be installed to promote the process of education for your academic needs.  Systems are available for full scale lesson plan delivery and on line quizzing, both free (Open Source) and commercially.

File Repository :: Your site can warehouse and make available a collection of files, anything from software to documents, to either a public or private group.   This can be useful as either a distribution point of required materials to / for those that you serve (or to your internal team of professionals) or be used as a method of drawing a specific demographics of traffic to your web site (as publicity).

Blog ::  Blogs have taken the Internet by storm, and offer a streamlined and popular format of self publishing.  Not unlike a CMS (Content Management System) it's specific format and RSS (Really Simple Syndication) have an appeal to many.

Classifieds :: Offer free (or paid) classifieds advertising on your Site.  In addition to standard Classifieds, we have access to Auction and even Real Estate listings types of scripts for your use.  

Media Delivery Systems :: With high bandwidth Internet becoming the norm with most, it's more and more common for Streaming Audio and Video delivery to be part of a company's on line presentation.  Regardless of if you're needing just a few programs offered on demand (infomercial, testimonial or other message) or if your company is a record label with a great many audio files to offer, we can set you up with minimal hassles.  Please note that we do not produce your files for you, but we can be instrumental in pointing you in the right direction with doing so for yourself.  We CAN however install any number of server applications for the presentation OF your files.  Be aware of the fact that streaming media uses a large amount of resources and that those sites that offer a good number of streams will most likely need substantially upgraded accounts to support the additional resources.  Contact us to discuss your needs and for a realistic quote for resources.

Calendars :: Set up public or private access calendars to list your important events.  These scripts are completely configurable through an on line admin panel (behind a password) so you can update them right from your browser.

Live Chat :: Set up (public or private) live chats to be used for any number of reasons, ranging from tech support, sales and marketing from your Web site, or as a private conference mechanism for your (remote) staff.











* Setup fee is dependent on any additional features ordered. Monthly fees are based on resources used.



N.E.W.D. Services

No Excuses Web Design offers a brilliant selection of Web services, implemented by a team of designers who collectively posses decades of Internet and Media experience.  Rather than offering a canned, "one size fits all" solution we offer an entire range of services combined with PERSONALIZED customer service.  If you don't see "exactly" what you want that's not a problem.  Tell us your needs and we'll offer you a solution in line with our other pricing structures.

Our services are built on a zero interest, payment plan structure which allows you to pay for our services on a budget, over time.  This means your business can enjoy everything our service has to offer for a small setup fee starting at $99.95 and a monthly fee of $49.95*.  And if you do the math, you'll quickly see that in addition to the convenient payment arrangements we offer, we charge much less than MOST of our competition for professional Internet services.   Our service agreement is written in plain, easy to understand English and without any fine print.  Read it here.

Totally Personalized Designs

It's one of the facts of Web site design...  the hardest part of the process is choosing the functions and the look and feel of the presence you're trying to build.   Most new to Web site ownership will be totally clueless about what they really want regarding the nuts and bolts of their site's functionality or what they want it to look like.  And a Web designer isn't going to build and rebuild a site (for free) until the decision is made.  To get over this "hump", N.E.W.D. provides a selection of templates for display.  And while  we CAN start with a template in the creation of your site, we don't HAVE to.  Our designers are programmers also, specializing in PHP, MySQL, so basically whatever you're needing, we can make happen.  The templates are only being displayed as a starting point and to make the decision of layout and appearance easier for those requiring such.  Please see our "What do I really want?" page for some tips on how to get started with this process.

Our Basic setup of $99.95* includes the layout and design of your web site along with up to 12 pages (with menu links) of published materials.   If you need to add additional functions to your web site (above and beyond your base site), such as those listed below, just add $49.95 to your setup fee for each, unless otherwise indicated.

The majority of functions offered by Web design companies can be obtained using already existing, open source methods and custom tailoring the code to match your needs. For those rare jobs which require full out custom coding, we have good news. Rather than the going rate of between $75 and $150 per hour, No Excuses can offer custom programming based on $30/hour and we'll even quote you a hard, out the door number up front. But rest assured that only the most elaborate setups will ever require full out custom coding. If you're not sure, just ask us.

Our $49.95 monthly fee* includes up to 100MB's of space, so keep in mind that if you opt to add a resource intensive application to your account (for example a photo gallery that houses hundreds of images) that you will likely be required to upgrade your space resources to accommodate them.  Your monthly also includes Web site tech support and one hour of updates (webmastering) each month.

Upgraded resources can be ordered at $15.00 / unit (100MB of space and 2000MB's of bandwidth) / Month.   MOST Web sites will run quite comfortably on our base account without additional resources.

Customer Support ::  We can set your company up with an on line Customer Support system, in either Ticket System or Live Chat formats.  If your company offers SERVICES, then this is a very cool and useful function to offer on your site.  We can EVEN program a Windows application (software) to interface with your On Line support system (to supply your clients with) for a small additional fee.

FAQ and Knowledgebase ::  Frequently asked Questions and Knowledgebase applications (categorized and searchable information in question and answer format) is a popular and effective way to cut back on tech support / customer support issues.

Shopping Cart ::  This is a system for presenting information and photos for products, providing a method of shopping for included items and providing the method for payment, in our case, PayPal.   The setup of a shopping cart is priced at $125.00.  This includes the installation, customization and configuration of your cart.   The posting (publishing) of your items is usually done by the client via the password protected admin interface (very easy).  However, for those clients who prefer not to have to set up their products personally, N.E.W.D. provides product publishing services (TO your shopping cart) for just $2 per item (using client supplied text and images).

Extended Hosting ::  For those requiring Hosting Only services, please see our sister site, RCMedia Services   Those current clients desiring a fully managed solution (tech support for your web site and updating) beyond their two year agreement may do so at a reduction of $25/month (extended resource fees, if you have any, still apply).
