Welcome to Cybersites. My name is Sheryl Wright and I specialise in creating and managing simple, functional websites for those who would like a web presence but don't want to spend a fortune. My interest in web design started over sixteen years ago when I created my first website and was soon approached by individuals and small groups to help them set up a webpage, and so Cybersites grew from there!
My focus has always been on creating and managing simple, functional websites and offering a friendly, jargon-free, economical, personalised service for those who don't have the skills or time to create and manage a website themselves, but don't want to spend a fortune.
Please note that currently I am not taking on any new clients so the following information is for existing clients only.
My ChargesInitial Charges:
Web Site Design & Set-up: My hourly charge is $30 + GST. As an estimation if I am supplied with an electronic version of all of the information you would like on your site (eg wording, pictures, graphics sent via email or on disk) it generally takes about an hour and a half to create and upload each page onto the internet.
Purchase of a Domain Name: This is the purchase of the internet address you will use - your very own piece of internet real estate! When you buy a domain name you are getting the bit that comes after the www eg: www.mynamehere.co.nz This works a bit like renting a Post Office Box – you pay an annual fee for the use of that address. All domain names are unique. Once it is registered it cannot be used by anyone else and it will remain yours for as long as you want it – or at least for as long as your pay the annual renewal fee! When choosing a name its best to choose a short, simple, memorable, easy to spell name. A domain name also includes all the email addresses that come with that domain (eg info@mynamehere.co.nz or jane@mynamehere.co.nz I use and recommend www.freeparking.co.nz and can register a domain name on your behalf with them for $39.95 + GST.
Purchase of a Hosting Package: Hosting is paying for the service which stores your internet pages and makes them available on the internet 24 hours a day 7 days a week. In exchange for this service you pay the owner of the host computer (called a server) an annual fee. In the past I purchased hosting plans on my clients behalf from various hosting companies, however it was becoming increasingly difficult to source a package that met our clients needs and budget. As a result I decided to source my own hosting solutions, which I am now able to offer exclusively to my clients. By sourcing my own solutions I am not only able to offer you a very competitive rate but am also able to be more flexible with the packages offered. When comparing prices with other hosts please note our charges are annual not monthly as often quoted. As an example I can offer the following:
Pearl Package: Suitable for smaller sites including up to 50 MB disk space with 1000 MB monthly site traffic ($40 + GST per year)
Ruby Package: Suitable for medium sized sites including up to 75 MB disk space with 1500 MB monthly site traffic ($75 + GST per year)
Diamond Package: Suitable for larger popular sites including up to 100 MB of storage with 2000 MB monthly site traffic ($150 + GST per year)
(Note: if storage or traffic limits are exceeded website function may be suspended and additional charged incurred)
Ongoing Charges
Additions / alterations: If you require any addition or alterations to your site after the initial set up I can offer this service at $25+GST per hour. Please note that this service is offered on a monthly basis (e.g. updates will be completed within a month of request unless I am advised they are urgent - in which case an extra fee may apply).
Annual Renewal of Domain Name & Hosting Package: Once your site is established I will automatically renew your Domain Name & Hosting Packages on an annual basis (charges as above) unless I am notified otherwise before the renewal date.
Annual Site Management Charge: An annual charge of $25 + GST includes monitoring your site throughout the year and renewing your domain name / hosting package on your behalf.
