Professional Website Design

For companies that want a customized, professional website design, Tampa Bay Hosting specializes in taking the hassle out of getting your business onto the Internet. Tampa Bay Hosting can be relied on to work closely with you to provide on-going assistance from web design, to servicing and updating of your web site. Your customers will continually be informed with the most current information on your company and its products. Tampa Bay Hosting has been providing web development to the business community since 1998.

Most business customers want help getting started with their web site and then start to maintain it themselves. We highly suggest using a Content Management System (CMS) like Joomla!. Joomla! 3.x allows you to build and expand your site with little, or no, web experience. Many inexpensive templates exist that you can use to give your site a rich look and feel. Because Joomla! is an Open Source Project (OPS), there is no cost for the system. You pay only to get it installed for you, setup, configured, and customized to meet your requirements. This allows you to have a site that would have cost tens of thousands of dollars just a few years ago for a small fraction of that cost.

Most initial implementations of a CMS system installed, customized with a template, configured, and input of initial content cost from $649 to $999. More complex implementations can run between $999 and $2999.

It really depends on your timetable and how much of the initial content and configuration you want to do. With any of our web hosting plans, you can perform all the website leg-work for just the cost of the hosting plan, as we offer "Click to install" right from the hosting C-Panel control panel.

If you decide you need some help, we are here for you!  We will assist you in any manner you see fit to give your website a professional look and feel.  If you like, once you feel comfortable, we will hand over the reigns and you can maintain the site yourself. However, if you want us to do all the work, we can arrange that through one of our Managed Hosting add-on packages*.  You provide us with the changes you'd like made each month, and we will update it for you. If, and when, you need additional support, we are always available to assist you with all your web-tech needs.

Tampa Bay Hosting is dedicated to keeping your costs at a minimum. That is why we gladly post our prices right here on our website. You won't see our competitors doing it. They want you to call for a vague quote. We want your business and your trust, as that is how we have built our business.

As such, we are here to offer local, professional, web site designs that will best suit your company and it's ever changing internet needs. Prices are based on you providing the written and graphic material (logos, images, etc.) to be used in the web site. You retain all ownership and copyrights to your materials and those we develop for you. For larger sites that require displaying a large quanty of data we can work with you to develop an online database to provide an easy to maintain and updated web site. Want an online store? We will design your store around the VirtueMart shopping cart that has all the features of any major website, but has your store's own unique look and feel.
