Additional Pages
Just as your business has different departments, so too does your website. The different departments of your business deserve individual attention on your website. Each additional page will feature those departments in a professional manner, highlighting the specific features each provide your business. Writing and editing copy is included if requested. There is no word minimum to determine an "additional page". A page is a page if you say it is a page.
$35.00 each additional page

Virtual Domain Name Registration
Domain names are generally easy to remember names used instead of difficult to remember IP address numbers or ISP dominant names. For example, instead of the cumbersome www.telusplanet.net/public/joesbarbershop/, with a virtual domain name, your website URL would be www.joesbarbershop.com. Most businesses are advised to register a virtual domain name. You have your choice of a top level domain such as .ca, .net, .org, or .com or you can take a secondary level such as .ab.ca, which clearly indicates your place of origin (Alberta, Canada) as designated by the United Nations.
