We have several people at The Creative Enterprises Network who serve new business owners . . . creative entrepreneurs with all kinds of ideas for business concepts. We want you to get a good overview of the different kinds of web sites we create and the shopping carts that we set up for our clients. No merchant account to accept credit cards? No problem -- we'll set you up with a shopping cart for PayPal or CCNow and you'll be ready to accept orders online in no time!

We don't quote specific rates here because everyone's "dream site" is different. But we will say that it is possible to get

A very small basic site including

• Home page
• About Us page
• two Products or other Content Pages
• and a Links page for as little as $425.00.

That would include connecting the site to a PayPal shopping cart.  If you need changes made, our fee for updates is $25 per hour (and we encourage you to “save up” all your changes so that you limit that expense to no more than once in a month or less if you don’t need the change immediately.)  You could figure on under $10 a month for hosting from many sites (although with purchasing a domain from or transferring your domain name to directNIC.com, you can get hosting for $4.95 per month that would include up to 3 URLs/sites in your account name.  And you can get them on the telephone if you need them, toll-free!  That’s one of the reasons we encourage you to use them -- so reliable and so reach-able!)

Other pages could be added as your inventory and/or content needs grow. But basically, you could very possibly be ready to take your business to the web for the cost of your domain name ($15 or less per year and $60 for a year’s hosting) and $500 for the web site set-up -- that's only $575 toward putting your business online.

Note:   we completely understand the challenges of the home-based business owner, organizations, and churches, and will be happy to work with you on a 50-50 payment plan -- 50% upfront, and 50% when the site is ready to upload completely

Below you'll find links to a variety of different types of sites that we've created for small business owners like yourself (and some non-profits and social organizations as well). See what appeals to you from these samples and then let us know what you're interested in.

We will be in touch to ask a few questions about what you have in mind, and what your needs are and give you a price quote.

There is NEVER any obligation to buy our services, and we promise we will not call or email if you decide not to use our services. We'll miss you, but we won't bug you! Honest!

Here are a few samples of sites we’ve built (and don't forget -- we built this site you're on right now!)  We do our best to build a site to suit YOUR needs, YOUR taste, and YOUR start-up budget.

Kut Kreator Barbershop               Eagle Building Center

Winthrop Regional SBDC                The Knights of Columbus               

Catawba Sail & Power Squadron    The Rock Hill Oratory

Our Patriot’s Journey                     Carolina Community Actions

The Humor Writer    (This author’s site is still online but no longer being updated -- she uses it now for examples of her work.  But we list it here as an example of a “fun” site -- one we worked very hard on to find or create appropriate graphics.  Click through -- you’ll like both the authori’s work and the fun environment we put it in!)                   

These are small 1-page “Billboard” sites that clients have requested.  They do not sell online and are only looking for a on online presence for their local businesses.  We will work with you to purchase an appropriate domain name, make the site as compatible with your business cards and print literature as possible, and design and upload for you.  Once we have all the information and payment from you, this can normally be completed in a matter of a 7-10 days.  Cost for a similar 1-page site (with optional calendar embedded in the site or a blog attached would be $100.  You would not be able to maintain the site itself, but you can maintain your own calendar and blog if you want to be able to list sales, new products, business events, etc.)  Additional costs could apply if you want something that would require more, i.e.: a logo creation or other original graphics, or substantial text editing.

Preferred Billing & Management Services

We help you take those first baby steps toward owning an online business.

People ask how we can make money charging as little as we do. Well . . . sure, we need to make a living . . . but everything in life isn't about money. Sometimes it's about the Golden Rule . . . "do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

And we remember how hard it was to get started  . . . to find answers, to have to figure out how to speak "computer-eze" and learn about search engine placement and keywords and text links vs banner links, and on and on. In 1997 there weren't too many people around who were serving "the little guy" or sharing information with them . . . it was all about the big Dot.com's.

But don't worry -- here at The Creative Enterprises Network -- we've got you covered!

And . . .

If we build your web site, we'll also give you

one free year's membership to The Creative Enterprises Network, so you can learn all the tricks of the trade from those who've been working online before you.
