RATES

VerticalLift's web design, copywriting, and editorial services can be contracted by the hour or by the job; choose whichever is most comfortabe. There are no hidden fees or unexpected charges. The price you are quoted is the price you pay. Period. If you need a website and have $1,500 to spend, we'll work with you to ensure that you get the most for your dollar, while guaranteeing that you stay within your budget. If you'd prefer to pay as you go, we'll charge an hourly rate and bill you accordingly. We charge $35 per hour for design services, and $25 per hour for copywriting and editorial services--which is impressive given industry rates that often exceed $75 per hour. We also offer special discounted rates to start-ups and non-profits. Again, we're here to help you succeed, so if you want to raise your corporate profile and lower your cash outlay, call VerticalLift today at 216.650.1665 or send us an email to set up a free initial consulataion.

Why choose VerticalLift? Companies often spend more on T-shirts, ball caps and post-it notes--which have limited shelf-lives as promotional items--than they would to establish a professional and permanent presence on the web through VerticalLIft--a presence that will create great word of mouth, enhance credibility, establish corporate identity, and improve sales. Moreover, as an interface, your website will allow you to communicate with, and market directly to both prospects and existing customers.

WHAT WE DO

We design websites for organizations of all sizes. Like the bridges of the same name, VerticalLift adjusts to accomodate both the marketing and budgetary needs of our customers. Each website we design is the product of close client consultation to ensure that the finished site matches the unique look and feel of the client's organization -- whether that calls for a design that's sleek, linear and conservative, or one that's colorful and eccentric. We can create shopping carts, php/MySQL databases, guestbooks and mailing lists. We also provide search engine submission and optimization services, which include keyword and meta tag analysis, link reciprocity programs, as well as open directory and industry related site linking. To reduce continuing maintenance expenses, we will even train your staff to perform site updates in-house, provided that they are equipped with the necessary software to perform such updates. In short, if you need to increase your visibility online, VerticalLift can help. We pride ourselves on offering economical solutions to your unique needs.
