Website Design, Hosting, SEO, Administration Services
Discounted Rates available for many services from NCPA's website administrator
Eric Larson is a web design professional who has been in the business for over 16 years. His expertise encompasses an array of web based services including: website design/redesign/creation/maintenance, website hosting, email campaigns, social media marketing, and more. He works with clients of all sizes - from large corporations to sole proprietorships, psychological associations to individual psychologists. In fact, if you've visited the NCPA website, you've seen an example of his work.
Eric offers a discounted rate for his services to current NCPA members. Pricing starts at $15/month which includes managed hosting and site updates (and even eventually upgrades/redesigns) and most of the services mentioned above. Need a new website or redesign? Pricing for that starts at $500. If you're wondering about the "starting" qualifier, good question. That price is for most basic websites. Creating/updating websites based on a CMS, such as Wordpress, Joomla, etc, may cost a little more since they can be a little more time intensive, sometimes requiring a little more work, depending on what's needed. Each job will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, but Eric will do his best to work with you to keep his prices as close to, if not at the "starting" prices mentioned.
If you're interested in, or have any questions about website services, would like to inquire about pricing or simply want to ask for advice on "digital marketing" or anything else web-related, please contact Eric at eric@bigexpresswebdesign.com. He's always happy to field questions from NCPA members.
