affordable websites | Web Design WorkPlace

You bet. Web Design Workplace builds MultiSite WordPress systems where dozens of websites can run from a single control panel. Once the initial site is up, building new sites later is much faster and way less expensive. WordPress 3.x might be the most affordable web platform for multiple government sites.

Government websites have common requirements and they can be attained with old style HTML websites or the modern WordPress style. But of course there are advantages and disadvantages to every choice in the computer world. Lets look at some of the requirements and then look at how affordable we can make them by choosing old HTML or new WordPress.

Government Website Requirements:

Security. The site must have an encrypted communications pipeline between the workstation and server. This is called “SSL” for the Secure Sockets Layer protocol. Also note that this SSL link must allow secure logins and also secure work on the administration area or dashboard. Not one or the other but both.
Backups. There has to be a mechanism to backup the site and the data and to restore the backup quickly.
Multi-Language Support. Many countries now require multi-language support at some level.
Ease of use to add / change / or delete content.
Provide alternate ways to read images for visually challenged readers.
Add captioning for video and sound media.

Security

HTML does not provide it naively but it can be custom built in. It’s expensive and proprietary.
WordPress has SSL capability build in. Except for the Secure Certificate which is needed at the server level, it’s free.

Backups

HTML and WordPress can be backed up at the server level using common server backup mechanisms.
WordPress allows MySQL Exports and XML post exports for finer backup granularity.

Multi-Language Support

HTML does not offer it. It can be done manually and it’s expensive.
WordPress has numerous plugins both free and proprietary that translate posts. WordPress itself can be setup in about 50 different languages so the Dashboard is all in the native language.

Ease of Use

HTML requires years of training and hands-on practice before modifications can be made to a page.
WordPress allows non-technical people to add / change / or delete content. WordPress also allows non-technical users to change the entire menu system easily.

Provide Alternate Text for Images

HTML allows this – but you have to be a computer programmer in order to write the HTML code or PHP language to actually implement it.
WordPress allows non-technical users to add alt text to all the images from the Dashboard / Media center.

Which is a better option for Affordable Government Websites? WordPress is the winner in almost every category.

Some of the “Big Box” web design places charge between $10,000 and $32,000 for a custom website. Web Design Workplace charges $1,000 for a 10 page professional website that outperforms the Big Box site in many ways.

Our designs are very attractive.
Sine we use WordPress, our sites rank quickly on on major Search Engines.
It is easy to add new pages to our sites – many of our customers do this themselves.
You can transfer your website to another host for a fee of $100 – we can email you the database and files the same day you need them so they are up to the minute fresh.
The 90% lower cost of ownership is REAL. Some people don’t believe it. Call Mal at 201-696-5375 and find out.

So back to the question, can you afford 90% Off For a Custom Website? The answer might be: Can you afford NOT to buy a website from Web Design Workplace?

What if you need a 50 page website?

We charge $50 per page after the first 10. Now we will negotiate any situation you may have. If you add the pages yourself we will give you a flat fee for fixing your menu system or whatever particular situation you may have.
