This is what we do best. We fully customize websites built from the ground-up in order to create something unique for you.

"What’s a page?" That’s the question we hear most often. We define a “page” as whatever information and/or pictures that can fit onto two standard 8.5” x 11” sheets of paper at reasonable sized font and photo size. “Pages” do not necessarily need to be on separate web pages! They can be stacked on top of each other within one web page (thus information and/or pictures that can fit onto four, six, eight, or more standard 8.5” x 11” sheets of paper) if you like. This would make for one long web page as opposed to traditional length web pages.
Each “page” includes a custom designed standard header and footer. No more than five pictures per “page.”
Websites of 5 pages or more will receive a completely custom design based on your input. Howeverm 1-4 pages will
be created from a basic standard template, not customized. “Add-ons" are available at an extra cost.

Let's talk about "turnkey" website builders. They are the type that you pay for monthly (sometimes free, though not recommended) through companies such as Wix, Squarespace, or GoDaddy. These companies provide complete hosting, domain, and email services, as well a provide a choice of many different templates and plug-ins to create your website.
Unfortunately, most people still need a trained web designer to design their website, even using a company such as these. The reason is twofold: one is that most people are not very good at web design and will end up having a site that is not optimal, and the other that most people simply do not have the time to put in to building one of these sites. CT Graphics can do it for you.

There are two major types of templated, "turnkey" eCommerce builders. The first is the type that you pay for monthly (sometimes free, though not recommended) through companies such as Shopify, WooCommerce, or Volusion. Even companies such as Wix, Squarespace, or GoDaddy now offer e-Commerce capabilities. All of these companies provide complete hosting, domain, email, storefront, product management, and payment processor services, as well providing a choice of many different templates and plug-ins to create your very own eCommerce website.
Unfortunately, most people still need a trained web designer to design their eCommerce website, even using a company such as these. The reason is twofold: one is that most people are not very good at web design, or are unfamiliar with how eCommerce sites work. There can be a considerable learning curve with these types of sites, and the result may be having a site that is not optimal. The other is that most people simply do not have the time to put in to building one of these sites. CT Graphics can do it for you.
The other types of eCommerce websites use open-source software, such as Magento, Open Cart, or Zen Cart. These run on independent platforms which need to be hosted by an outside source. The features are very similar to templated eCommerce sites, and CT Graphics is able to build and host them for you. Be sure to contact CT Graphics to learn all you need to know about all these different types of eCommerce sites.

CT Graphics has its own web hosting to get your website up on the internet. Web hosting is like renting a tiny piece of the internet so that the public can access your site. Our hosting costs $125 per year per site.
Domains are the www.whatever.com you type in to get to a website. Email is a virtual "mailbox" that has a name and lives at that domain. Owning a domain and
an email address is a little like renting a small piece of the internet that you can use. We offer domains at $35 per year, and email addresses at that domain for $125 per year, per address.
