This option is mainly for people who want to ease into the website development process without an expensive initial commitment.

This is option is geared towards those who need website that has a robust set of features with several options in the future.
We can administer the site for you for an additional fee, but we figured we'd give you the chance to take the reigns for yourself to save you some money.
