Clerical Plus utilizes a simple and affordable website design and our implementation fees are as below. When reviewing our fees, keep in mind that as of the fall of 2019, the average price of a professionally built website in Central New Jersey was well over $1000. You should also know we have not changed our website design and implementation package fees for over 8 years, and we have only raised our hourly rates once over the past 12+ years. Clerical Plus is very affordable!
Also, as per our home page: We have very simple and reasonable development rates for all of our services . . . and, as you will see below, unlike most other website developers/builders/designers, we list all of our rates upfront and are totally transparent. Clerical Plus’s hourly and website implementation rates are typically 1/2 what others charge, with a multitude of free services included. We work by verbal or email agreement . . . no written contracts to sign . . . typically no money up front (I only ask for money up front if I really do not know you/you are not a referral) . . . and no $1000s retainer fee up for our maintenance/SEO services (also very rare, especially for SEO service, as most SEO provider ask for $1000s up front). With any website implementation, if at any time you are not 101% happy or satisfied with our service, you can walk away, no questions asked (but of course I may remove any work I have implemented). As for the Clerical Plus monthly maintenance and SEO service . . . we service monthly and bill quarterly, and again, you can walk away at any time, no questions asked. You should know up front, Clerical Plus has NEVER lost a client.
