Small Business Web Design.
We help small businesses who wish to start their online presence with agency quality & professional websites.
FIRST STEP
1. Domain
To get a website, you first need a domain. The domain is what your users will type on an internet browser to visit your website. It’s only $15/ year for a “.com” domain.
You will be able to search for available domains once you select a website package that best suits your needs.
Domain FAQ’s
Does my domain name need to be my business name?
No. You can be as creative as you want and purchase any available domain. We recommend that you atleast have your business name as a domain.
If the domain name is not available, you may also try adding more keywords such as the name of your city, "llc", or hyphens within the domain name.
Must I register my business first before I get a website?
No. Your business does not need to be registered for you to have a website. Anyone can have a website published online, including e-commerce websites.
What if my domain name is taken?
If the domain name you're attempting to get is not available, you may try adding more keywords such as the name of your city, "llc", or hyphens within the domain name. You may also try searching for ".net" instead of ".com".
You can get any domain name you want and be as creative as you want to be. For example, let's say we want our clients to type "Best Website Agency". In that case, we can get "bestwebsiteagency.com" as our domain name. You can get as many domain names as you want & direct them all to your website!
Do I need a website per domain name?
No. You can have as many domain names as you want and direct the traffic to the same website. A website is stored on a server and you can decide how many domains redirect users to your website.
A circumstance in which you may need a second website for a second domain name is if it's for a secondary business with its own set of services.
What if I already have a domain name elsewhere?
If you already have a domain name with another registrar such as GoDaddy, HostGator, etc. You can keep your domain with them and we'll provide you with our web hosting/ web support services.
You may also transfer your domain with us if you'd like. New domains and domain transfers are only $15/ year. You will be able to select whether you want to keep your domain elsewhere or would like to buy/ transfer your domain during the checkout screen.
SECOND STEP
2. Web Hosting
The web hosting of your website is where all your website files, photos, & web content is stored. It provides us with access to C-Panel & the necessary tools for us to start building your website.
Cheaper to other web development agencies, our web hosting plans start at $35 / month, with no contract, and are pro-rated to the 1st of every month. Our web hosting is required in order for us to work on building a website. Our web hosting provides you with peace of mind as we provide nightly backups, de-hack services, web security, and more!
Additionally, our web developers are monitoring your website with real-time server notifications. Should anything happen with your website, we will know about it before you do.

*The time provided monthly for support changes isn't accumulative. The allocated time for "web changes support" for multiple websites are shared for all websites under the same plan. Web support changes include website changes such as images, phone numbers, titles, etc. Ticket web support means you submit a ticket for support. De-Hacking services are done for websites hosted with us & we treat this very seriously with immediate response from our development team. Basic De-hacking is submitted as a high priority ticket via web support.
How does web support work?
We created our web hosting plans with our client's best interests at heart. The web support included with all of our web hosting plans grants you access to our web developers and creative team with a click of a button. Once you submit a ticket with your domain and situation, our on-call developers will get it instantly.
You can request changes to your website consisting of adding or updating images, telephone numbers, addresses, new employee information, etc. We are here to help you get the most out of your website!
Plus, our web developers are monitoring your website with real-time notifications. Should anything happen with your website, we will know about it before you do.

Can I host my website elsewhere?
Yes. Once the website is completed, you may keep it with us or transfer it to a different hosting provider. We will provide you with your C-Panel log-in so that your new hosting provider may conduct a website migration.
That being said, we will still need to activate a web hosting account initially while we work on your website. There are no fees for canceling, transferring, or minimum amount of days before being able to cancel our web hosting plans. To cancel your web hosting plan, simply submit a ticket and our team will make sure your plan deactivates at the end of the month so that you don't get charged again.
Once a web hosting plan has terminated, our developers won't have access to provide you with any web support. You would have to contact your new web hosting company for support.
Why use your web hosting over others?
We created our web hosting plans with our client's best interests at heart. All of our web hosting plans are no contract & pro-rated to the first of every month, similar to phone service.
We combined web hosting and web development into our plans that you can easily reach. Typically, other web hosting companies won't be able to make changes to your website and only manage server-level configurations and settings. What happens next? You would have to hire a web developer (like ours) and grant them access to your website and hosting provider so they may assist you. Depending on their workload, a simple website modification may take several days or even weeks and you will be charged for their labor. You would also be responsible for contacting your web hosting company if something goes wrong with your website server configurations. This, of course, is only after you've spotted or noticed the errors or malfunctioning items on your website.
Our web hosting & support plans provide you the highest level of support you can get! We handle server inquiries, web development, conduct nightly back-ups, 99.95% uptime, SSL, de-hacking services, and provide the highest level of security for your peace of mind! All for less than $1.60/ day. In simpler terms, we are your IT/ Web Support/ Creative department.

3. Web Design
The development of a website is one of the best investments any business can make. It even pays for itself if done right. Investing in a professional website can be compared to hiring the most hard-working employee your company will ever hire.
We offer high-quality websites at more affordable rates than larger web development agencies. Our “The Basics” professional websites, which includes everything you need to get started, starts at only $2,000.
Only a partial payment is needed for our team to get started. Scroll below and explore the website package that best suits your project requirements. Once you’ve made your choice, you may use our online checkout page.
Website FAQ’s
Are your website prices only a one time payment?
Yes. Our website prices are only a one-time payment for the work provided by our team. The total amount is divided into 3 or 4 equal payments while web development takes place. The available payment plan is biweekly or triweekly, paid with a credit/ debit card via your account. You may also request to change the remaining installments to a monthly plan by submitting a ticket from your account once you've successfully made your first payment.
Do I own the website I paid to have developed?
Absolutely! Once the website is finished & paid for, the website is completely yours to do as you wish. We built our company by providing value through our services. We are creative & passionate nerds who provide excellent customer service.
Does my website need to be paid in full for it to be published?
No. We focus on providing the best website design experience & we understand you need to have your website published once we're finished with our work.
The turnaround for the completion of your website varies by the website package you chose. The website package you sign up for is a legally binding contract between M.A Interactive and yourself & does not interfere with us delaying the website from going live. It's exciting to see our newest creation, your website, go live for the world to see and representing your business on the internet.
How does a website pay for itself?
Investing in a professional website is similar to hiring the most hard-working employee your company will ever hire. This new "employee" will work 24/7, understand your business inside and out, and will forever deliver your sales pitch correctly. Additionally, this new "employee" can speak to multiple visitors at once and will always be awake & attentive promoting your services without getting tired. Your website will be working even while you're not working.
What amount would you pay an employee that will work this much and help you close more sales?
Get to know your website!
Your website is like an "employee" and part of your team, working hard alongside the rest of your employees. Here below are some quick tips that can help you take better care of your new employee.
- Look after your employee by giving them the attention they deserve. Pay them well & don't neglect their needs to perform better.
- Make sure your employee looks the part because first impressions count. Torn shoes and dirty clothes won't cut the deal, it must look presentable.
- Introduce your employee to the whole workforce and don't let them feel like an outsider, sitting on the sidelines. It needs to integrate with the rest of your business.
- Keep your employee informed about the latest services, news, sales scripts, and changes in your company so your employee can be focused & prepared.
- Give your employee mobility so it can work harder for your business. Give them a company car & business cards so they can get out into the world and sell for you!
Is the initial deposit counted towards the website total?
Absolutely! The deposit is also the first payment and deducted from the website design total. There are no additional deposits or fees charged. The remaining balance will be processed in weekly payments until fully paid.
