Our specialty is helping you obtain a high-quality Internet presence, at the lowest cost. That means if you require forms, scripts etc, we show you where you can find them FREE. Your next choice is whether you wish to set them up yourself, or have us set them up, charging you ONLY for the set-up, not the programming. This alone can save you hundreds of dollars. We have already reviewed the sites offering these services, and recommend only the most reputable among them.
"BUT IF YOU'RE JUST AS GOOD AS THE EXPENSIVE DESIGNERS -- WHY WOULD YOU PASS UP THE BIG MONEY?"
A few businesses can afford thousands of dollars for a Web Site - the vast majority can not. The numbers are in our favor, plain & simple.
We will NOT lead you to believe that you can have a huge, high-tech "eBay" type site for anything less than the going rates. The highly technical sites require Internet Programmers, and are best left in the hands of a company which provides guaranteed programming & support, for each application they develop for you. Having said that, there are still very few businesses who require more than what we can provide.
Naturally, the packages are the best deal, but if you don't require a package, then you shouldn't have to purchase one. Melody Creations International provides whatever individual Creations you need. You can create your own package, with total charges being reduced based on the quantity you purchase.
Please see the handy "Services Guide", for detailed explanations & examples of our services.

TABLES, such as the small one above, are priced according to the number of columns required. A simple set up like the "Individual Creations" table, would cost $30 U.S., with each additional column being $5 U.S. extra. Tables up to 30 lines in length are included in this rate, as well as custom bullets, effects, etc. Larger Tables cost more, but the rates are negotiable depending on the actual length, and the package you purchase.
Please note that these are guidelines only. Everyone's needs are different, and we pride ourselves in being both flexible & negotiable.
* THEN WHAT? *
As is the standard practice, Melody Creations requires half of the agreed upon fee before beginning your site, with the balance due when your site is complete.
We accept payment via Credit Card, Paypal, Cheques/Checks (clearance required before work commences), and E-Gold.
Once the initial installment has been cleared, we begin working with you. We're not finished until your site is live, your graphics placed, and you are comfortable with doing business online. (Some limitations apply to avoid abuse of this Policy.) The final payment for your design is required before your graphics are released.
