Because this is a “friends and family” type thing there is an enormous amount of flexibility in what we can do in terms of pricing. This page will detail a majority of the add-ons to your web space that I have readily available. If you want a feature not listed here, its probably easy enough to find and add, so just ask.

How much disk space will you need?

Most everyday websites will fit comfortably within 50mb of space. My Robspages.net site for example, uses about 250mb including Photoshop files, web images, and databases for my Gallery as well as our blog.

You may want to gather some good examples of what you will be storing together in a single folder in Windows then right click on the folder and select “properties” from the drop down menu. The window that pops up will tell you how much space the items in that folder require.

As a general rule of thumb for guestimating space usage, consider that an average HTML web page uses about 2 or 3 kilobytes (.03mb) of space, a typical jpeg image takes anywhere from 30 to 100kb (.3mb ~ 1mb) of space.

If you want or need more space than what I have, let me know and we can work something out.
