What is a Standard Website Design?

If you want to create a Web site for your business, but lack the time or the know-how to get it done, Network Solutions can create a fully functional five-page Web site to suit your needs.

You can purchase additional Web pages for $60.00 per page. Since businesses grow and change, Network Solutions allows each user to create up to 35 Web pages per Web site.
