design by no one offers highly competitive rates, if you find any cheaper price anywhere no one will beat it. To help prove no one's guarantee, a good deal of time has been spent assessing competitors pricing, level of service and quality. These results are available in the table below.
If you run a non-profit organisation or have other reasons where you need the lowest cost possible, no one will design, administer and update websites at cost price. Skip over table

Depending on your current level of knowledge, you may not understand the above comparison as well as you should. In order to help you make the right decision, no one will help you understand what you need to know.
The name of the company determines a level of trust, quality and price, with design by no one, you receive one of the fastest response times, a throughly tested website, and the guaranteed lowest price.
With design, low price does not mean low quality. no one proves this by even offering some sites at cost price which, without a paid domain and paid can actually mean a free site for your non/low-profit organisation or a personal website.
There are always hidden costs. Such hidden costs include: monthly hosting, maintenance and domain renewal. design by no one's costs are $40 deposit (if required), and $240 paid after the website has been designed and a design agreed upon. Costs after the first year are $15/month which pays for top quality hosting on (details here) and yearly domain renewal, this fee can also be paid yearly with a 10% discount.
This site has more than 25 pages. Are three or four pages really going to help your goals? no one offers unlimited pages (within reason) for your website, all with a fixed cost
The web is constantly changing, if you just tack a site up is it really going to help? no one practises web standards and throughly checks designs in every browser your viewers/clients could use. These browsers include: Internet Explorer, Opera, Firebird/Mozilla/Netscape (these all use the same engine) and Lynx (a text based browser).
Domains are not as important as they once were, but are still an essential part to success. For example, noone.net has been "squatted" with a minimum asking price of $1000, the majority of clients do not mind the alternate domain name of nevyn.net. Recent surveys show that around 80% of internet users will search for a site rather than try to remember a URL, included with design by no one is submission to a number of major search engines and directories, including Google, Yahoo and Dmoz.org. These submissions allow visitors/customers the ability type 'design by no one' or such in google, and find your site right there on the first page.
Hosting is the most important underlying aspect of your site, next to design and the codebase used therein. If your website is "down" or non-existant you are missing out.
The second most important aspect as mentioned above, are the program(s) used to create your site. These programs have an large impact on the speed, quality and efficiency of your website. Coupled with no one's choice of hosting, your website will load in 2-5seconds compared to the waiting time of 9-12 seconds for the majority of websites, visitors will progressively give up trying to access your website as the loading time increases. A lot of website designers use graphical WYSIWYG editors. While these programs are useful in aiding design, they do terribly on the coding, which is what the www is based on! Up to 90% of the code created by these editors may be useless! So if your site takes forever to load or performs poorly contact no one to see what can be done.
Hourly rates can always be cheated upon, time spent finding code can easily cost you a lot of money For example, the quote script on the right took 25mins to locate, an additional 40mins to test the alternate scripts for speed, understandability and reliability, and about 5mins to implement, technically you should only be charged for the 5mins, but do you really think those depending on hourly rates will only charge you 20c when they can make $30?
no one accepts payment via PayPal. Why PayPal you ask? Just about every personal site has a "make a donation" button. This makes PayPal the world leader in online payment systems, with one of the lowest fees required. Payments are made via either a credit card, or direct deposit and are transferred directly and securely, saving time and ensuring delivery. no one is also looking into BPay. The only "side effect" of using a world leading company is that transactions are conducted in USD, so be sure to check the conversion rates before paying.
For those clients who wish to pay in AUD, Paymate is available but be aware that a handling fee is charged per transaction. Paypal on the other hand costs a mere $5 to sign up.
Payment to no one requires a deposit to make sure no time is wasted in servicing your needs.
no one offers 3 different levels of payment for services:
One Time Payment: Full control over your website once its built - the domain, the hosting, email and they
pages will be under your full control even if you only have basic knowledge of html.
Periodical Payment: Monthly, Quarterly or Yearly payment is available, with regular updates if required
performed once a month for no extra charge.
Update Payment: The web is a constantly changing place, Even Netscape (AOL) is considering implementing the
Internet Explorer engine in their browser. Regularly updated website keeps visitors coming back,
depending on the type of site, if you don't maintain your updates your customers/visitors will slip away...
Updates made to an existing site are available, provided your current providers contract allows such,
these are done on 'one time' basis but require an "optimisation package" to be purchased also,
if you like you can move your website to design by no one and receive regular updates for a fixed periodical fee.
You may also supply your own domain, hosting and/or email addresses / email server for reduced costs.
