Paid services
- Web site design & development:
A good web site is your worker 24/7, taking messages, explaining your business, providing references, portfolios, contact information, selling your service or product.
We make a web site that works for you. - Web hosting:
Web hosting from $15/month. - We have switched to a new Domain Name Registrar. The site is easier to navigate and the company’s politics are cleaner, too. (If you registered your domain yourself through us before 2012 you probably did so through the old Domain Name registrar. We encourage you to transfer to the new Registrar.)
- We run Apache2 servers with PHP4 and PHP5, and available databases are MySQL5 and PostgreSQL8.
- Nightly/weekly/monthly/annual backups.
- 100% renewable energy powered.
We can design your site, give it a tune up, and help you keep your content fresh. From $50/hr, with discounts for enviros.
Thanks for all the hard work you put into the new website. It looks great and the transition went so smoothly. I’m already getting great feedback from customers!
Easy site updates

I want to let you know how much I appreciate the postings on your site. In fact, I found an item that is critical to a project I’m working on in Del Rio. You announced and had a link to the new ASTM listing for Earthen Construction. I bought and downloaded it then and there!
If there’s ever a greenbuilding hall of fame, you should have a statue in there… well, at least a decent plaque!
