Do you want to customize your ning network?

I’ve been doing $45 Customer Header Banners for Ning Networks for awhile now, but as I work on my own social networks (Black Business Women Online) and the (Black Moms Club), I seem to be getting more and more requests to do Custom Ning Websites from other network creators.

I haven’t added this service to my current web design packages, so I decided to post my price quote on sistasense for those of you who are interested in my work. Depending on what you want (common requests are often custom color designs and headers), I can give you a quote or you can take advantage of my all inclusive Ning Network Customization Package: $450. This package includes:

  1. Custom Header Banner
  2. Customize Network Graphics: Header, Customize Front Page, Setup Tabs, Color Formatting, side bar links
  3. Setup/ Design Pages Content (upto 6 pages, more pages require additional cost)
  4. A Banner Rotator (468×60, 728×90, 125×125,or 160×600)
  5. Create Graphics for 5 Group Pages
  6. Customize Network Settings: Setup Profile Questions (up to 12), Setup Forum Categories (up to 12)
  7. Any other Features: Quotes Available Upon Request

What’s your Ning Network?

To date I have several ning networks, I really can’t help it, I just love ning! My area of interest has always been creating positive Black Websites and Women, which is why I have developed ning networks specific to business women, mothers, writers, and women of color.

If you would like to share your network with me and my readers, please feel free to tell me about it in the comments section below.

My Most Popular Networks are:

Black Business Women Online
A Network for Women of Color In Business
Over 2300 Members as of June 2008

Black Moms Club
A Network for Mothers of Color and Single Parents

Need Help With Your Ning Network?

Now if you happen to have questions about setting up your site, Ning has an extensive FAQ for Network creators along with two very helpful community groups: Ning Creators and the Ning Developer Network. If you can’t find the answer to a question in the FAQ, chances are some one has also asked that question in one of the creator communities I mentioned. You also have the option of contacting ning directly. I have found them to be quick responders and very helpful when I had questions about my groups.
