Maine Web FX offers three newspaper web design packages to get your newspaper to the forefront of technology and the web, each designed to customize your newspaper's individualized needs. Custom layouts designed to specific functionality to ensure your online needs are met. Your website works for you. Each package and pricing structure is aimed to enhance your business plan rather than work against it.

Each of these packages include full search engine optimization, which will allow your newspaper to have an edge against the competition when potential readers search for news covered by your staff. (See related item Newspaper Turf War for more information).

Support for any of these packages are available for the life of your site via phone, e-mail and client support site. We stand behind every site we create and will help with any problems that may come up long after the site is launched.
