Web Design Pricing Guidelines
The prices provided here are to be thought of as a guide. It is
completely possible that your quote will come in at or lower
than these guidelines. Depending on the size and amount of
advanced features of your website, your price quote could come
in a bit above these guidelines.
The first year of having a website is generally the most
expensive. This is the year that all of the initial setup
occurs and is the most time consuming. Depending upon the size
and intricacy of your website, it might only take a couple of
hours to design.
As a general guide, it probably takes about 2-3 hours to
get the basic structure of a simple website done. My general hourly
fee is $80/hr.
The next expenses that
are incurred are the cost of securing the
domain name, the cost of hosting the website [the big cloud in
the sky where your website lives!], and the cost of my
maintenance services. The built-in maintenance cost covers
one hour of
maintenance & small changes per month. Anything above the initial
one
hours will be billed at a discounted hourly rate. 'Small
changes' include the addition or removal of a few sentences or a
paragraph, changing of a few pictures, addition of an upcoming
event. If new pages or re-design's are necessary, they
will be billed at a negotiated rate. These costs are based on a six page website with pictures,
video, sound, and text. Most people like to include a 'contact
me' page similar to the page on this website. It allows a
website visitor to send a message to the site owner without
having to open up his or her email program. It just makes life
easier!
Naturally, upgrades are available! Please feel free to give me
your contact information so that we may discuss
the
possibilities for your own corner of the web!
