Generally speaking, you can assume that a site of this type will cost between $1,500.00 and $1,750.00 to complete.

Rather than work on an hourly schedule, which in my experience often results in cost overruns, I prefer to offer my clients a fixed price for their web design project.

This price cannot be determined until detailed information is obtained from the client about the design and functionality of their website. What follows are some price guidelines for a typical brochureware website design.

Basic Website Design & Development

My basic website development generally consists of the following:

• Domain name registration
• One year of web hosting
• Five to ten pages of content
• One contact page with Spam protection features
• One search engine friendly Site Map
• One information page for copyright, privacy and accessibility information

Generally speaking, you can assume that a website of this type will cost between $1,500.00 and $1,750.00 to complete. This price can vary signficantly depending on the graphic design needs or other features required by the client.

Free Initial Consultation

The first phase of this per-project pricing is to discuss your needs. I will send you a fairly detailed questionnaire asking about different aspects of your business, your customer base and your website goals. I will also ask about your color preferences, graphic logo availablity, etc. After receiving and reviewing your questionnaire I will have a much better idea of what is required for your project. I will communicate my thoughts to you and see if you are interested in doing further business with me.

Web Design Proposal

If you are willing to proceed, I prepare a detailed and comprehensive proposal that is particular to your needs. I charge $75.00 for this proposal. However, this fee is applied as a credit to the project price once you decide to hire me to develop your website. This proposal outlines what you can expect, when you can expect it, and how much the total price will be for the project. This price will only change if the scope of the project changes. By pricing projects in this way, you are assured that the project price will not change.

What’s Next?

If the you approve the proposal, I require an initial deposit before beginning the project. I accept cash, check or Visa/MasterCard through PayPal. Once payment is received, I am off-and-running with the new project. I will work hard and smart until the project meets all the terms of the proposal.
