Web Design - Pricing
Pricing for web sites will vary, but they are usually between $100 and $500 per page. There are several factors
that affect this. These include the complexity of pages, the amount of client interaction, and the development
of a site theme. Unfortunately we can not give a quote over the phone, but we can provide an estimate. For a
quote we would need either face to face or email interaction. All quotes are obligation free.
- Page Complexity
-
Pages can range from basic XHTML ($100) to complex dynamic content full of calculations and database
connectivity ($500) and everywhere in between. After initial discussions you will be given a list of pages
to be in your site and their related individual cost.
- Client Interaction
-
Initial client interaction is free. It is important for the client and us to get an accurate representation
of what the client wants in their website. Once this has been achieved a requirements document will be
compiled and each party will sign it. This basically outlines the entire website, what it will contain and
the charge for the entire site and the cost of the individual components of it. Any major changes after
this will be charged for. Any minor changes may be free of charge if they are kept to a minimum. We are
not inflexible but free of charge changes are at our discretion. In any case, no fees will be applied
without discussions of the fees with the client first.
- Theme Development
-
Nearly all web sites have a common graphical theme that is prevelant on all pages of the site. The cost of
developing this theme really depends on the client. If your business or company already has a theme that
you would like to transfer to the web site the costs of this will be minimal, especially if you already
have that theme in a digital medium. Basic graphical design can be done by tws but if you require graphics
of a truly professional nature then we can recommend you to a graphical designer or liase with one on your
behalf. As you can tell the cost of this development can vary greatly and will be discussed with clients
individually.
The above pricings are for new web sites. If you already have a web site and need it maintained, revamped, or
made XHTML compliant then we can do that too.
- Site Revamping
-
The process for determing the cost of a site revamp is basically the same as for a new site.
- Site Maintenance
-
Need to change the content of your site constantly but you think the cost is too high? Contact us. Our
rates are extremely competitive and work out to around $20 an hour for a site that needs to be regularly
updated. Once off maintenance rates are higher but still very competitive.
- XHTML Compliancy
-
XHTML is a language that promotes cross browser and cross platform compatibility. If your site is not XHTML
compliant then a client with Internet Explorer on a Windows machine may see a totally different result
compared to a client on a Macintosh machine using Mozilla. This can at the very least make the site look
unprofessional and at the worst make the site erroneous which means the information and/or product you are
promoting is not getting to your client. We can convert your site for between $10 - $50 a page depending
on the size of the pages involved. If you are unsure if your site is XHTML compliant contact us and we will
test it and show you the results for free.
