Website Design Cost

How Much Does A Website Cost

The primary cost of a website is based on the design firm you hire, freelancer, or whether you do it yourself. There are many pros and cons to either choice you make.

Large Design Firms

Most large well-branded design firms charge you way more than they should. But they have lots of clients and for the most part, are looking corporate clients who do not mind paying extravagant prices. A large design firm has other costs you as the client must help to pay.

• salaries – $30 per hour
• marketing
• insurance
• business building rent or cost

COST – $2,000 TO $30,000

You might think that hiring a professional firm is going to get you more for your dollar. If you are a large corporation it is easier to turn over your entire project to another corporation and let them handle all the details.

For a small business, it is a big waste of money to spend $2,000 or more and get a paid employee of a webs design firm to build your website. Glenn Website Design can provide you with a lot more than a large web design firm. Glenn uses his skills to operate his own website businesses which are profitable. Whereas if you go to a large firm you are going to get an individual assigned to your website design that is working for someone else because their skills are not good enough to run their own business.

Freelance Website Designers

You can find thousands of freelance designers by a simple search of Google. Most work cheap and if you find the right one you can get better service and a better quality website than most large firms can offer. But finding that guy is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Freelance designers are cheap because they have little or no overhead cost as do large firms. In many cases, you will find that a freelance designer was or is working for a large firm paying $30 per hour.

COST – $100 TO $2,000

Do It Yourself Website

Unless you have skills in website design DIY websites are going to do more harm than good. You are building your company image and brand, do it right. There is a lot more to building a website than free online website builders can offer.

COST-FREE if you fail to count the loss of business that will happen.

First, you should look at where the Website Design Cost come from. Also do not forget there is ongoing maintenance. Yearly you will have to pay hosting and domain registration fees. If you make changes to your business or add products that you want to be displayed that costs money unless you are doing it all yourself. For the most part if your business name or brand is unique the search engines will maintain your placement without additional adjustments.

How Can You Build Business Websites for $150

So I am sure you have to believe it is too good to be true that a freelancer like myself can offer you a high-quality website for your business for only $150 per year. How do I do it you ask?

1. My hosting company package $150 includes unlimited websites on one account Ipower Web
2. Ipower Web accounts also has unlimited file space and traffic and email accounts.
3. SSL is free using FREE SSL
4. My discount price for the rest is based on my time since for me designing a business website and making it work well is more of a hobby than a job.

So what it boils down to is I make a $140 clear profit not counting my time involved which is fun for me. The average small business website will take me 2 weeks to complete, maybe a little longer if the customer is very picky. No problem if you are, I love to please … and compliments are worth more than dollars to me. Like I said I have done this for 21 years for my own business websites and have gotten very good at it. I would put my skills against firms charging $10,000 any day they want a challenge. ALSO to note if the demand goes up so will my price.

The website design cost I set for $150 is all a small business needs to make a good local presence and be found by local residents searching for their business. If you need more to include shopping websites we can do that also, but based on complexity I will ask for more money if necessary.
