I've been getting a lot of questions on pricing from my last post about web design packages.
Let me break it down or simplify it.
Whether it is a new website or a redesign of an existing one, it needs to be treated as an investment. You're hiring me to help brand your business and help grow your name.
Nothing is free, nor cheap these days. The pricing is one thing above the competition - FAIR.
Most domain names and hosting cost roughly anywhere from $250-750 PER YEAR!
Yes, you can get an easy domain name for $20 to $50, but together with the extra hosting plan it's included and you don't have to worry about it. You typically get a lot of great useful things on the better upgraded hosting options.
A hosting plan is optimal to how well your website performs. Not just by design, but functionality and add-ons that make you stand out. This is usually not something you can avoid, unless you want ads and a less appealing look. Not to say this can't be done, but remember it's better to invest now and the right way, the first time around.
The design of a layout and the website itself takes weeks and weeks. Between the concept of it all, to ongoing communication between the designer and the client. Content Writing, SEO tools to help push the key words to the targeted audience and so much more. This alone can be the biggest cost, depending on what the customer's budget is and what the request and scope of work is.
Additional services such as social media management and more can get pricy. If you ever look up pricing for any of it, you will know what I mean.
Overall - The Design Team wants to work with you not against you! Let's work together, and help stop relying on the bully's out there who just want your money.
