Web Design Pricing
Web design prices, web design rates and web development costs can vary between providers and many people looking to have a website designed are confused as to what to look for.
If looking at quotes from two or more companies, be careful that you are comparing the same thing. There are an infinite number of ways to develop a website and different companies structure their pricing in different ways.
Of course if you are looking for a website, you want to get good value. Website design price is often structured around the time it takes an experienced designer to build something that will meet your goals and expectations.
We have fixed prices for web design, and always provide a quote before going ahead with work. We base a quote around a consultation with you on what is required. If you decide to add extra features, or expand the website, that is never a problem and we can provide additional web design at a daily or hourly rate. We like to be fully transparent and up front about our fees and consider them to be excellent value.
We have over 12 years of experience developing websites and can offer so much more than a simple installation of a template. Many web design companies are not able to grow with you when you require additional features and technical advice.
Great professional website design and search engine promotion takes a lot of time and experience. We try and keep our fees realistic and our website design prices as low as possible. Search engine promotion should be considered a marathon rather than a sprint. A short term plan is unrealistic today. Building a website in the right way is a good start, but this needs to be teamed with ongoing promotion and supported with great PR. Content creation is the best way to sustain a gradual and targeted climb for industry specific keywords today. We can help you with this and provide a service where we promote your site every month complete with full reporting.
Additional Costs During Development
- Logo Design: You may have a logo and we will make sure that your online presence reflects your brand. If you do not have a logo we can provide one for you.
- Content creation: You will usually need to provide copy text and images for your website. You are best placed to write about your business, but we can of course provide copy for you at an additional charge.
- Photography: Providing great visual references is an important factor in presenting your website. We can licence stock photography for you, or use photographs that you provide.
- Video Production: Video is a fantastic way to give confidence to your brand and engage an audience. Content such as video can also help you rank well in search engines as it attracts visitors and potentially links to your content. We can provide a cost effective video production service with professional camera people, broadcast standard editing and delivery to your website.
- Changing your mind: Part of the development process if formulating what you require, and sometimes this can mean changing what you think you need. It is our aim to establish this with you early on, and the most important thing should be developing a website that is what you need. If we develop a website significantly and then choose to go in a different direction under your instruction, we will need to charge a development fee for the time taken.
- Most of our work includes bespoke graphic design.
