Build A Website Or Have A Website Builder Do It For You?
Every web site is different, which typically makes it impossible to give a flat price for any particular site. This being the case, all web developers use different methods to determine the cost to Build Websites. We will describe some of the most common methods for web site pricing below.
There are four common types of web builder pricing used in the industry today.
- Hourly Rate
- Project Price
- Package Rates
- Per Page Cost
- Flat Rate
A very common way for web designers to charge is by the hour. Depending on the experience, location, and many other factors, the hourly rate can be anywhere from $8.00 (outsourced overseas) to $500.00 per hour (For a high-level consultant)! This is a huge difference but I have seen both and just about everything in between.The important thing is to make sure the web developer is worth the rate they charge. Always check with the designers past clients and remember – you really do “get what you pay for”.
Per Project Pricing –
Many web design firms will give you a set price to complete your project. Make sure you have a thorough and complete requirements list before you begin the project. A good design firm will break out each section with a list of features, specification and assumptions for each section of your website. Make sure you get it in writing so you both have clear expectations.
Package Rates –
Many web designers will have pre-made packages that are usually cheaper than a complete custom design website. The drawback with packages is that they are probably going to try and fit your business into a pre-made website that might not have all the bells and whistles a custom site has. Most designers will have a flat package rate then allow you to request customization at an additional charge.
