Web Design Pricing Guide
A few details on how we price our projects
It's fairly difficult to give ballpark estimates about how much a web design project will cost without extensive knowledge of the project's scope. Each web design project is different, each client is different, and as such each deems a different approach.
In redesigning a website there are several pricing variables to consider (CMS complexity, functionality needs, content mitigation responsibilities, etc). However, we do understand the need for a bottom line pricing guide. When a client comes to us with an existing website that needs to be revamped for one reason or another, we use this basic guideline as our starting point.
- Research and Information Architecture (competitive analysis, site structure, wireframes): 25 hours
- Visual Design (one design direction and revisions): 30 hours
- Page Coding (turning designs into HTML and CSS): 25 hours
- Implimentation of a simple Content Management System setup: 40 hours
- QA and testing: 10 hours
That's a total of 130 hours over a 8-10 week timeframe. At our standard rate of $100/hour, you're looking at roughly $13,000 for a full website redesign and a content management system. A site with a simple ecommerce system is probably in the same ballpark. If you have your own in-house development team and only need website design it'll probably be around half that price.
Every website proposal we develop is tailored to the needs of our clients and pricing can vary from project to project.
