Bespoke Web Design Packages

I charge £45 per hour, £290 per day for my web services including freelance work.

Most small sites start at around 4 – 10 pages so that they contain plenty of information for your visitors and keywords for the search engines. A typical website design and build takes 4 days. You will also be entitled to an hour a month of changes for the first 3 months free of charge which easily covers any minor amendments you might need.

If you require a content management system build into your site, this will take a day, whether it is from a new or existing site. This means you will have access to change content as and when required through your browser.

I ask for a deposit of 50% of the total amount, once received I will then begin work on your website. The remainder is due once the project has been completed and your site is up and running.

Prices may vary depending on the size of the project and if you require additional work such as an online shop, blog, e-newsletter or search engine optimisation advice. Please contact me to discuss your requirements and receive an accurate quote of price and time scale.

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS

Web design is a service, not a product
Looking at your website build as a service will help you understand why it is difficult to put a single price to it.

There is a lot of planning and detail involved
Price will depend on the level of detail and time spent on various features.

Quotes are subjective
Agencies or even some freelance developer could  potentially give you a quote from £1,000 all the way up to £50,000 for the same project requirements.

You can pay for your website build in more than one way
For example, you can go with a fixed bid or hourly payments. With fixed bid, you might pay a one-off price of £6,000. With hourly payments, you could pay someone £50 an hour while they work on your website.

Standards vary from agency to agency
Companies differ in the way they go about building your website. The absence of uniformity in standards will affect pricing.

About WordPress?
People often ask how much it costs to build a website using WordPress. WordPress is the most popular CMS in the world, powering over 40% of the entire web.
As the size and complexity of your WordPress site increases, so does the price. Expect to pay around £1000 a year for a mid-range WordPress site, with a paid theme and useful plugins.
A unique and custom-built WordPress site will require extensive work from a developer – costs for this can be in the region of £4,000 – £10,000 depending on the design.
