For the most straightforward projects, –you'll be choosing a standard web site package. A specific number of pages, standard layouts, and (potentially) a simple e-commerce system. In these cases, there isn't much customization or back end development. These projects may include fixed costs for additional pages or interactive features.  •For medium-complexity projects,  the design firm will provide an estimate based on an initial interview. We’ll list the expected amount of hours required for design, image production, development, testing, and maintenance, along with the cost per hour for each task. You'll be billed for the actual amount of web development work. It will be expressed in our contract that we will notify you when it comes to our attention that extra hours will be required before we begin additional work should the price exceed the estimate by a certain amount.

•

For beginners or smaller advertising only requirements,  we have web site "packages." starting as low as $279 for a 4 to 6 page web site. If your site just needs to inform people of your hours and location, then that's probably enough. –The same basic type of site package with a customized design will usually come to around $700 to $1400. In most cases, the packages are just a starting point:  –We will provide a detailed proposal that itemizes various costs like additional pages or extra image work.

 

 

•For the most involved projects, –there is typically an extra step involved. After we agree to the initial estimate, we will work with you to create a much more detailed requirements document. It will go into the specifics of how the site will work. This document is important for larger web projects to make sure that both parties agree on what is being delivered - it helps reduce miscommunication later. You'll have to pay for the developer's time to create this document but it's well worth it

High Complexity Website Development projects are usually priced on an hourly basis, because the amount of work it will take to complete them is harder to judge. This can range from $25/hour for basic HTML production to $140/hour for high-end development work. It's a huge range, but the fees are reflective of a vendors' expertise and specialties. However, a medium-sized web site with a completely customized design, content management tool, and robust features and interactivity can easily cost $3,000 to $10,000, and up to $50,000 for large or very complex applications.  for large web development projects.
