Typical Fees for Web Design Services

Type of Assignment

I charge PER PROJECT wherever possible, however, the accuracy depends in large part on how "together" you are with text and image preparedness, etc.  Some things, such as custom sites, may be impossible to predict.  However, I do provide frequent updates throughout the web creation process.

We can discuss a working budget and then if we get too close to the edge we'll make some compromises to get it done as close to budget as possible.  The best way to stay on budget is to be crystal clear in what you want and not piddle your budgeted hours away with endless miniscule changes.

My Fee

Please note fees are subject to change at any time.

Custom Web Design

You pick the colors, explain the general layout, etc.  This is what you'd choose if you did see any sample sites you liked or if you had a business logo you wanted to build the site around.

It pays to be 100% ready to go with your text, images you want to use, item descriptions, prices, etc.  If you're half-assed ready and have to change stuff later, it eats up minutes.  Minutes cost money and can put you over budget.

$ priced hourly

Simple Graphic Design

What I can't do myself, I farm out to two other graphic designers.  Between the 3 of us, we should be able to come up with something you like.

$ priced hourly

Shopping Cart

This is not a fee for the shopping cart itself, but for setting up whatever shopping cart you choose and populating it with your items, images, prices, and product descriptions.

I recommend PayPal's shopping cart because it's free and popular enough that buyers trust it.  Read the information at PayPal about the costs associated with use.  It's nominal and taken out of orders - in other words, there is no monthly cost for it.  You only pay it if you make a sale and the cost is small.

$ priced hourly

Pre-Designed Web Page (from Sample Pages)

Basic page set up prepped for dropping in text, etc.  It pays to be 100% ready to go with your text, images you want to use, item descriptions, prices, etc.  If you're half-assed ready and have to change stuff later, it eats up minutes.  Minutes cost money and can put you over budget.

$125 per page

If standard per page time allotment is exceeded, additional hours are billed at the hourly rate (rounded to nearest quarter hour).

Instruction

Learn to maintain your site while I build it.  You can choose MS Front Page, NVU, or Dreamweaver.  If you haven't done any web design before, I recommend Front Page or NVU.
