How Much Will it Cost?
Every project often requires unique expertise and resources. Of course, in the interest of openness and transparency, we want to give you an idea of the costs involved from start to finish.
Right from the get-go, before we even discuss dollar amounts, we have to mention the fact that we're probably not going to be the lowest bidder for your project. If you just want to get your site out the door for the lowest price without regard for quality, you should probably look elsewhere. We're passionate about creating the most unique and superb solution for you and we take the time to do things the right way. If you are looking for dependable web design services, in time and within budget, you've come to the right place and hopefully we can work together.
So how much will it cost to do something like you have in mind?
Here
are some ballpark price ranges.
A Simple, Typical Project
In the case of a simple redesign, a client comes to us with an existing site that needs to be revamped for one reason or another. The content will mostly stay as is, although it may need to be reorganized a bit. Let's assume that the client also wants a content management system so that they can maintain the site on their own moving forward. How much will something like this cost? Let's break it down.
- Project Management, meetings, and correspondence over a 2-week period: 10 hours
- Competitive analysis, site structure, wireframes, etc.: 10 hours
- Visual Design (design of template): 10 hours
- Page Coding (turning designs into HTML and CSS): 20 hours
- QA and testing: 3 hours
That's a total of 53 hours spread over a month period. At our standard $85/hour, you're looking at roughly $4505 for a simple redesign. A site with a simple ecommerce system is probably in the same ballpark.
Of course, every estimate is customized for a given project, and cost may vary greatly depending on your specific needs.
Custom Application Project
As you can imagine, building a custom application from the ground up is a bit complicated. If you want to build your own shopping cart or social network, for example, you're looking at anywhere from $8,000 on up, depending on the scope of the project.
Email Marketing | PPC Campaigns | SEO
If you want to get into email marketing, we’ll design and code a template for you and set it up in our email marketing service of choice for $800.
If you want us to set up and manage a pay-per-click advertising campaign, there will be plenty of research and setup time as well as ongoing monitoring. It typically costs around $2,000 to get up and running and then another $1,000 a month to manage the campaign, depending upon the size and complexity.
If you would like to rank better in search engines, we can do some research on your current situation and put a plan together to improve it. If you're hearing all the buzz about social media marketing and you want to jump on the bandwagon, we can help there as well. Again, you're looking at about $1,000 to start.
Copywriting and other sorts of consulting are billed hourly. For long term retainers, we do offer significant discounts.
