Basic Home/Web Page ............
$100.00 - $600.00
- use existing graphics (web ready)
- text supplied
- 1-2 pages
This is a “billboard” site for a small business. A little bit like a "print ad",
but on the internet. It’s still basically an advertisement, although there
may be a few web-specific abilities (e-mail button, links, etc.). Don't
expect a ton of traffic from a site such as this, unless the content is
primo. A lot of the higher end web design companies just don’t do these
sites. Many of the ISPs offer standard packages for these sites, which are
designed using a template and are nothing but the equivilant to an online
ad. Static Online Ads do not really draw people and we prefer you not waste
your money, therefore we advise highly against starting your web venture
this way. (You are better off putting your money into print
ads or yellow pages advertising.)
Intermediate Website ............
$750.00 - $2000.00
(Notice it says "Web site", and not "Web page")
- more content & custom design
- 2-3 graphics/page (navigational elements & logos)
- 3-5 pages
- submittable forms (for collecting addresses, names, info, etc.)
This is really a website and starts to expand in content and design. Fees go up not only because of amount of words (both programming and content), but also because a larger site has more specific design needs. Also, these sites start to bring in other aspects of web design, such as submittable forms. At this point, the custom-designed sites start to kick in, and cost proportionately higher because of design fees.
Advanced Website ............ $2000.00 - $10,000.00+
- over 5 pages
- custom graphics
- large content
- multimedia
- interactive content = programming
- online databasing = programming
- online ordering capabilities = programming
This is a huge category, thus the huge range of prices. In this category, we assume that all graphics are custom-designed, that there is a large amount of content, and that there is a need for interactive content, online ordering, or other advanced programming features.
Additional Costs (usually negotiated separately)
- Site Maintenance and Updates
- Extra Online Marketing (I include site registration with 8 search engines +100)
- Sample Contract & Terms can be viewed here.
