You will find a wide range when it comes to web designer prices because there are so many options that affect it. Such as the skill of the designers working on your project and what options you have requested.
So let’s start at the beginning and look at the 2 main ways website designers price their work.
A One Off Website Design Fee
This is where you pay a one off fee to have your website designed. You will still have to pay for you website hosting annually, however, the design work will only be paid for once.
This can either be flat rate price agreed at the start of your website or an hourly rate payable until the project is complete.
The advantage of the agreed flat rate fee is that it gives you a firm budget and you will not have to pay extra for amendments and changes to your designers work. The downside is that you will have to agree a fixed job specification at the start of the project and stick to it – otherwise the price will change.
Rent Your Website
This is where you never actually own the design of your website. Instead you pay a monthly fee to use it. It is very common on DIY website building sites.
Long term it will cost you more that a one off fee website. This is because you have to keep paying month in and month out and they tend not to perform as well as website that you own outright.
For the purposes of this article I am going to assume that you want a website designer to build your website rather than a monthly rental DIY project.
Web Designer Prices
The biggest factors determining your web designer prices is going to be the size and creativity that goes into it.
For example, is your designer going to use a standard pre-designed template and just personalise it for your business? Or, is your website designer going to create a bespoke one off site from scratch for you?
This is an important decision and must be thought over carefully. This is because whilst templates are cheaper, they tend not to perform as well as bespoke builds. What is more, you may come across similar businesses to your using the same template design.
Other Factors That Affect Web Designer prices
- Ecommerce or non Ecommerce?
- The number of pages?
