Design Rates and Fees
Website Design and Development Rates
The cost of the website is based on the estimated time it will take to develop, design and implement your website based on the information you provided to me. On average it takes 20 hours (20 hours x $70 = $1,400) to develop the typical 5-10 static page web site.
The following are some of the most common items that go into web design and site development.
- hosting
- domain registration
- domain transfer
- forms
- content revisions
- custom logo design
- placement of additional images or photos
- creation of gallery pages for photos
- photo scanning or digital photography
- copy editing/writing
- custom scripting
- SSL certificate
- shopping carts
- e-commerce
- blogs
- content management systems (CMS)
- bulletin boards
- database design and/or integration
- Flash/animation
- multimedia integration
- newsletters
- email subscriptions
- mailing lists
- licensing fees for artwork (royalty free or rights managed)
- software requested by the client or required for the web site
Important Note: It is possible that your current budget will not allow for all of the bells and whistles. However, if I know what the final outcome of the website is it can be planned for and when you have the additional funds those items can be easily incorporated. Your website can be developed in phases based on your budget.

My Thoughts on E-commerce:
To me it is always less costly in the long term to have your own website selling your products versus affiliating with a website that sells products from a wide variety of merchants. By having your own website it builds your business identity and help you build a close customer relationship.
