Yup, that’s the question, isn’t it? How much is my web design going to cost?
It all really depends on what type of website you want to have. There are large web applications (actual software) that can run into six and seven figures. That’s right, websites that cost millions to build. But that’s on the extreme end and usually applies to large web applications. On the other end of the spectrum are cheap, templated solutions (out of the box) that start at a few hundred dollars. Quite a big difference, right?
It’s kind of like buying a car. You know you can buy a new economy car for around $10k, maybe less if you shop around for a good deal. But it may not be exactly the car you want. Just a machine to get you from point A to point B. Nothing fancy, just a workhorse to get you where you want to go.
On the other hand, you may want a car that does a little more. Perhaps a little more comfort? Maybe some leather seats and a mahogany dash? Power windows and power breaks? Airbags? All of those things are going to run you more than the base economy model. If you add a namebrand to the mix, the price continues to go up. In fact, there are so many different factors when buying a new car that you can spend more than ten times what that base economy model cost.
The same can be said about web design and building a new website. Custom design takes time and that time comes at a cost. Ultimately the time involved in building a new website is the main factor in it’s overall cost. Normally averaging between $45 and $75 per hour, depending on the company you contract. You can go with an offshore (India or Eastern Europe) solution for even less sometimes, but you might not get the quality you are looking for there. Often resulting in returning to an onshore developer, in actuality paying twice to get the same job done.
So back to our car buying analogy… What it comes down to when buying a car and developing a website is your budget. You obviously want the most you can get for your dollar, both with your new car and with your new website, but you also want as much quality as you can get. This means you need to find a company that you can trust. A development team that can not only dial in a good price for your web design, but that can actually deliver a solid finished product in the end.
