Web Development Pricing

Web development pricing is tricky because there are so many factors that will affect the final cost. Compare it to buying a car. When you walk into a dealership, you have a general idea of how much you intend to invest in your purchase. Depending on how much you have to invest will effect what you buy.

What’s Your Budget?

Your web design and development budget is a major factor in what the final price will be. You need to share this up front.

Features

Once your budget is defined, you need to communicate features and functionality that needs to be coded.

At this point, if your budget does not match the features that you want included we need to separate your feature list in to “haves” and “wants”. Sometime the “wants” end up getting excluded, or the project may be broken out into phases to plan adding features over a period of time.

In all the years of coding website, I don’t think two projects have ever come in at the same rate. I have never cloned a website and given 2 clients the exact same thing with just different content. Coding a website just doesn’t work like that.

There is no simple rate scale to build a website since every website project is unique and everyone’s budget is different.

There are many ways approach building a website. I ask a lot of questions up front to be able work within a client’s budget to offer a solution for what they can afford.

If you can not provide a budget for me, I most likely take the time to write up a proposal for you. It’s a guessing game for me what you think is a “good number”. I want to create a website that works within your means, not provide you with the cheapest (or most expensive) option possible.
