Building a website these days can be done by anyone who can flip a switch and turn on a computer. There are many website builder programs out there that use drag-and-drop. Technology has made it so that you can build a website if you click a mouse button. But do you know what you are doing? Several components go into building a website, and without the guidance of a professional, your site could be inadvertently missing out on thousands of qualified leads every year.
Hiring a web designer to build your online presence is something you should consider whether you are a large corporation or a small mom-and-pop shop. A web designer can build in all the bells and whistles you need to create a professional and trustworthy environment for your customers. They can take you from start to finish in the process, from helping you purchase your domain name to setting your site up for long-term SEO success.
The costs involved in building a website can be as low as a few hundred dollars (not recommended), upward to a few thousand dollars. What you want built into your web page will determine how much you need to spend. Let’s look at what costs are involved in having a web designer build your site, so you can make an informed decision when the time comes.
Depending on the experience level of the web designer the project package cost will vary. Costs are going to be based on what type of website project you are planning and how expansive the scope is, as well as the complexity of the integrations and features.
For front-end web development projects such as putting in a new, custom design, you are looking at a less expensive project. If you are looking at building a new website from the ground up or adding on some back-end features, costs will likely be higher. Projects added to the back-end might include:
Some website features may cost a little more because of their complexity and the work involved to build in and implement them, such as integrating a forms submission section, or a full-functioning bulletin board system (BBS). You might intend to install all of the above or a variation of these options. The size of your website is also determined by the number of pages you have, which may impact the project’s price.
Not every website owner will want the same things. There is no cookie-cutter approach to web design. If your current website is a total disaster, it’s going to take your web designer more time to fix the problem than if you just need some minor changes.
Before any work is done, your web designer will meet with you to find out exactly what you need for your site, let you know how complex your request is and how they plan to achieve your goals, an estimate of how long the project will take, and what the estimated cost will be.
If you start from scratch and need social media, content creation, marketing, and SEO, you are going to want to find a full-service website developer. Not all web designers have the same set of skills, and some agencies might not be able to do all the complex tasks you require under one roof. These additional services incur additional costs:
