How Much is a Typical Website Design?

Determining how much a website design should cost can be trivial. Most web design firms do not necessarily post their prices online as each development could vary from design to design. Each client requirements are quite different from each other and this article will provide some guideline on CUSTOM web design costs.

Our Web Design and Marketing team worked together to collect multiple quotes from different web design firms within the US to establish some baseline. They were able to gather up quotes from freelance web designers, small web design firms, and large established firms on different types of web design projects.

With the received quotes from multiple vendors, it was important for the team to examine each of the components that goes into determining how much a web site should cost. On average, the following cost can be applied to estimating the development of a web site:

 

Informational or Small Business Web Site Cost:

8 to 15 Web pages
3 Custom graphics outside the template
Paid Stock photos
Rotating flash banner or JQuery
Web forms sending to email accounts
Project duration: 15 to 20 days

Web site cost range: $1,500 to $4,000

 

Corporate (100 or more employees) with CMS Web Site Cost:
  • 25 to 50Web pages
  • Heavy use of flash
  • High quality design work on all Web pages
  • Content management system (employees can manage their own website)
  • Extra components:  Intranet, Calendars, web site search

Project duration: 60 to 90 days

  • Interactivity with web site visitor
  • Enterprise database (MS SQL Server or MySQL)

Project duration: 90 to 180 days

Web site cost range: $6,000 to $35,000

 

Based on the quotations we received, the cost of a web site can vary greatly depending upon the site’s features, add-ons and plug-ins, aesthetic qualities, and the design firm, advertising agency, or freelancer creating the website. While the cost of a basic web site has dropped, the need for more interactivity has helped hold steady the price of a high-end, competitive Web design.

If you are considering a new or upgraded web site, we recommend that you view the portfolios of several Web design firms and inquire about their business establishment.
