Pricing

Prices

A website involves setup, construction and revision with their costs. These costs could depend on how much information you can provide and how much page content you expect me to provide. There will be further costs for out-of-scope work not initially agreed on.

Websites can be simple or complex. Website pages that involve graphics, information content and a simple contact form cost less than those with complex code. Websites that have layers of authorised access, databases, booking systems, shopping carts and payment by credit cards require a different level of complexity and care.

The costs associated with the initial setup stage come mainly from:

  • client contact
  • concept development with sketches or wireframes, layout, design and site navigation
  • artwork and images

The construction stage consists of:

  • coding the website using HTML, CSS, PHP, MySQL and Javascript
  • content text and images
  • basic search engine optimisation

The revision stage consists of:

  • revision
  • acceptance
  • installation

The hourly cost is $50, including additional work carried out at your request. These charges would be for:

  • Design meetings, travelling
  • Additional wireframing or sketches
  • Search engine registration with Google, Bing and Yahoo
  • Modifications to images and the additional editing of textual content
  • Searches for and the purchase of additional photographic stock images
  • the re-creation of images or graphics where the original material is not suitable for website publication
  • the manual entry of text from images or faxes
  • further consultations, meetings, phone calls and emails
  • changes to design and layout
  • additional work outside the agreed scope of the project
  • training
  • Registration of a domain name ($30)
  • Website hosting ($100pa)
  • Website maintenance

Websites have, as part of the package, maintenance for one year after the date of installation. Maintenance
includes minor revisions of text such as contact details, grammar and spelling and the fixing of any
layout issues. If you host your website with me, then minor maintenance lasts the life of the hosting.

Cost Estimates

A simple website could cost:

  • $30 for a domain name.
  • $100 for hosting.
  • $400 for the first page.
  • $100 for each additional page (such as an About or Services page).

This estimate applies as long as you are well prepared (see the Client Checklist) and could be cheaper or more expensive depending on what is required.

Content management systems:

  • $300 to install a WordPress website with a StudioPress theme and iThemes Backup.
  • $200 to install a WordPress website with iThemes security and a theme supplied by you.
  • $30 for WordPress iThemes Backup.
  • $150 for a basic content management system.
  • $50 per hour for theme modification, additional modules and training.

For refurbishing or reconstructing a website:

  • $200 for a simple website facelift.
  • $500 for a more complex facelift.

WordPress websites come with basic (not all) security from iThemes Security. More complex systems require a quote.
