Pricing a Website

The exact price of a website development project is tough to determine.  Each project is different, and has unique challenges and goals specific to that particular website.  However, we can of course give you a basic idea of what to expect in your budget and what this money is paying for.

Creating Value for YOU

The concept of value is extremely important in website design and development. A company that does not stay up to date with technology and the latest efficient development resources will negatively affect their clients return on investment.  We are aware of this fact and use all the latest tools and knowledge to constantly improve our own processes.  We can then cut costs across the board and share that value with our clients.

The Cost of a Typical Project

Our website budgets are driven almost entirely by man hours. For example, on a typical business website you could expect the following items:

• Planning meetings, code workflow design, direct client communication = 15 hours
• Wireframing, custom graphic design, graphic revisions, icon and image sets = 40 hours
• Code writing, application customization, additional programming = 65 hours
• Quality assurance, testing, administration training = 25 hours

This project would total about 145 billable man hours, not including any server or hardware costs.  Now, lets say our project manager finds a commercial component that can eliminate 20 hours of programming time from the budget. We pass this $1,000 savings on to you, through our completely transparent development process. Your website is hosted on YOUR server, and the code is available at all times once the project is delivered.

Our goal is to open the process up so that our clients are completely comfortable with the value they are receiving.  This is extremely important in our industry because of the lack of understanding in general associated with technology.
