Website Design Prices and Rates
Website design first begins with the design of a homepage template. You can either choose from one of thousands of do-it-yourself website builder templates and build your own website or hire the skills of a website developer to build a custom template for your company. Do it yourself websites are free with advanced and premium web hosting plans and require no knowledge of HTML. They can be customized but like all software have limitations.
A custom website is built using your company logo, images, files, corporate colours, and content. Our custom websites do not require a deposit and payment is made at the completion of the project, so you will know exactly what you are paying for and there is no risk of paying a 50% deposit and waiting weeks or months to see any progress. However, without a draft of your content, or a link to a similar website that you want to develop, it is not possible to give you a fixed price quote.
Whether you are wanting a HTML website or Content Management System, the process of website development, always starts with creating a custom template.

The most frequently asked question is, 'how much will a website cost'? The cost of website development can vary from free to tens of thousands of dollars. Paying more does not necessarily mean that you will get a better website.
It is important to determine your goals and find a developer that will work with you to achieve those goals. There are many aspects of website development from design, copywriting to coding and SEO and a good website takes time to create and plan. If it is your first website, you are best starting off with a draft of all the content that needs to be included in your site and organizing that into webpages or site map. Looking around at other websites can give you ideas about how best to structure your site.

Comparing prices and serviceBe aware that website design is not like hiring a plumber to change a washer; the service will vary considerably. Some web designers use programs like Dreamweaver to design your website, while others will hand code your website in standards compliant HTML. The end result is very different.
Some designers will happily take your 50% deposit and build you a website that they think will be right for your business (or will look good in their portfolio) and you can take it or leave it, like it or lump it.
We custom design your website to your requirements and we do NOT require a deposit and customers only pay us, at the completion of the project, when they are 100% satisfied.
