Website Design Prices and Rates
The most frequently asked question is, 'how much will a website cost'? But comparing prices and rates for website design is not like hiring a plumber to change a washer; the service and price will vary. Some web designers will offer you one design, take it or leave it, like it or lump it. Some prices may seem cheap but when looking closely at the plans, the price of website design turns out to be quite expensive. Worse still, there are differing standards in website design and although a website may look the same, the programming will vary and some websites may not render at all in browsers other than internet explorer and websites will be not be ranked well on search engines for terms that they should do well on, eg. company name and products.

Comparing prices and service
Comparing the prices and rates of different web design companies can be misleading and the finished product will vary considerably. Just as important as not paying too much, is getting a professional service and being able to trust that the website developer will work with you as a trusted business partner, not just a vendor wanting to make a quick sale.
An example of how we differ from other web design companies is that all our static HTML websites are XHTML compliant (on completion of project) and we ensure that proper title tags, metatags and keywords are inserted in the code. Many web designers do not do this because it takes longer to do. Not spending the time and effort, ensuring that the code is done right means that your site will not appear on search results, even on basic searches like searching for your company name.
Our prices are extremely competitive and we believe that customers should get value for money.
