How much is it going to cost me?

Affordable and Cheap is the answer.

In the web site design and development business the first question we are often asked is "how much is this gonna cost me?" Understandably most people have no clue what the standard rate for graphic design is. Furthermore, they have little knowledge of what's involved in developing a professional web site. Nonetheless, there is an industry standard by which many developers gauge their pricing. Here at Creative Business Systems, we have done extensive research to determine current market value for our product. Of course, fair market value is based on averages after surveying thousands of web site developers. The results of this research is reported on in the most popular and reputable web developers magazine, EZINE.com. A link to this online source is:

If you prefer not to visit the site, I have copied an excerpt from the magazine below. The charges may appear to be exorbitant, but this is what the big companies actually pay to compete in the marketplace. Our objective is to make web sites more affordable, especially for the small business owner.

• Web site designing costs can be broken down depending on the type of site, wherein sites are classified as low end, mid range and high-end sites. A low end site offers 2-4 pages of content and uses existing graphical themes or stock graphics. The designing package does not provide animation or database interaction features. The standard rates of low-end sites range from $500 - $2000. On the other hand a mid range web site costs approximately $2000 - $ 5000. The web site includes 5-7 pages of content out of which some is developed. In addition, the designer provides 2-4 original graphics and a standard layout with some customization. Animation includes Java Script mouse over changes but data interactions are not provided. A high-end web site involves a high cost and the standards range from $5000 - $10,000. A designer provides 12 or more pages of content, or even contents that are pragmatically / dynamically generated. The design has a unique layout and extensive graphics with navigation schemes. The animation is often done in JavaScript, Animated GIFs, Dynamic HTML, and Flash. In addition, designers also provide SQL or Flat File database interaction. • The services of most graphic designers can also be calculated in hours. For instance the standard rates for basic graphic design are approximately $ 80 per hour, for custom graphic design $160 per hour, for 3-D graphic design $250 per hour, and for prepress correction and graphic adjustments $ 80 per hour. Such types of calculation have greatly simplified the rate and cost problems of designing projects, as the designer is getting paid rationally if a certain project requires more time. Similarly, a client can give work in contracts that are based on hours.
