How Much Does A Web Designer Charge?

How much could I charge as a web designer just starting out?

  • Hello, I have been learning web and graphic design as a hobby for about 2 years now. I've learned much about design in general and now - finding myself currently unemployed - ...show more

  • Answer:

    $100-$200 seems a bit on the low side (though this may be because I'm in the UK and the dollar is low against the pound at the moment!) I'm tentatively thinking of asking: £149-£199 (about $300-$400) for a 3-5 page custom designed site, including: - Cost of hosting - Domain name (.co.uk or .com) for 24 months - Installation of Google Analytics - Submission to search engines - Copywriting/editing to optimise content for the web - Sourcing images - (Fairly simple) page design - Monthly updates for 12 months Same stuff for just a single page at £99. Five to ten pages, £249-£299. Does that sound a reasonable price scheme to start out at? I'm aiming at very small businesses (Bed and Breakfasts, pubs, etc) and individuals (particularly writers).

You don't mention what country/state your are in, but a good way to judge the going wage is to look at what auto mechanics charge. For example if your local mechanic charges $75/hours USD, and he is an average mechanic, if you provide average web design service (which you may as you are just starting) charge $75/hr. Adjust your rate as you see fit but it is a good baseline. Also, you may get more work by doing gigs at a set price, consider talking with the client to negotiate a price that works for you. I offer 5 page websites for $500 in Ohio, and would consider myself an average level designer
