How much should it cost to hire a web designer?

Hi. While there is a general standard for web design costs, and an overall average, they can still be quite variable. For someone who owns a small business and is looking to create a website, it can be a shot in the dark when budgeting for it. Before looking into exact numbers, let’s first look into what’s all included when you’re working with a web designer. Websites are often vastly underestimated in price because of the many pre-built themes and “do-it-yourself” options out there. These can be great for anyone trying to get any sort of web presence up… until you realize you have a website that looks like thousands of other websites in your same industry, also have limited options, and most of the time — you won’t have best built site from a technical standpoint either! what does a website crafted from a web designer include? •Your own design, crafted for your own brand’s benefit. •Coded by hand by a real person, not an “app”. This allows for far more efficient code, less error, and better compatibility for your visitors. •Code that is SEO (Search Engine Optimization) friendly. •A website that has a great user experience based on professional know-how, so you keep and win over more customers. •Expertise on what works and what doesn’t in websites, and in business on the web. •Consultation, education, and a helping hand when it comes to your business’s web presence. In the end, you’re not only paying for someone to “throw together a website for you.” You’re paying for expertise and guidance, and a great online experience for your customers, subscribers, and visitors. When you hire a web designer, they’ll know what works for you business website and what doesn’t. They’ll design to compliment your brand, increase your conversions, and create an easy experience for both you and your visitors. If you don’t want the expertise included, then you can still easily throw something together yourself with an online website builder. As you may have guessed, different types of websites, and various services, may cost differently because the extent of work involved will change. A very simple portfolio with little need for consultation may run under $500, while large corporate sites may be thousands of dollars. Additionally, freelancers or agencies with varying experience and backgrounds will offer different prices as well. You’ll pay more for someone what knows what they’re doing, with more years of experience. You can pay less by hiring your kid cousin, or perhaps someone who’s just starting out, but you may come out with a less than quality website. I wish you the best, good luck.

If you can find a friend whose relative, mate, son, whatever happens to be a computer whiz, It could be anywhere from $0 to a few hundred. It all depends on the circumstance. If you go the professional route, check out sites like Angie's List or the Better Business Bureau to make sure they know what they're doing. Also ask for references of people who have used their service. There's so much phony, rip-off crap going on around the Internet. Make sure it's a one time charge, without some link you have to separately access to find out about additional charges. I think asking for references is the smartest move. Don't give any financial info (credit card #) until the job is done and you're happy. If they don't like it, say bye bye.

I am a web designer and it just depends on how much you want done. if you send me an email at [email protected] I can talk to you and give you a quote.

they can make big bucks, maybe you have a nephew or niece that would do you it as a favor, on the cheap? too many variables depend on your requirements. never have heard of it.
