Expert website design doesn't have to be expensive--VT2000 Technical Services

VT2000 Pricing

I will always give you a firm quote for the job. That will be the price you will pay when the work is done. The only deviation from this would be if the job were a sizeable one, requiring several weeks of time from start to finish. I would then ask for some portion of the final bill up front. Obviously, if we start off designing a web site based on a firm quote, and you decide that you want to add a significant number of new images or pages, I will give you an estimate for those additions. If you decide that you also want a logo done for your business, that will simply be treated like another job.

You might like to know that if you don't have a logo and you also want a web site, it will be much cheaper for you to combine the two jobs.

All work is based on the $30 per hour scale. I realize this is quite a small amount. There are several reasons for this:

I love the work.
I recognize that I am serving artists, sole-proprietors, and small businesses without slush funds!

I know you would like some "real" figures to work with. I would say that a five- or six-page web site design, using your digital images, would run between $250 and $400. That would include working with you on the copy, editing, checking, site banner, menus, links, image optimization and sizing, and upload to the web. It would also include a contact form which would allow visitors to get in touch directly from your web site. It assumes that you are on call during the design time and respond to emails and phone calls promptly.

There would be one meeting (in-person or by phone) for initial discussion of your business and what you want done. After that you would get all needed materials to me and I would go to work.

You do need to know that while $250 to $400 pays for only 8 to 16 hours of work, there will be more hours than that spent on your site. That is the nature of the beast called graphic design. Remember that the work I do for you also performs a kind of advertisement for VT2000. So, I'm not just working to satisfy you; I am also working to satisfy myself and I have exceedingly high standards.

Design work for a logo would, I expect, run somewhere between $150 and $500. The wide area here is because folks often want to do many things with their logos. If you only want a logo set for a web banner and for a business card, you can plan on roughly $150-$200.

If you combine logo design with a web site, you can figure to save about $50.
