The most important thing to remember with costing web site design is that you should shop around because prices and quality of workman ship vary greatly. You should ask for the website addresses of previous work and judge the quality of work for yourself.<\/p>\n

In order to understand how web site design is costed it is useful to know the process of web design. An understanding of the web design process can also save you time, money and stress because you will know what the web designer expects from you at different times.<\/p>\n

The first things the designers will want to know is the main goal of the website, who its for, as well as any preferences you have for the visual layout of the website so that this can be implemented in the design. This information will allow the designers to create a site map. A site map is basically a map of the website showing the different components of the site and how they all link together.<\/p>\n

The next part of the process is to design the actual visual aspects of the site. You will have little interaction during this stage, and cost is pretty standard, so you should utilize your time to gather up all of the materials and information you will need for the final steps.<\/p>\n

After the visual aspects are complete you will be bringing it all together. During this stage the designers will need to implement you plan into the visual site, as well as put in any content that you want. During this stage there are often delays and additional costs so it is best, and cheapest, to prepare for it early. Remember, the more pages on your website the more this step will cost.<\/p>\n

The final stage in the web design process is to take you finished website and open it to the public. For most websites this is relatively simple and often takes a single half day to a few days to complete.<\/p>\n

There are a couple of other costs to keep in mind when shopping around, these are the ongoing prices of running a website. Most designers don’t include these costs in their quotes so be sure to ask. The costs mainly come from domain name registration, which is buying the address that you website will be at, and from hosting<\/a> the website. If you are unfamiliar with these it may be best to speak with your designer and have them recommend a service provider.<\/p>\n

Discuss your expectations for the website and a ball park budget with the designer. A professional web designer who has more experience will tell you if your expectations are feasible within the budget you have. If you have a larger budget then consider a competitive tendering process, though in all cases you should get price quotations in writing.<\/p>\n
