A
static brochure-type website takes in the region of 2 -3 weeks to develop from start to final upload, depending on the amount of pages and detail of the design involved.
Usually we quote by the hour, but we find that more and more clients want a definite bottom line figure to work from.
So, we price our web design as per below, and if the need arises (the client may want to add or omit information), we adjust the price accordingly as the project is developed (obviously our clients and ourselves will always be in agreement on any pricing changes and we keep our clients updated timeously as to the development). Generally, the prices below are what we quote, and invoice for at the end of the day.
Clients often
don’t realize that
a basic 6-page
website
may end up being 12-pages,
because of overlooking
sub-pages/articles/etc.
that need to be
accessible
from
the main pages.
And in the same
breath, a client
may want a
12-page website,
but ends up only
having enough
content for
6-pages. |
The first and biggest step is establishing the
"look & feel" which would take us in the region of 8-16 hours to develop. For this we charge a flat rate of
R 2 000.00.
Once you are 100% happy with the design concept, the rest of the site should fall into place fairly quickly. You will need to provide content for each page, logos, photographs (in electronic format)
and anything else you wish to publish. We will guide you in this regard.
We normally start with the homepage design and send a preview for approval and/or tweaking before tackling the rest of the site. From here on we charge
R 200.00 per page for the design & development (including the home page).
Once completed and live, it is advisable to have the site
analysed & optimised for search engines and submitted to the major search engines and web directories in SA. This will ensure that your website is listed on local & international search engines and online directories so people can find your website. There is an extra cost involved for the optimization of
R 800.00.
Maintaining and updating your website, i.e. adding new pages, publishing new photos or changing existing photos, updating content, etc. carries a charge of
per hour – which we can negotiate at the necessary time.
