Website Pricing
Website design can range from R2,500 – R60,000 ($150 – $3,000) depending on your budget, goals, and what the site needs to do.
Most of my small business clients choose a budget between R8,000 and R15,000 ($400–$800), but it can go much higher if your site includes a lot of content, advanced features, or an online shop with many products.
It’s a bit like asking, “How much does a house cost?” It depends on the size, the finishes, and what you need it to do. I’ll work with your budget and give you the best possible value, without compromising on quality or clarity.
Why Custom Pricing?
Many web designers offer fixed or per-page pricing, which might initially seem simpler but often results in a one-size-fits-all solution that fails to address specific business objectives. My pricing is tailored to your unique needs, ensuring that you invest in functionalities that provide genuine value. This approach not only matches your budget more accurately but also prevents future costs that can arise from inflexible, generic packages.
Completing my website brief and being upfront about your budget is crucial. This transparency allows me to adjust features, functionality, layout, and design to align perfectly with your financial boundaries while still delivering a product that meets your needs.
A variety of factors influence the cost of a website:
Website Size & Scope
Just as homes range from cozy apartments to expansive estates, websites can vary from basic single-page designs to extensive multi-page platforms. The number of pages and their content complexity directly impact the project’s timeline and cost.
Functionality
Features such as interactive maps, custom contact forms, and membership portals not only enhance user engagement but also influence the development complexity and pricing.
Design Approach
Choose between a streamlined, template-based design for efficiency and cost savings, or a fully customized design that uniquely elevates your brand. Each option significantly impacts the aesthetic and financial aspects of the project.
