arrow OUR SERVICES... WHAT'S IT GONNA COST?

Web design is like most things in life, a case of you get what you pay for.

Web design is something that people realize is a valuable tool to represent your business. A visitor to a webpage will often make an assumption about your business- whether it be the service, the products, or your shop or building, based upon your website. Having an amateurly designed website can make people think that you may not be able to run an effective business. This is where we can help.

Design work does not have to be expensive. Good site design does not have to overwhelm the viewer with complicated media.

arrowUse Our "Website Needs Help" $199.00 Special

  • -Up to six redesigned pages of your choice: (index, about, services, products, hours, whatever you need)

arrow PRICING AND SERVICES
Websites can be very complex, ranging from a few pages to hundreds. Shopping carts. Drop menus. Flash media. You get the picture. As such, it is hard to quote a "package" when creating a website, because the requirements of a business will certainly vary depending upon the message or goods or services you are trying to offer. But we can help.

Basic design services $45/hr :: Custom Design Services $75.00/hr.

The $45/hr rate applies to most simple and/or repetitive tasks that will take an hour or more:

  • Placement and formatting of text content.
  • Copying and pasting content from one website to another, including a redesigned one.
  • Data entry.

The $75/hr rate applies for:

  • Programming and scripts.
  • Consultation.
  • Graphic design work/image/photoshop work
  • Web / usability / interface design.
  • Database work.
  • Search engine optimization (SEO).

Items normally charged at the $45/hr rate may be charged at the $75/hr rate if they are trivial. For example, formatting the content on just two pages would be charged at the higher rate. Third party fees (hosting, security certificates, merchant accounts, stock photos) are extra.


Why PER HOUR PRICING benefits you:

 

  1. You decide how 'refined', customized, and unique you want your site to be. If you're happy with an out-of-the-box website, you can now get one inexpensively.
  2. No haggling over what's included in the price and what isn't. If you want it included, just ask for it. And BlueLine WebMedia won't "pad your hours" doing unecessary things.
