Static, CMS, Ecommerce, & Flash Website Design Price List

Web Design Services Price List

Budget-minded pricing for small businesses.

At Abacus Help Solutions we follow a “per page” pricing system rather than charge by the hour. The biggest problem with the hourly pricing structure is the fact that there is no way for you to determine how long it really takes to build your Web site. Whereas with our per page pricing system you know exactly how much the total cost will be before you start the project. No more surprise add-on charges or sticker shock when your Web site is finished.
The only time Abacus Help Solutions will bill you by the hour is for additional work beyond the scope of the signed agreement. Even then, you will be given an estimate for the additions before we do the work. We will perform the extra work only after you have given us written approval.

What do you charge?

We have carefully constructed a pricing chart that covers all the associated costs of developing a web site from start to finish. Although your web design project may differ depending on your specific needs, you can use the pricing chart below to get a ball park idea of what it would cost to develop your web project.

Standard Price for Custom Static Web Design

Rates may vary for special web design requirements for a logo, forms, price lists, animation, etc.

Pricing Example:

Total price for developing a 15-page informational type Web site:

Why does the 1st (Home) page cost so much more?

The majority of development time is spent designing the Home page because it involves developing a unique concept specifically for your business based on our discussions, designing the layout with a color scheme that will provide a consistent look throughout the site, creating the navigation flow and providing you with a “live” mock-up for your review. All of this work requires a disproportionate amount of our time as compared to building the rest of the site based on your approved design, so we charge a lower price on the remaining pages.

Rates may vary for special requirements. See custom WordPress and Blogger details here for custom blog design price and advanced options or exceptions.

Client Responsibility for Website Content

Clients understand their business better than anyone, so they are responsible for providing web design text content and unique graphics such as a logo or photographs. Custom web graphics to present your corporate image and color scheme are included in the price of your small business web design.

Bilingual sites must be done first in English, and then the client must provide translations for the duplicate pages in the second language.

Special Note About Web Design Text Content

Often web design text content is one of the more difficult aspects of helping your designer. Many small business owners know their business inside and out, but have trouble documenting this information. Writing skills and perfect content or spelling are NOT necessary. For static page text content your custom web design project may only require a list of bullets or phrases that describe what you do and the benefit to your customers. I’ll do the rest.

Custom Web Video Production Pricing

Custom video may include recorded videos or graphic images with special effects for a unique slide show. Screencasts for training videos is another web design option and separate tracks for narration and background music, too. Note: I have purchased royalty rights to a library of business themed instrumental music for all web designs, so consider having music on your video, also.

$300 for up to the first 3 minutes, and then $50 per minute after 3 minutes
