What is the standard cost of a website? and Why won't web design companies post their prices?

I get asked this question all the time. What is the standard price of a website? And why aren't your fees listed on your website or any other developers sites? The simple answer to both questions is because every website is custom and different so there is no one standard price.

Think about it. If I were a seamstress that specialized in making dresses and 2 customers came in and asked me "what is a standard price for a dress?" and I reply with $500.00. I would probably get myself into trouble. For example...the first client comes in and wants a sundress for a 9 month old. It would take a day and I would make a good profit...but the client isn't going to pay that high cost. The 2nd client you quoted asks for a wedding gown. Now your in deeper trouble. Materials alone cost over $500 and you didn't even include your labor.

Due to the fact that web design is custom work its very important to have a consultation to discuss your needs to get the most accurate quote possible. Most companies like us offer free consultations and quotes. I suggest you shop around not based solely on price but portfolio and is the price worth the outcome!
