The age-old question. It depends on many different variables. Here are a few questions about web design cost that can help us put together an accurate estimate for you:

• How small or large is your website?
  Small, medium, and large websites have different needs. They need to handle different amounts of traffic and need to address different business goals.
• What features and functionality do you want to add? 
  Do you want custom functionality like maps, accordion menus, animation or some new feature that no one has done before? We need to understand the full scope of your project before an accurate estimate can be delivered.
• Are you doing an eCommerce website or selling items online?
  If so, how many items do you have? What payment gateway are you using, do you have an SSL Certificate? Do you have requirements for the platform you’d like to use? An eCommerce store can vary in cost greatly, so it’s important to have an idea of bells and whistles, but also a sound budget can help estimate further.
• How much work do you want to put in?
  Do you want to sit back and provide input while we take care of the entire website, or are you planning on rolling up your sleeves, entering content, taking photos, and helping add products to the website? We want to work with you to design the best website possible within your time and budget constraints.

1. Statement of Work – agreed upon work to be performed.
2. Planning and requirements
3. Sitemap and site structure
4. Access to FTP, usernames, passwords, and other necessary tools to perform the work.
5. Design, including wireframes and web design mockups
6. Review and approval cycle
7. Code implementation
8. Launch of live website
9. Post launch follow up and quality control
10. Promotion and Acquisition
