How much does a small business website cost?

Short survey (2013-2014)

    Every web site is different, and every customer has his own requirements which makes it impossible to give a correct price for any individual site. Moreover, the different web developers use dissimilar methods to determine the cost for web design.

   There are four common types of web design pricing used in the web design area today.

Hourly Rate

Project Price    (Preferred by “Orius”)

Package Rates

Per Page Cost , Per Web-element Cost    (Preferred by “Orius” for landing pages, sales letters, web-banners, posters etc. )

As well as web design students, freelancers and firms from all over the world ask for different fees.

So, as in fact “Orius” is a community both freelancers and professionals, it has flexible pricing. The unpretentious, but good-looking website or separate web-element costs like a work created by freelancer from the East Europe. In this way, Wordpress site may cost up to £250 and quality is guaranteed because all production is created (or supervised) by Ivor! Of course, the complicated production needs an expert`s salary. Your choice!
