First, you must know that it is nearly impossible to blindly predict how much your web site will cost to design. Large-sized corporations can spend an average of $1,000 per page, and some medium-sized businesses can spend an average of $200 - $300 per page. In fact, many web design companies have a flat rate per page regardless of its complexity. We do not believe in charging a flat rate per page. Because many of our customers are small to medium-sized businesses, web pages tend to be smaller and less complicated than some of the web sites designed for large corporations. Therefore, they're typically easier to create! Remember, we specialize in designing professional, yet affordable, web sites for small businesses. That's our promise!
At Creative Web Site Inventions, we measure all of our web site estimates on the time required to build them. Our hourly fees are $50 per hour. Before we can give you an accurate estimate on your web site, it's important that we speak with you directly to gain a better understanding of what exactly we're designing, so we can determine how much time we'll spend building it.
The following are the most common web sites designed
by Creative Web Site Inventions. Each is more complex than the other,
and each has its own unique purpose.
| Business Card
Web Site: |
This is a very simple web site that gives you a
basic presence on the World Wide Web. Potential consumers may find
your site from a search engine, or visit your site after viewing a printed
publication, then later contact you via telephone to learn more about your
products and services. This site can require creating just 1 page.
|
| Brochure
Web Site: |
This is a slightly larger site as it describes your
products and services in greater detail. This gives consumers a better
understanding of your business before contacting you via telephone or visiting
your storefront. Pages may include a history or profile of your company,
along with links to many of your affiliates or parent companies.
Because this page is more complex and professional, consumers may view
your business with higher regard. This site can require creating
anywhere from 2 to 6 pages.
|
| Catalog
Web Site: |
This site will help you gain popularity in your
market as it places a heavy emphasis on describing your products and services.
Possibilities may include the use of colorful thumbnail pictures that can
be viewed individually or in larger format, descriptive text for each of
your products & services, or java applets to help you navigate through
the site with ease. Form mail can be used to give potential consumers
the opportunity to submit specific information to you regarding their areas
of interest and demographics. You in turn have the opportunity to
view this information and follow up with them directly. This site
can require creating anywhere from 7 to 15 pages.
|
| E-commerce
Web Site: |
This site will help you gain a global presence on
the World Wide Web. Through the use of shopping carts and secure
credit card processing, you may begin to sell your products and services
internationally. With a heavy emphasis on keywords and search engine
submission, you will increase the likelihood of getting more "hits" to
your web site, and increasing the likelihood for a higher business volume.
This site will require ongoing monitoring to ensure that you are notified
of successful credit card transactions so that consumers receive their
products in a timely manner. Maintenance is high priority in this
site. Products, services, and fees must be continually updated as
your supply, market demand, and market values may change with time.
This site can require an infinite number of pages.
