Website design: costs

How long will it take, and how much will it cost?

A site can take anywhere between 4 and 12 hours to create, depending on how clear your own ideas are, and whether you already have designs established (such as logos and colouring), or you would prefer me to design these for you.

My rates are £35 per hour. This is charged on a strictly time-spent basis (no minimum fees).
A four-hour project would therefore cost around £150; a 12-hour project would cost around £400.
Website hosting is charged at £50 per annum.

What about the domain name?

You will also be charged (at cost) a further small sum for domain name purchase (less than £4 per annum for a .co.uk or .org.uk name - prices vary for different extensions). The "admin contact" for the site will be Working Order, but the legal owner of the domain name will, of course, be yourself.

And in the future?

I will continue to maintain your site as you wish; updates are, where possible, made within 24 hours, and charged at the rates shown above. If you request very small amounts of maintenance during a given year, I will usually hold such costs until the time comes to charge your annual hosting fee.
