Let\u2019s get started!<\/p>\n

Web Design Costs & Website Design Pricing Strategy Factors<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Design Time<\/strong><\/p>\n

A page that just requires an image or two and some formatted text requires less time spent and therefore less pricing costs.<\/p>\n

However, if you want to make your page more visually interesting by adding calls-to-actions, parallax background and interactive elements the required time spent is more and hence an additional budget for the design is required. This extra cost could be well worth it, if you want to increase traffic to your website.<\/p>\n

Logo Design<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are two types of Logo: Basic logo and Full logo package.<\/p>\n

The basic logo is a very quick-text treatment that will be used only for the website. This option is great if you just need something quick for the web and software such as Photoshop can be used in order to keep cost and time down.<\/p>\n

The second option is to design a full logo + mark. This is an ideal option if you want to use this logo for all of your businesses. This logo is provided to you in a vector format that can be resized for any purpose. Then, you can use this on your business cards, website and any other print material that you may want. This option is going to cost you a little more since more time and work is required.<\/p>\n

Home Page Slider<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most of modern web designs have a slider on their home page. This feature is brilliant for catching people\u2019s eye and showing them quickly what the website is about.<\/p>\n

You have two sliders options: A simple slider and a fully animated slider.<\/p>\n

A simple slider would be a 3-4 slides that fade from one to the other. There will be little to no animation to help keep the design time and cost down. Although simple, this can be a great option for websites that have great product images.<\/p>\n

In a fully animated slider each element of the slides can animate in and be handled separately. As you can imagine this requires more hours to build out and because of this, the price is higher than just a simple slider. This is great idea if you want a slick slider to show off your companies\u2019 main services or products.<\/p>\n

Photo Galleries<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can display all of your work by adding a simple photo gallery or a fully fleshed out gallery section on your website.<\/p>\n

The simple photo gallery is the most affordable option and is perfect for people who would just like a nice page of images that a user can easily step through.<\/p>\n

A full featured gallery is a great option if you want multiple categories within your gallery. If you are a Photographer, for example, this would be the best option for you. You can easily manage your categories and layouts for large numbers of images on your website. This requires additional functionality and hence additional costs.<\/p>\n

Stock Images<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is much better if you have authentic original imagery to use throughout your website. But if you don\u2019t you can pick out stock images from a mile away.<\/p>\n

Using your own unique images will help ensure that your website is unique and stands out among the crowd.<\/p>\n

Stock images can range from \u20ac1 to \u20ac50 each depending on the level of quality needed and its purpose. It is recommended to have at least one image on each interior page as it greatly increases the visual appeal.<\/p>\n

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Page Optimization an extra time is required to research the correct keywords for any particular page in order to find the keywords people use to find similar content to yours. Then the keywords will be implemented into your copy, alt text and headers.<\/p>\n

Tracking is also important for a website. Website traffic, monitoring tools like Google Analytics and account in Google\u2019s Webmaster Tools could be done as a part of the tracking procedure.<\/p>\n

This will cost you a little bit more but will allow you to analyze your traffic and help you with marketing as well as speed up the indexation process.<\/p>\n

Social Media Connection<\/strong><\/p>\n

This can be done using some premium WordPress plugin. Due to the complexity of these plugins these require more time to set them up and thus increasing the cost.<\/p>\n

Making it as easy as possible for people to in touch with you about a service you offer is extremely important. Saving a click to your dedicated contact page can help increase conversions.<\/p>\n
