About Our Rates

So what do we charge for websites? It's kind of hard to say offhand, but there are three central variables involved in pricing:

• How many pages are in the site to begin with?
• How many changes are needed on an on-going basis?
• What kind of website you want: Informational? A business site? E-commerce (i.e., selling products online)? A blogsite? A discussion forum?

For example, Prudential Angel Fire Real Estate (see our portfolio) has a lot of pages, and these pages have to be changed every few days. Needless to say, the site isn't cheap! We currently charge $25+tax per hour for this kind of work. All work is charged by the minute (that is, about 40¢+tax per minute for time on task). Consultation time is like coffee breaks: There's no charge for that!

Remember, though, that we strongly prefer that you carry your domain and hosting charges, all in your name. (In this way, we don't play middle-man, and there are absolutely no ownership issues down the road.)

• The standard costs for domains run anywhere from a couple of bucks per year to around $10 per year, depending on which domain you choose. We'll help you here!
• Hosting charges also vary, depending on how long you want to host for (a couple of months versus years at a time), and how much extra stuff you want with the hosting (your own email addresses, monthly statistics reports, and the like). The range we're talking about for hosting runs from around $3 per month to around $15 per month or even more for a really major site.
• E-commerce sites do cost more, and there are lots of variables involved. Costs can range anywhere from several hundred per year up to over a thousand per year! If you want to do e-commerce, we'll need to do a careful assessment of just want you want to do!

Again, we will help you set all of this up.

The bottom line is this: If you need a small website that is fairly stable throughout the year, we can make you a durned good deal at a flat rate. If you need a larger one or one that needs to be changed a bunch over time, it's going to be more costly. In any event, we'll try to keep your costs in line and provide you with as many cost-savings options as we can. We'd just need to look over your needs carefully and come up with a price!
