Web Design Cost

When it comes to considering web design cost, a variety of methods are available. Your choice can significantly impact your expenses. One of the primary decisions is whether to hire a web design agency or a freelance web designer. Freelance web designers are typically more cost effective and can deliver quality web design work comparable to that of agencies. Additionally, working with a freelancer allows for a more personal relationship, which is often lacking with larger agencies.

Ongoing support is crucial after your website is live, so ensure your chosen designer offers this service. Designers who provide hosting usually include some level of support, but it's wise to confirm this to guarantee your site will be maintained post-launch.

According to the startup.co.uk website, here are some average costs they have set out for designing and building a website:
  • DIY with a website builder: £425

  • Hiring a web designer: £4500, with ongoing costs of £800 per year (My charges are nowhere near this however - see below)

  • DIY with WordPress: £30 to £1,000 per year
The average prices for hiring a web designer cited above likely reflect the fees of a web design agency rather than hiring a freelancer.  For a typical website, my web design costs generally range between £800 and £1,200 with ongoing fees around £250 per year. This is for a custom-built site tailored to the client's needs, rather than using a predesigned template. Additionally, I provide an easy to use web editor that allows the website owner to make simple changes once the site is live.
