web design cost?

How long is a peice of string?

Here in the UK, generally if you take on the work as a sideline the going rate is £20 to £25 an hour.

If you offer a good service £60 is not un common (People expect you to be a business though).

If you can call yourself an angency £180 an hour.

My advice is not to go in too cheaply, always bang on about the service and added value there is in your product.

If you go in just on price, there are a lot of companies in China and India who will work for you £300 to £600 a month as a full time employee, that £3 an hour.

Last year I was working with a designer and we charged £900 for a single page of HTML (couple of hours work) so the money is there.

Some designers (like me) charge by the page as well. Many clients need a site consisting of a few pages...say 5 (home, about, services, order, contact). An intermediate or advanced designer can have these pages layed out, approved, and coded in as little as six to ten hours. I experience this kind of work all the time, and I have found that most clients perfer to pay by the page because if something happens and the timeframe is a little off, they don't want to pay the developer for extra time outside of the quoted timeframe and cost.

I charge about $50 per page, and I add to the cost for things like PHP forms, embedded audio/video files, etc., and this has proven me great success over the last three years.

Thank you!
