Professional Rates for Web Design and Website Redesign

As the owner of Lori's Web Design, and being a professional web designer, I offer a wide selection of affordable web design rates because every site owner has different requirements and rates will vary between websites. Some clients need a custom web design and others need a website redesign. The rates for both are very similar as there just as much work fixing a website as there is in setting up an original design.

Low rates are maintained on Lori's Web Design because I write all code by hand, which results in no need to buy or upgrade expensive web design software. I am currently designing sites with 100% CSS layouts unless data tables are needed so websites load quickly without the code bloat produced via WYSIWYG or CMS programs. I aim for search engine friendly designs and cross browser compatibility on both the Mac and PC. I do all the work myself so you get personalized attention. See the Web Design Portfolio for sites I have designed/redesigned.

I watch the weekly traffic stats for all clients, at no charge, as long as they keep me as their web designer to make sure there aren't problems with the site. I help clients change their domain into their own name, if needed, and also keep a record of when domains come due and let clients know when the due date is approaching so they don't lose their domain.

The final price rate is based on the amount of effort required. If there is a lot of image formatting, or contact forms, setting up a shopping cart, or designing custom graphics, or research to write the content then the price rate is higher (I have a BA in English/Creative Writing and also an artist).

If your website is having ranking problems you may need a web site evaluation before progressing with a website redesign. Please see the Contact page or call me at 509-443-8693 if you are interested
in purchasing any of the services listed below.

Web Design Rates for a 10 page site:

I keep my rates low because they are based on a bare bones website, without fancy features. You can request additional features but they may incur an additional charge.

If you supply all text and images and there is no shopping cart
This price includes:
  • Designing up to 10 pages
  • Simple Text Logo/Banner (or using your logo)
  • One Contact Form
  • Search Engine Optimization for major keywords
Time frame for completion 2-4 weeks, once all data is obtained.

Extras:
  • Designing a logo other than a simple text logo.
  • Additional pages over the initial 10 are $10.00 and up.
  • Editing your graphics other than resizing (removing backgrounds, etc).
  • More than one contact form.
  • Drop Down Menu
  • More than one layout for home page vs inside pages.
  • More than 6 images in content area of each page.
  • Converting videos and audios.
  • Pages longer than 3 clicks and/or a lot of graphics, etc. on the pages.
  • Setting up redirects from other domains to current domain.
  • Extra graphics (animations, slideshows, graphics, etc.)
  • Text sent in hard copy that needs to be typed in.
  • Highlighting first letter (or word) in all paragraphs.
  • Continually changing the content before the site is online.
  • If you want me to do the research and write your content (BA in English) (see copywriting below)
  • Shopping cart*
  • Hosting, domain fees or extra software (paid to host or author)
  • Submission to directories and search engines (arranged after site is online)
  • Maintenance after the site is finished is available at $30 per hour (with no minimum fee).
* The shopping cart set up price varies depending on if you have an online merchant account or prefer PayPal or some other ecommerce method. Some hosts provide free cart software for increased hosting rates or you can buy the software yourself and save on future hosting.

$700.00
(with 1/2 down and the other 1/2 due upon completion)

 

Recommended Host:
WestHost Web Hosting


Web Design Rates for up to 5 pages:

The data for a 10 page site also applies to a smaller site* except it only covers up to 5 pages.

* I do not recommend less than 10 pages because search engine prefer sites with lots of pages and sites that grow frequently. Also the more pages you have the more links you have pointing back at your home page, which increases your ranking. If you want to start out slow and add pages later then you may prefer this option.
$550.00
(with 1/2 down and the other 1/2 due upon completion)

 


Website Redesign

The price for a Website Redesign is similar to designing a site from scratch, unless the site needs to be moved to a new host and more pages added, etc. If your website is having ranking problems in the search engines then a web site evaluation may be needed first to determine original design flaws and total costs.


Consultation Fee

If you would like advice so you can fix the site yourself I provide a consultation service either by phone or email. Please call between 12 noon and 5pm Pacific Time.
$30.00 Per Hour

Website Evaluations

This website evaluation service provides an in-depth evaluation of an already established website, looking for hosting or technical design flaws that are hindering your ranking in major search engines. This evaluation supplies you with tips on how to make your site more appealing to search engines and the general viewing public. It will be sent by email, prints out in 4-12 pages, depending on the problems, and takes at least 3 to hours to complete, so it's not free. See the website evaluation page for more info.
order a website evaluation
Important: I do not evaluate blogs as they are not built the same way as websites and have enormous code bloat problems that most people can't fix unless they are proficient web designers (in which case they wouldn't be asking me to evaluate their blog).
$75.00


Copywriting:

Since Google has started devaluing the links for sites that get involved in dishonest linking schemes and one-way links are hard to come by, the best option is for you to provide content that people link to willingly. Also the more pages you add to your site the more links you gain as every page pointing back to your home page counts as another link.

Having a BA in English/Creative Writing I can research your company's focus and write that content for you. Research and writing the content can take up to 3 hours per page.
$30.00 per hour
