As you might expect, the cost of setting up a web site "depends" on several factors:  the number of pages, the number & kinds of graphics, etc.  However, to give you a feel for our pricing we'll explain our guidelines.

We charge from $45 to $125 an hour for our time, depending on the level of expertise needed.  However, many customers are leery about variable pricing, so we do work on a flat rate for many projects.  We simply estimate the number of hours, add a margin of error, and multiply by an hourly rate.

For a small, static site with only a few pages (a brochure type of site) we charge from $200 to $1,500.  For a site that includes a company brochure and a small catalog with photographs of the products, the price will start at $900 and rise depending on the size of the catalog.  A moderate size catalog could generate a charge of $2,500 or more.

A site that is interactive will, of course, cost more.  For instance, a site that has on-line order forms, a shopping cart system, and requires encryption work (to be able to take credit card information) will raise the price.  Sites that have search features, message posting, forms for collecting information, and other items that involve more than passive web pages will all affect the amount of hours and thereby the billing.

So you see, pricing is very involved and "depends."  But don't let all of this intimidate you.  The best course of action is to ask us to give you a quote based on your own needs.  Incidentally, when we figure quotes we can provide graduated quotes.  For instance,  we might give a quote for setting up a brochure on the web, and a separate quote for adding a small catalog later, all with an eye towards eventually adding an order-taking system much later.  We're willing to work with you in creating a web site that can grow with you as your understanding of the web grows, as your business needs grow, and as your budget can justify it.
