Pricing
How much will it cost?
Everyone wants the answer to that difficult question. Every website is different. I take pride in my work and what I do. I do not use a pre-made template with stock images on your site. I instead provide 100% custom work.
From designing a basic website to an advanced website, I take the time to ensure that it is secure as well as harden the site with code. I ensure that the default login and registration is changed to guard against fraudulent registration attempts.
There are sites that just sell a single item, or just need a landing page. Then there are sites that need an e-commerce platform for digital or physical goods. Some want to develop a site that is community-driven, and others want a private membership site.
A web developer must have a firm knowledge of what you desire. Then walk with you through a variety of ways to complete the tasks. It is then that they can take the time to price out the project at hand.
There are a number of questions I must ask to give me an overview of the website you desire. There are a few questions that require a little thought but provide me with a way of coming up with a general layout for your new dream website.
