WEBSITE PRICES FOR START-UP COMPANIES

[XOJJX]

Hi guys,

Had some fantastic advice on previous topics so thought I'd ask again for a little bit of a point in the right direction.

I am currently looking for ways to update our current website as it just isn't good enough in my opinion. It is, however, a bit time sensitive (completion required within 2 or 3 weeks). We are a start-up company so we have to watch the budget with an eagle eye, unfortunately.


I have no idea on how website developing works; therefore, I am apprehensive and fear getting ripped off. Some advice would be great.


I require no special effects, just something modern, slick, professional and minimalist. All photos, videos, texts, fonts and colours will be provided.

Something like this would be perfect: https://team.kg/

Anybody got any suggestions? Anybody know any students that fancy a project?

Thanks in advance!

Hi guys!

I forgot to mention that we have been running 2.5 years now! So, we have an okay little client base, we just need a REVAMP! A freshen up is required!

Firstly, many many thanks for the response and tips! It's massively appreciated.

All the images, text, colours, videos and fonts are already in use, it just needs to be dropped into a more modern template.

Above is a link of a website I really like. My company would require MUCH less information.

Regards!

We started an urgent site in June, client is still wavering over content, menu etc might get it launched this month!

Hi DS,

Just checked your company website out, looks fantastic. The kind of thing I am looking for.

Lol that’s not finished and the first decent site we’ve had in 2 years. Anyone can put that Wordpress together for you just ask locally and help the dev by getting your content ready and clearly labelled.

And what would you say would be a fair price?

You don't allow emails on your account - I have someone who should be able to do this for you, drop me a line via mail on here.

I have just changed the settings so now I can receive emails.

As has been said, you aren't after anything special realistically a wordpress theme and someone competent could put it together quickly. Generally if content was ready and the theme didn't need customising too much a freelancer would charge anything from £300-800 depending how much they wanted the job and country of origin!

I do a fair bit of work for a Scottish company, they basically re-sell on my work but they get the work in so I'm happy charging £300 for the basic websites as it tops up my play fund!

Have a look on people per hour or ask around for freelancers, plenty about

Hi Strain,

Had a few offers around the 500 EUR mark, so it does seem like a fair price.

I just despise the feeling of not knowing even the basics of how it works. Makes me susceptible to being taken to the cleaners.

My aunt paid £125.00 to have an IT guy from a company 2 miles away to install her Skype account.

I paid around £1500 for mine but I need SEO ideas to keep it performing

Looks great for that type of business!

And yes, I will look forward to that as the next challenge too. SEO, Google rankings...

Hi everyone,

I have managed to arrange someone to do it for me. £250.00 so pretty chuffed with that.

I have received a few messages from people on here offering their advice or sometimes services. I want to thank everybody for the offers.

If people are interested, I will post the final website up when it's done. Then everyone can see the quality.

Edit - took 10 days inc design, if design didnt change much would be 6 days BUT show it to a few people and use elements of it with my blessing ;o)

HI DS,

Sorry, I missed this message! Thanks for asking.

I am getting all my text together now. It's really tough to keep it slick and minimalist when there is so much text!

I am going to PM you.

I'm not surprised you're chuffed - I have two developers working for me and if I charged them out at £250/day I'd be making a loss. If you can get something decent in your 2-3 week timeframe for £250 it would be quite a coup. Best of luck with it.

Sure, I am happy BUT we have to see the result first. Might look like a dog's dinner!!!
