Hi all,

This subject to close to my professional heart!!

There are many different sides to the question of “how much should you pay” from the web designers who charge thousands for a website to those who would charge hundreds for the same size of website. Those who charge more would argue that they work many more hours, the design is better, it better for SEO (search engine optimisation) and those who charge less are devaluing the web design marketplace.

How would I answer such a question being as my Company charges less than many but more than the real cheap options? Well i would say the website must work and produce results, if your website is so poorly designed or will never come in the search engines you never gain any business from it then it doesn’t matter if you spent hundreds or thousands you have wasted your money! Worse still is the fact that whilst you have wasted money others who got a website that works are making your share of potential online business!!

Then there is afford ability, many of my clients would never have agreed to spend thousands on an unknown marketing tool at the beginning so Companies who charge such fees would never get the business.

Our theory at AS web Design is simple, we charge a fair amount to give our clients a step up into the online world and getting their businesses on the internet. Once we have proved it will be a success and they appreciate what goes into a good web design we forge a productive business relationship and over the course of a few years we would have made more money as a web design Company and our clients are happy with this because they are making WAY MORE!!

A foot note anyone who charges less than £250 for a 5 page website are really not putting in the time to give an effective website, or they charge high monthly amounts after, either that or there time is cheap and there experience is limited!

Those that charge over £1000 for a static 5 page website are over charging, unless they are doing flash work, video work or other multi-media or design (logo design etc) that takes up a lot of time.

It is also fair to say that those who prove a track record of success (like us :) ) have a right to charge more than those who can not prove online success for your business.

We aim to the right balance between afford ability of websites and effective web designs that work.

So our websites start at £339 for a 5 page basic website to £3000 + for content management & professional web design to ecommerce which starts from £1000 +

Thanks for reading have a good day
