Celtic Spider Web
Pricing
Budget-minded pricing for small businesses.
At Celtic Spider Web we follow a per page pricing system rather than charge by the hour. The biggest problem with the hourly pricing structure is the fact that there is no way for you to determine how long it really takes to build your Web site. Whereas with our per page pricing system you know exactly how much the total cost will be before you start the project. No more surprise add-on charges or sticker shock when your Web site is finished.
The only time Celtic Spider Web will bill you by the hour is for additional work beyond the scope of the signed agreement. Even then, you will be given an estimate for the additions before we do the work. We will perform the extra work only after you have given us written approval.
What do you charge?
We have carefully constructed a pricing chart that covers all the associated costs of developing a web site from start to finish. Although your web design project may differ depending on your specific needs, you can use the pricing chart below to get a ball park idea of what it would cost to develop your web project.
| Number of Web Pages | Per Page Price |
|---|---|
| 1st Page (Home Page) | $400 |
| Pages 2 - 9 | $100 |
| Pages 10 - 19 | $50 |
| 20+ Pages | $25 |
Pricing Example: Total price for developing a 15-page informational type Web site:
| Page | Price Per Page | Total Price |
| 1st (Home) Page | 1 at $400 | $400 |
| Pages 2-9 | 8 at $100 | $800 |
| Pages 10-15 | 6 at $50 | $300 |
| Total Cost: | $1,500 | |
Why does the 1st (Home) page cost so much more?
The majority of development time is spent designing the Home page because it involves developing a unique concept specifically for your business based on our discussions, designing the layout with a color scheme that will provide a consistent look throughout the site, creating the navigation flow and providing you with a live mock-up for your review. All of this work requires a disproportionate amount of our time as compared to building the rest of the site based on your approved design, so we charge a lower price on the remaining pages.
