How does a web designer estimate website cost?

Hourly: Hourly web design rates can variety from $25-$200. Hourly rates are generally comisserate with a web designer's experience. A higher hourly rate should point out higher quality and more expertise. More knowledge should imply faster work and/or more quality per hour. A well experienced web designer may charge between $50-$100. A web designer can offer an estimate or quote based on the number of hours he believes your website will take to complete. The actual time taken to entire the task will likely vary at least slightly.

Project Rate: Project rate or flat rate is a single set cost for your website. Flat rate means given a pre-agreed description of your website, the cost will not change. If halfway through the project you ask for new features not before discussed, expect more cost added to the flat rate. A web designer will generally calculate a website's flat rate using the amount of hours expected to go into the website. I suggest requesting a flat project rate if it's your first time working with a web designer because you will know ahead of time what you will be paying. You do not have to worry about the quantity of hours going into your website; just focus on the last cost and deliverables.

Rate gotcha: It's very important to be clear up front with your web designer about what you will be getting. You should delineate all of your expectations to your web designer. It's better to give too much info than not enough. Make sure that the quote or proposal your web designer offers demonstrates his accepting of your requirements in writing. If this is not clearly outlined in detail, you have a good opening for shared misunderstandings down the road about what should be delivered for the price you paid.
