What will a professionally designed website cost?
I always create custom websites for my clients, I don’t purchase templates and rebadge them, as more often than not they aren’t flexible enough to achieve what my clients requires. So maybe the question should actually be “What will a website be worth to my business?” as with most things in life, you get what you pay for, the websites I design websites that pay particular attention to detail, style and usability.
As each website is created to my clients needs I don’t have a standard pricing structure, but the following should give a good indication of likely costs.
