Project Fees

Beyond the day rate, my preferred approach is to work on project fees. This way, there are no surprises on either side - no-one likes surprises when it comes to costs!

The two questions most clients ask are: “How much will my new website cost?” and “How long will it take to build?”

Sadly, the answer is still “how long is a piece of string” but based off my experience with over 30 clients in recent years, I have tried to elaborate on one of my more “typical” builds.

A large number of clients come to me for:

• A bespoke design
• A mobile-responsive front-end (what your visitors/users see and interact with)
• A WordPress back-end, often with some custom functionality relevant to the client e.g. an easy to manage Portfolio or Team section
• Getting the website live on a server (whether mine or the clients)

Typically, this takes about 8 working days over a 2-3 week period (depending on how responsive the client is). Based off my day rate, this comes to £2400.

Often, clients have their own designs and designers, so the build falls to 6 working days, bringing the costs to £1800.

Again, this is just illustrative but I hope it helps!
