The cost for a website can vary greatly depending on the requirements and scope of the project. Some websites are informational sales tools while others neede-commerce and custom online software functionality. Darwin provides affordable Web Design, Blog Software, and Content Management Systems - especially for small business.

The most popular service is our high end, custom design. We create new custom websites and also redesign existing web sites. A typical "Corporate Website" consists of 5-10 web pages such as Home, About, Services, Products, Company, Team, Mission, etc. Every company is different - but those are some samples.

A typical Corporate website ranges from $2500-$5000 plus, depending on the number of pages you require, custom functionality and focus on creative. Custom designed websites include project discovery, custom design, revisions to your design, xhtml/css coding building your web pages, inserting your content and launching your new website.

Should you need custom functionality or other advertising services we are glad to offer pricing. We also offer training for your staff to manage the website with a content management system (CMS), e-commerce to add and sell products, contact forms, flash, and search engine optimization.

Blog Sites

We offer a simple blogging solution with WordPress configurations and installs for $350. For more advanced custom blogging solutions that take on the look and feel of your website with custom configuring and templates - we start right around $1500.

A website is an important investment. If you have an office or retail shop - the cost of a website is very insignificant considering the return on investment. One lead and sale for many organizations can pay for the entire web investment.

What defines a Web page?

A Web site consists of many different Web pages. Every Web site has a home page (often called the index page). The rest of the site is made up of inner pages. Some examples of common inner pages are:

• About Us
• Contact Us
• Testimonials
• Articles
• Products
• Portfolio
• Privacy Policy
• Terms of Use or Disclaimer
• FAQ's
• Order
• Resources
• Rates

Hourly Charges for Web Design

Creating customized layout and graphics is a process that involves a high amount of artistic ability and creativity. The amount of time that it takes to design a new project can vary greatly depending on the knowledge the designer has about your industry, available resources, and even the creative mood of the designer.

Most Web Designers have different methods for charging for Web design services. Some charge hourly, others by packages and others bid according to your budget. Darwin-Design charges by the project for most projects because:

• It takes the guess work out of the final cost of the project - there are no surprises when you receive the final invoice.
• You pay a predefined amount regardless of the time the designer spends on the project.

Should you have a smaller project or need additional work after the completion of your project, we bill at our hourly web design rate of $110.
