A simple site can be estimated quickly, and it can probably be created quickly as well. A more complex site is impossible to estimate without a lot of information gathering. Good communication during the design stage will let us know if we're headed in the right direction when it comes to price. The key to success with your site includes budgeting for it.
Good work takes time.
If you are looking for a creative design team that also provides a first class hosting and support solution, please contact us and we'll be happy to speak with you about your project. Site design often involves several skills and sometimes several people. If a high level programmer is required for example, to build a database driven site that requires e-commerce capabilities, the hourly rate is on the high side. After the design is complete and is what you want your site to be, the process then accelerates. The initial design is the most difficult and time consuming phase.
