While some graphic designers are graphic artists offering just design work, you may find some can help you with website design as well. Larger graphic design firms may have separate web designers on staff. . The cost for website design varies greatly. Graphic designers can build websites from scratch, creating a custom site with interactivity and visual presentation according to the client’s budget and needs. Designers can also build a more simple website based on existing templates that will make it easy for clients to keep the site up to date on their own. For example, BestDraft charges $5,000– $7,500 for design of a website with five or six pages, high-quality design and CMS capabilities.
