This is another question where the type of project will heavily influence the cost. In general though Australian web developers will sit on the higher side of the pricing spectrum across the board. Similar to developers in Los Angeles and London. Places like NYC and San Francisco will command the highest prices for web development where the projects in general are large in scope and are well funded, so that drives market prices. Web development in countries like India and Hungary are some of the best technically in the world and are generally priced on the lower side of the scale. An interesting thing to remember is that web development is a global industry and many projects are running teams from different countries at the same time. Technology has removed barriers to communication and collaboration, allowing everyone in the world to have full access to the resources they need to create anything they want.
