How to price a website design project fairly

Fair pricing helps both sides of a web design deal, and the price mostly comes down to scope.

Pricing tiers

From cheapest to most expensive:

• Landing page: one page with a hero section, features, a call to action and a footer.
• Brochure site: 5 to 10 pages, a contact form, basic SEO and a mobile-friendly layout.
• Business website: custom design, a CMS, a blog, SEO work and analytics.
• E-commerce site: product catalog, cart, checkout, payment integration and an admin panel.
• Web app: custom features, user accounts, API integration and a database.

Prices within each tier vary a lot between designers, so compare quotes for the same brief.

Factors that affect price

• the number of pages or screens
• custom design or a template
• how complex the CMS is
• e-commerce features
• responsive design requirements
• the timeline (rush jobs cost more)
• the designer's experience
