Web Site Design Services
e
want your web site to be a reflection of your business and
its goals. Catalyst strives to help customers over the technical
hurdle by encouraging customer participation in all phases
of the project. We see the process of building and maintaining
a web site as requiring 5 building blocks. Catalyst consulting
services are available to complete as many or as few of
these building blocks to suit your needs.
How much does it cost to make a web site?
To answer this common question,
it is important to consider what building blocks you would
like Catalyst to complete. For a small to medium business
web site, we've listed some example prices below, but please
feel free to give Catalyst a call (208-860-0719) for a quote
specifically suited to your project.
- Creating a graphic design/page layout. $1,000
to $2,500 depending on the number of drafts. We will provide 2 or 3
example layouts per draft.
- Writing the content of the web site. This is
the majority of work, often from 30 to 130 hours. If you
can answer a few questions about your business, you are
well on your way: Who are your target customers? What
do you offer those customers? How is your product or service
different or better than your competitors?
- Developing the web site. $1,500 to $4,500 depending
on the number of pages and the complexity of the web site
(pop-out navigation, custom graphics, or dynamic features such as on-line feedback forms). Full e-commerce
sites (with a shopping cart and real-time credit card
processing) would add $750 to $3,000 depending on number
of items sold.
- Optimizing for search engine placement. $300
to $1,000 depending on the size of the web site.
- Maintenance plan/Training for future updates.
