Marketing By Web-Design – Rates
I am thinking a fair charge for development of a 5 page site should be $550. That rate would cover about 12 hours of work at $45 an hour, to…
Have an initial phone/email exchange, to discuss
-
- the client’s interest/experience with web-marketing,
- their marketing objectives,
- the function a strong web-presence will play,
- the content and graphics materials to be used on the website,
- and a rough plan and schedule for site development.
Next steps…
-
- Select an appropriate WordPress Theme(either free or premium), Header, Background, Color, Menu
- Once I have received Content and Graphics materials to be used on the site, build the site as directed by the client (# of pages, menu/s, reasonable limits on # of images per page, widgets/plug-ins for sidebars and footers)
- Present the site to Client, either online or in person / Rearrange, edit as needed / Show again / Re-edit
- Set up site’s WordPress Stats to optimally report site activity, or
- SEO work, such as setting up Google Search Console (formerly “Webmaster Tools”), to optimize Search Engine recognition – billed at $35/hour.
- …if not hosted by WordPress.com, connect with Google Analytics (extra $45 charge)
- Determine utility of social media to bring traffic to your site, and offer the additional service (connect existing Social Media accounts to website, or open new accounts and connect).
- Arrange hosting through a hosting company (approx $100/year), or use Free hosting and domain when using “wordpress.com”… or WordPress plan upgrades, from $48/yr. – $299/yr. *
- 1 month of free site maintenance and editing (approx. 2 hours… after that, $30/hour).
