Estimating Website Design Costs
HOW-TO GUIDE
As a result of new technology and an increase in competition, the overall cost of a website has
decreased significantly in recent years. However, the cost of development is still dependent on the
functional requirements of your organization.
An experienced developer can provide an estimate based on a breakdown of the hours required
to meet your needs. Although there is no standard when it comes to the hourly rate of developers,
most charge $50-150/hour.
Use Demand Metric’s Website Design Budget to leverage an existing budgeting
template.
