Setting a Website Development Budget
Cost is one of the first questions that comes to mind when you think about developing a new website. Design firms prefer to put off that conversation until we know the details of what you need. There are some general guidelines, however, that will give you some idea of what to expect in terms of costs. We’ve provided this website budget planning tool to help you consider which features you need, and give you some idea of the costs likely to be associated with those features.
It is only after a careful analysis of your needs that decisions should be made. Often the features you think you need will not really help you be more effective, and other tools that you have not considered will help you in ways you did not anticipate. That’s why we often start our relationship with a client with a “Phase One” discovery module, where we gather information about your organization’s goals and the needs of your audience, and map those to the most effective web tools available.
