| Pricing Rates |
You will no doubt be able to find cheaper prices (a lot of developers will say yes to anything with just to get you in the door). But you usually get what you pay for. You've heard of horror stories of projects running half a year over schedule, not working, being full of bugs, etc. Web design, like most other services, comes in hugely varying degrees of quality both in terms of service and work product. And as such, prices vary just as much. We've got a lot of experience with a lot of aspects of development and marketing and just dealing with clients. We've been doing this since 2002 and with over 200 clients, we have evolved to very refined processes and high quality standards.
Fly by night developers can't afford to spend an hour responding to a first contact sales lead. And they can't afford to invest the time and personal attention along the way. They often are too small to absorb multiple clients at once, so that's why delays are so common. They also commit to prices that aren't feasible, but they figure close the deal now, get in the deposit, and worry about the rest later. We don't work like that!
Our caliber of service can't be done for the rates you may find with some smaller or off-shore developers. We're not going to sacrifice quality or process just to get a deal. NewTek Media operates with the same high-end integrity in complex web and database applications where what you can actually see is just the tip of the iceberg. It's critical that the underlying code be every bit as good as the parts you see. But there is no doubt it costs a bit more to give this kind of attention to detail. Not a lot more, but a bit more. NewTek Media still tries to price our services about 20-30% under our true competition. We consider competition to be firms with a comparable track record, customer management process, quality assurance process, and a true commitment to service (not just some kid in a bedroom with a new computer). There are certainly some great web design firms out there, and NewTek Media does try to be more affordable than they are. NewTek Media does run a tight ship and is able to minimize overhead to keep our pricing lower than most without making sacrifices in quality.
Our typical hourly rate is $85 - $100, but we usually price per project which comes out to be considerably less than doing things hourly in some cases but this depends on the project. Just to give you an idea, here is a very broad sampling of price ranges based on the nature of the project:
A typical brochure-ware website: $2000-2500
A typical lead-generation website $2500-3500
A higher end lead-generation website: $3500-5000
A typical ecommerce shopping cart type of site: $2500-5500
Highly functional sites with member logins, etc.: $5000+
Enterprises level sites with robust functionality: $10000+
Again these prices aren't firm, just guidelines, but remember when it comes to pricing, you usually get what you pay for in web design. At our price levels, a certain degree of common sense is built in. For instance, if the scope of work calls for a login module, we would just include a 'forgot password' function as well, whether it was specified or not. When you're buying low-end programming, the labor often doesn't apply logic or common sense to round out the functionality. Again, you get what you pay for.
Our rates for hourly work are:
- Creative - $85-$100/hr
graphics design, animation, HTML coding
- Photography - $150/hr
Plus $15 per a image the client wants to keep.
- Technical - $85/hr
programming (ex: php, asp, aspx) server maintenance, database services
- Site Evaluations - $200 ( per site review )
We will evaulate your current website and give you a review and suggestions on how to make your site better.
- Consulting - $50-$85/hr (your first phone call is always free)
We are happy to talk and discuss with you about your project needs and how we can help you. But of coarse we won't give away our secrets on how we can do this for you, why else would we be in business.
