Hourly Rates
Why the different rates?
We have a range of website development prices. This is because jumping into a site that has not been routinely updated, secured and maintained by us often leads to much more backend work, even for fairly simple updates. It’s one of the main reasons we highly recommend joining our monthly plan. By trusting us to look after your site and keep it running smoothly month to month, you can get discounted website development prices for updates, revisions and additions. The monthly maintenance plan is billed twice yearly.
Another factor that impacts the price is the theme the site runs on and whether we build the original site.
While full projects are estimated at a fixed rate, we also offer our hourly rate for things like quick website updates, one-off development additions and graphic design work for both current and new clients. If you’re already a client, you know we work fast and always provide the most timely, efficient service. We get as many details from you as we can up front, then we provide an estimate of hours before moving forward.
If you’re curious, our website development prices are still on the lower end of the scale when compared to big web agencies and design shops with our level of expertise and customer care. (Most professional freelancers and design teams are charging anywhere between $75-$250/hr)
We intentionally keep website development prices as low as we can so clients can afford our hourly services when needed. Reach out with any questions or to set up a retainer of hours for some website updates!
