Looking for a web designer? In your search, you’ll find that there are generally two ways that web design companies handle website pricing: 1. Custom quotes for every project. 2. Flat rate package pricing.
At 11Web, we’ve tried both. When we first started out, I created a few simple website packages. They provided a nice starting point and helped clients to quickly see what we had to offer.
But, after growing and becoming much more skilled, I second-guessed myself. I got concerned that potential clients wanted to see a specific proposal just for them. We offer great web design—what if our package pricing sheet didn’t feel “premium” enough?
So, for the past several months, I’ve been creating a custom quote for every project. After a complex discovery call, I’ll write out all the requirements and a big, intimidating project proposal. It’s a very slow process, and it produces an overwhelming, unfriendly proposal document. It’s really not fun for anybody, and I’m convinced that this whole process really should be fun.
I knew there had to be a better way, and the good news is that we’ve developed one.
After doing so many proposals, I’ve found that most small businesses really do require similar features in their websites: a captivating home page, a few sub-pages, social media links, and a contact form, to name a few. These projects generally take us approximately the same amount of time to complete, so charging the same rate every time makes a lot of sense.
So today, we’re announcing the return of simple, super transparent web design package pricing. It’s awesome for a few reasons:
- You know what we charge, and we charge the same price for everyone.
- You know immediately what a sparkly 11Web website will cost you, without waiting days for your proposal.
- You know exactly what is included. No surprise charges later.
- If you need a custom feature not included in a package, we just scope out the time and value involved in that feature and quickly provide a custom add-on price for it.
- This simple system means we cut down on total project time, which means we can keep our websites super affordable (whoot!).
- Your website project becomes faster and more clear.
- You know the next guy never gets a better price than you for the same work.
So nope, your company’s name won’t be at the top of a long, impressive document. But we really think simple solutions can be pretty impressive too.
