How much does
it cost to design a web site?
How much a site
costs to design depends on a number of factors:
- number of pages on the
site

images on the site
- programming
- web copywriting
- online marketing
A web page without
any high-level programming or search engine optimization
generally costs between $100 to $300 per page.

How much do you
charge for web site design?
Deep Channel Designs
generally charges $85 per hour for HTML coding and
web graphics design. Additional charges are made
for use of stock photography, search engine optimization,
and file compression.
Before we send
you a design contract, we provide you with an estimate
for the amount of time it usually takes to complete
a design project. Please keep in mind that it is
an estimate. We have completed multiple design projects
that fell below the estimated time. Clients only
pay for the time taken to complete a design project.

What types of
web sites can you design?
We have designed
all types of sites, ranging from simple brochure-type
web sites to e-commerce sites. Deep Channel Designs
is often outsourced to other design and marketing
firms for individual, specialized services.

How can I view my web site design
as it is in progress?
We can put your
web site design templates in a directory on our
web server so you can view the final product before
it goes live. Or we can put the web site on your
server. Whichever you prefer.

How many changes can I make to
the web site once I view the first design template?
You can make as
many changes as you wish to the design template
as you wish. We encourage clients to give plenty
of feedback so that we can get the design template(s)
established as soon as possible.
However, Deep
Channel Designs charges on an hourly basis. If you
request too many changes to your site design, or
if you change a design template after the entire
site has been formatted with the template, you will
incur more charges.

What is your
payment plan for web site design?
For first-time
clients and for jobs with a quote of under $500,
payment in full is required. For projects with a
quote between $500-$5,000, payment in half is required
along with a signed contract for beginning work,
with the remaining half due upon completion of the
project. For projects over $5,000, an initial payment
representing one-third of the estimated total fee
is required along with a signed contract. The second
one-third is billable upon the halfway point or
second phase of the project, with the final third
due upon completion of the project. Regular clients
are sent monthly invoices notifying payment within
30 days.
