    Estimating Website Design Costs
    HOW-TO GUIDE

    As a result of new technology and an increase in competition, the overall cost of a website has
    decreased significantly in recent years. However, the cost of development is still dependent on the
    functional requirements of your organization.

    An experienced developer can provide an estimate based on a breakdown of the hours required
    to meet your needs. Although there is no standard when it comes to the hourly rate of developers,
    most charge $50-150/hour.
