- S. Francis, Seattle WA
"I was working with a very tight budget and especially paranoid that an unknown website designer might run up a huge bill and needlessly prolong the project for their own gain. Jill carefully listened to my needs, made me a quote and stuck tight to what she initially estimated."

I charge $80 per hour for website development. You only pay for the time you use versus paying a flat fee, so you are never overcharged for your project. How many hours will it take to complete your website? I've created this website cost estimation tool below:
Why a range? Because every website and client is unique. This estimator tool was created using actual client data. This tool assumes your website is comprised primarily of text and a few images. If you need special features on your website such as video, a database, PHP scripting or another type of application installed that's not listed, please contact me for an estimate.
Why don't I charge a flat fee? Because it's very difficult to estimate the amount of time each project will take, and if I charged a one-size-fits-all price, some clients would be overcharged, while others would be undercharged. Charging for the actual amount of time used is a more accurate method to use.
Other Website Development Costs
- Website Hosting Costs - You'll need a place to put your website files, called a "server",
because it serves up files to users , just like a waiter brings you your meal. A "host" is a company that has lots of servers and rents you space on one of them. The cost of website hosting runs around $5 to $20 a month depending upon which hosting company you select and which hosting plan you sign up for.
- Domain Name Registration Costs - Domain names are the “yourbusiness.com” - your website's official name. The cost of domain name registration is very inexpensive
and costs around $10 per year. While purchasing a website domain name is relatively simple, the selection of an appropriate domain name for your business is a critical decision. Make sure you purchase your domain name from a reputable domain registrar. You can also often purchase a domain name from the same company you use for website hosting.
- SSL Certificates and Unique IP Address - SSL certificates are required if your website is collecting sensitive information and transmitting it.
Clients who are installing an online store in which they will collect credit card information, will need to purchase an SSL certificate and Unique IP Address. The cost of SSL certificates vary widely. If you're a DreamHost customer, you can purchase a good SSL certificate from GeoTrust through them for around $100 per year. Unique IP Addresses will run around $5 per month.
- Website Maintenance - Once your website development is completed, you may need additional changes to keep your website content current, or you may want to expand your website by adding new features. Read more about my website maintenance services and fees.
- Website Emergency Service - This is a service I offer for people who are not my current clients, but who find themselves in a situation where their website has an issue that they need addressed ASAP.
Sometimes they are small business owners who can't contact their regular website designers. Other times they are web designers who need some extra help or consultation. Read more about my website emergency services and fees.
