Website Design Pricing Can Affect Your Budget in 2022

Webshure is a digital marketing agency that has changed the way website design pricing works, with no design fee. Webshure offers clients the opportunity to design a fully optimised website that will rank high on Google.

The Cost of Website Design

When looking at website design pricing it is important to consider what type of website you are looking to build. The type of build you choose will determine how much you will pay for your new website.

By choosing a website builder you receive a tool that helps you build a website. The advantage of using a website builder is that it offers you the opportunity to build a website without having to edit code. The use of a website builder costs the least per month.

You can also use WordPress to build your website. WordPress is a content management system which includes widgets and plug-ins. With customisable themes you can make your website look however you want. WordPress costs more than a website builder.

If you have the money, you can hire a website designer. This professional designer offers you expert hands on how to fully customise your website complete with visual and written content.

Fair warning, professional website designers do charge quite a lot of money. The process of designing a website from a professional designer will cost more than if you opt for a website builder or WordPress option.

However, there is no right or wrong way to design a website as each option has its pros and cons. You should look to choose an option which benefits you in the long term and doesn’t cut a hole in your pocket in the present moment.

Let’s dive into what makes website design pricing so high in 2022:

Factors to Consider with Website Design Pricing

Website Domain

The domain of a website is the name of the website. That URL in the top section of your search engine contains a domain name. This URL is how one finds a website, and when someone can find your website, they can interact with it.

You could look to spend within the range of R100-R200 on securing your domain name. Be sure to select a domain that works with your company.

Website Hosting

Without website hosting your website will not have the data storage space to run. This means your website will not function and the ability to maintain your website will decline.

Likewise, website hosting also determines how fast online users can access your site. The faster they can get onto your site the happier they will be and the more leads you can get.

You can choose between physical hosting and cloud-based hosting. Your price is dependant on your package so you could be looking anywhere between R300-R1200.

SSL Certificate

Go onto Google and type in a website. Now go onto that website and look at the top left corner of the URL. There should be a lock there and if the lock is closed then you know the website has an SSL certificate.

An SSL certificate means that the website you are visiting is secure. Moreover, it means that the website has the security measures in place to protect itself, but more importantly the visitor.

The SSL certification legitimises your website and indicates to any visitor that the site they are on is safe. On top of this, Google ranks websites way higher when they have an SSL certificate.

An SSL certificate will cost you about R250.

Website Theme

A website theme is what your website looks like, including the interface or how people navigate through the website.

The price of a website theme or template can range anywhere from R300 an hour for design to roughly R2000-R3000 an hour for design.

Ecommerce Functionality

Ecommerce functionality ensures that you have a space where individuals can conveniently buy products using your website’s ecommerce function.

Depending on the scope you are looking for you could end up having running costs of R100-R600 per month.

Website Content

Website design pricing can include website content in the price. Sometimes it doesn’t include the content that is on your website and that means you will have to pay for it.

Content is important because that is the information that people read when they visit your website. If they like what you are offering, they will be more inclined to stay on your website and to potentially buy your product or service.

Website content is also vital because it uses SEO keywords to help organically rank your website better.

This content could cost R2000-R3000 to create, depending on the content writer’s expertise and experience.

More Factors

There is a whole host of other factors to consider such as Apps and integration, as well as marketing your website.

You also need to look at organic versus paid advertising which often work well together to sell your website as a legitimate company.
