Your business needs a high-performing website in order to succeed in today’s world. To get a website that will perform well, you need to work with a web development company, like an agency. To help you get an idea of what you are getting yourself into with an agency, we have put together a web development pricing guide.
Agencies Are The Luxury Option
You have a few different options to choose from when it comes to developing your website. Of all the options available, agencies are the most expensive. This is because of the quality of work they provide and the amount of time they put into each website they develop. Hence giving them the luxury title in comparison to other options.
The Manpower Behind Agencies
To achieve their level of quality, they have multiple people who specialize in each aspect of developing a website. Unlike freelancers, they are capable of building an entire website from start to finish and ensure it is of high quality.
Why not have one person do everything? Simple. You can be good at multiple things but good won’t build the best website. You need someone who is the best at each aspect in order to achieve the results needed.
Who Works For Agencies?
When you are having your website built, these are the people involved…
- Project Manager – $700
- Designers – $3,000
- Copywriters – $300
- Developers – $5,000
Agencies will then also perform ongoing maintenance for around $1,000. Leading to a total of around $10,000 for them to develop and update your website.
Are All Agencies Equal?
Not all agencies are capable of producing the same results. That is why you need to be careful when choosing a website development company. Some will claim to have all the manpower but are really a one-man show. Others may have all the manpower but the people are not as good as they should be.
These differentiations in abilities will also influence the price of the agency. Some agencies are very well known and have worked with major companies, therefore their prices will be much higher.
