Website Design Pricing

In South Africa, website design costs can range from R500 to R50 000. In the end, the cost of a website is largely determined by two factors: what you require and who you obtain it from.

The demand for websites, both professional and personal, has surged as web design in South Africa has grown in the last ten years. At varying pricing, you have the one man web designer competing against the seasoned expert and agency. A competent designer understands what good design implies. The amateur with insufficient expertise and experience who offers template-based designs may not be able to deliver or guarantee the quality and functionality that a website demands.

Asking what a website should cost is like to asking how much your dinner bill will be before you’ve even glanced at the menu. There are a range of factors that go into determining the overall cost of a website; you must consider your EXACT requirements.

Think about what you do.
Is it a product or a service you’re offering? Will you need a shopping cart or e-commerce features if your website is focused on products? Consider what you do: do you sell a product or provide a service?

Will it be a simple, one-pager, or will there be product categories or services that necessitate an infinite amount of pages?
