Pricing
A plan for every need
Determining pricing for website and ap design and development projects involves evaluating several factors. These factors help us to establish a fair price for our clients.
Here's a comprehensive breakdown of how we determine pricing for each type of project:
Static Websites
A static website typically consists of a few pages with content that doesn't change dynamically (e.g., about, services, contact, etc.).
Factors to Consider:
Number of Pages
More pages require more design and development time.
Design Complexity
Simple design vs. custom or intricate designs with animations or custom graphics.
Content
Whether content is provided by the client or needs to be created, including copywriting and images.
SEO
Basic SEO setup or advanced on-page SEO optimization.
Responsive Design
Ensuring the website works well on mobile devices.
Domain & Hosting Setup
This is NOT included in the pricing, and will be charged separately.
Pricing Models:
Project-Based
$500 - $5,000+ depending on the complexity and number of pages.
Example Pricing Range:
Basic Website
$1,000 - $3,000
Complex Website
$3,000 - $5,000+
Dynamic Websites (Web Apps)
A dynamic website or web application, as the name implies, changes dynamically with user interactivity and functionality, like forms, logins, dashboards, etc.
Factors to Consider:
Functional Complexity
Are there features like user authentication, forms, databases, etc.?
Integration Needs
Will the website need to integrate other platforms (e.g., APIs, third-party services)?
Backend vs. Frontend Development
Some projects will require more work on the backend (server-side logic, databases) than on the frontend.
Security Requirements
Sensitive data handling, encryption, and security measures.
Scalability
Is this a small app, or does it need to be built to scale?
UI/UX Design
A more polished, user-friendly design might take more time.
Pricing Models:
Project-Based
Dynamic Websites (Web applications) can range from $1,000 to $100,000+ depending on complexity.
Example Pricing Range:
Small Website (e.g., Portfolio, Simple Dashboard, Landing Page with Integrations):
$1,000 - $10,000
Mid-Range Website (e.g., Project Management Tool, Simple, SaaS Platform):
$10,000 - $50,000+
Complex Website (e.g., Complex SaaS, Enterprise Solution, Social Platform):
$50,000 - $100,000+
E-commerce Websites
E-commerce websites typically involve product listings, shopping carts, payment processing, and customer management systems.
Factors to Consider:
Platform
Will you use platforms like Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, WooCommerce, Magento, or a custom solution?
Number of Products
A large number of products and product ranges can increase the complexity (inventory systems, product variations, etc.).
Payment Gateways
Integration with payment processors like Square, PayPal, Stripe, etc.
Inventory Management
Basic vs. complex inventory systems
Shipping and Tax Calculation
Does it require automated shipping/tax calculations based on location?
User Accounts & CRM
Customer accounts, wishlists, and order management features.
SEO & Marketing
Optimizing the site for search engines, integrating marketing tools, etc.
Security
Implementing SSL certificates, payment security, and data protection.
Pricing Models:
Platform-Based
If using platforms like Shopify or WooCommerce, you may charge a setup fee + customization.
Project-Based
E-commerce websites can range widely from $5,000 to $50,000+ depending on features.
Example Pricing Range:
Small Website (Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, etc.)
$3,000 - $10,000
Mid-Range Website (Custom features, custom themes)
$10,000 - $50,000
Large Website (Enterprise, complex integration)
$50,000 - $100,000+
Mobile Applications
Mobile apps are typically native apps for iOS and Android or hybrid apps built with cross-platform technologies like React Native, Flutter, etc.
Factors to Consider:
Platform
Are we building for iOS, Android, or both? Cross-platform development is more expensive than a single platform.
App Complexity
Simple apps like calculators or to-do lists vs. complex apps with APIs, real-time data, or complex logic (e.g., social media, e-commerce).
Design
High-end custom design (animations, UX/UI) takes more time and effort.
Functionality
Features like push notifications, geolocation, offline modes, etc.
Backend
Will the app require a server-side infrastructure, databases, and APIs?
Third-Party Integrations
Integrating external services (payment systems, social media logins, etc.).
Security & Privacy
Especially for apps dealing with sensitive user data.
App Store Submissions
Assistance with app submission to the App Store and Google Play.
Pricing Models:
Project-Based
Mobile apps can range from $5,000 to $200,000+ depending on complexity.
Example Pricing Range:
Simple Mobile App
$1,000 - $20,000
Mid-Range Mobile App (Social Media, Small E-commerce)
$20,000 - $50,000
Complex Mobile App (Enterprise, SaaS, Real-Time Data, Social Media)
$50,000 - $150,000+
CMS (Content Management Systems) Websites

Factors to Consider:
Platform
Which CMS will you use (Squarespace, Wix, Framer, Webflow, WordPress, or custom-built solutions)?
Design & Theme
Will we use a pre-built theme, a custom theme, or a theme modification?

Emergency Support
Emergency or after-hours support might come with an additional surcharge.
Custom Development
Custom coding or feature enhancements may require higher project-based pricing.
Website Migration
Website migration involves transferring an existing website from one platform to another, changing its domain, or moving from one hosting environment to another. This can involve the migration of content, design, and functionality, and may require additional optimization and testing to ensure that the new site performs well.
Factors to Consider:
Source & Destination Platforms
Are you migrating from one CMS to another (e.g., WordPress to Shopify), from an old version of a platform to a newer one, or from a custom-built solution to a CMS?
Site Complexity
The complexity of the current website (e.g., number of pages, custom functionality, databases, integrations, etc.) will determine the level of work involved.
SEO Impact
Ensuring SEO rankings are maintained after migration, including URL redirects, meta tags, and other on-site SEO elements.
Data Migration
Moving databases, forms, customer data, and product information without loss or corruption.
Design & Branding
Are you keeping the design the same, or are you updating the site's look during the migration?
Content Migration
Moving large amounts of content (pages, blog posts, media, etc.) while ensuring formatting and structure are preserved.
Testing & Debugging
Extensive testing is necessary to ensure that the migration does not disrupt site functionality (forms, shopping carts, etc.).
Minimize Downtime
Minimizing downtime during migration, especially for e-commerce or high-traffic websites.
Backup & Rollback Plan
Ensuring backups are taken and a rollback plan is in place in case of issues during migration.
Pricing Models:
Project-Based
Migration pricing typically ranges from $1,000 to $25,000+ depending on the size, complexity, and platform involved.
Example Pricing Range:
Basic Website Migration (Simple platform-to-platform transfer, no design changes)
$1,000 - $5,000
Medium Complexity Migration (More advanced CMS migration, SEO considerations, custom functionality)
$5,000 - $15,000
Complex Website Migration (Large website, custom functionality, e-commerce site with high traffic, full redesign)
$15,000 - $25,000+
Additional Considerations:
Ongoing Support
Post-migration support for any issues, training on the new platform, or additional tweaks can be added as an ongoing service.
SEO Monitoring
After migration, SEO performance should be monitored for several weeks to ensure there are no drops in traffic or rankings.
Backup & Recovery
A comprehensive backup and disaster recovery plan is important for ensuring the website can be restored if issues arise during or after migration.
