The pricing chart to the left is approximate, not fixed. Every project is different in the details.

ESTIMATES & BIDDING
When you request a bid, I will be able to give a more accurate estimate of the cost. When the project is clearly defined, I charge by the project. When there is an unclear or uncertain scope to the project, I charge by the hour.

JOBS CHARGED BY THE PROJECT
If an original design is required, I supply three prototypes. I allow up to three major changes to each phase in the project (prototypes, development). At four or more changes, extra costs accrue that are charged by the hour.

EXTRA COSTS FOR WEBSITES
There can be many additional costs to websites. For example, large quantities of formatted text, image buttons, rounded corners, audio files, embedded video, many images, portfolios, slide shows, Flash, calendars, shopping carts, forms, extra links, etc... are additional hours of work and present a wide range of complexities.

STANDARD WEBSITES:
Standard websites use a pre-existing template from one of the designs you see in my portfolio or an open source template. Because I am not creating a new design or template, the cost of the project is considerably more affordable. Standard websites are also categorized by their simple design, fewer images, content, etc...

CUSTOM WEBSITES:
There are many cases where you can't use a pre-existing template or you have a specific original design idea. This would call for a custom website, where I present 6 prototypes and three different designs, then from the chosen prototypes create new web templates that will be the basis for all the pages of the site. Custom websites also tend to have more content, like audio files, extra images and links, Flash, dynamic content, etc...
