By it's very nature, web and graphic design are very individual processes. Website design & development projects are quoted on a per project basis and can vary by quite a bit depending on the scope of work, size of the site and any advanced functionality required.
Having said that, I have never run my business with the model of concealling my prices. I put as much on the table as possible for you ahead of time and let you make the initial decisions. My rates for web design projects are based on a consistent pricing formula taking into account the size, complexity, functionality and completion time frame of the individual job. To give you some idea of cost, most of my web design projects fall in the $1800 to $3000 range.
Website maintenance: Updating or alteration issues my rate is $60 an hour. This rate includes maintenance, updating and modification of existing pages. New pages will be quoted separately.
Standard Hosting Fees: for websites begin as low as $120 a year (usually billed quarterly).
Domain Transfers: (for existing domains that are transfered to a new hosting account) are $10 (this is a one time charge).
Domain Registration: (for new domains) is $10 a year.
Hosting Setup: fee is $25 (this is a one time fee).
Standard Graphic Design project rates are as follows:
Logo Design / Development: $350 - $500
Letterhead Design: $200
Brochure Design: $275 - $450
Business Card Design: $250
My standard Drafting and Technical Illustration rate is $50 an hour.
My basic rates* for Photography work are:
$60 an hour (with a one hour minimum),
$220 for a half day (up to 4 hours)
$425 for a full day (up to 8 hours)
Situations such as long distances, remote locations etc. will effect the final price for the photo shoot. Round trip travel costs will be calculated based on the first 75 miles free and 50 cents a mile thereafter.
*Photo retouching and any other photoshop work will be billed in addition to the basic photography rates.
Thank you for your consideration of Shadowbend Studios for your projects.
