Agreed with the above, I know it sucks when the only response you get to pricing information is “It depends” but that’s literally how it is.

I was recently having a conversation with another local design business about their pricing “packages”, I don’t want to hijack your thread but I think it’s in the same category, for the reasons Josh said, every project is unique so the idea of generalizing packages is difficult..

Just take EVERY project’s unique requirements, work out how long those tasks are going to take you (be generous and add a few for problems) then multiply that by your hourly wage.

So for example, a small business website:

  • Home

  • About Us

  • Our Services

  • Testimonials

  • Contact Us

I would bill anywhere from 15+ hours design. 4-8 hours HTML/CSS conversion, then 10-20 for wordpressn’… then a couple extra for meetings, design resources if needed, and overhead. Obviously these are just estimates, project complexities, your skill, and many other factors make it impossible to give any form of accuracy.
