Pricing

Here are the most common prices I am asked for. Billing is managed through QuickBooks software, and everything is clearly itemised on invoices so you know what you are being billed for.

Web designs
Priced on a per-page basis, plus a set-up fee. A "page" is roughly an A4 equivalent. Price includes as much text and graphics as can be fitted on the page, although large amounts of image or text scanning, coding (e.g. Javascript), and animations, are charged extra at the hourly rate. As a rough guide, an average 3 page static site would be £235+VAT, 5 pages £325+VAT, and 10 pages £550+VAT. Content-managed/dynamic or e-commerce sites tend to start at around £500+VAT (additional software costs are incurred). Connecting Somerset funded sites can be 50% cheaper.

Web space
Starting from 10MB of web space managed on your behalf by myself, for £85+VAT per annum. Plenty of space for basic sites and some clients run two or three static sites within this quota at no extra charge. For larger sites, 50MB or 100MB chunks are available from £170+VAT per annum.

Domain name registration, hosting and administration
A two-yearly fee of £60+VAT covers everything to do with your domain name, from finding a suitable one (if required), registering it through the appropriate authority, hosting it and setting up the email routing (including basic spam filtering), and troubleshooting any domain-related problems as we go along, to acting as your domain administrator for ICANN or Nominet matters.

Adwords
£75+VAT setup fee, and then a management fee which works out to about 150% of your monthly Google Adwords budget, which includes your Google fee payment, the invoice for which must be settled in the following month to allow the campaign to continue.

Web site statistics and live chat
Simple stats for referrals, popular pages, keywords used to find you, etc., based on the rolling last 500 hits to your site are just £25+VAT to set up as a one-off fee. Real-time statistics with live chat and call-back facilities are available from £10+VAT per month plus a £75+VAT set-up fee.

Site visits
If you require me to come out and help you with something such as your Contribute, Actinic or Whoson installation on-site, these are billed at £55+VAT per hour including half of travel time. But small jobs like quick 5 or 10 minute site updates, and email and telephone support for clients (unless separately agreed as supporting a specific piece of work) are free of charge and there is no premium rate number to call.
