A customer runs a print business and does website design etc. Im cleaning his carpets so might do a swap.
Im looking for a website probably under 10 pages with no e-commerce. Just pics and text.
What all should the price include and how much ballpark so i dont get burnt.
thanks
Mark

£100 - £200

think thats a bit cheap unless it just a template
-
£500 - £750 for a quality site, well worth going the extra mile imo.

Cheap websites are like cheap business cards looking the part is the bit you need to get into the home.

I know you weren't slating it mate. I just posted the reply to give others an option, if money was tight and they couldn't afford to have one done

www.urbanmice.co.uk (http://www.urbanmice.co.uk) he came and stopped at one of our holiday cottages a few years ago, since then he has done all our sites, see below and they have returned many times over.

As you know i design em, my questions would be-
how much per year or is it a one off fee?
how much much for up-dates
send me at least 5 sites that you have got onto page 1 of google for a keyword phase (carpet cleaning your area etc)
speak to the owners of websites he has done and see what they think
-
i think that a realistic price is between £50-100 per page depending on your content.....videos/pics/etc
inho..its the same as carpet cleaners..........you get what you pay for ;D ;D

I paid £200+vat for mine had to choose pics and wright text and they put it together for me. Does it look cheap?

Hi Art
I like your website but in my opinion it would be greatly improved with some better quality picture. You can by pictures of the web as cheap as one pound or take someof your own, this is only my view of course and just a suggestion.
thanks

Thanks Karl, all comments welcome mate and it's something that's been mentioned before.
Were you meaning all the pictures or just some of them?

Hi Art
All them look quite pixelated were they smaller pictures you enlarged? Please don't take photos from other sites as someone did for me and now i have to pay £2000 for copyright infringement.

Mark Roberts
Could you tell me or send info to me of cleaning sites you have created with details of how you get them to the first page of google.
mk.roberts@ntlworld.com
thanks
Mark

me to Mark
mpshannon26@aol.com
but i am sure you will require a fee for that sort of info email anyway to discuss

hi there
website costs vary a lot, there are more and more people offering web and search optimisation services,
the weird thing is they all seem to be able to guarantee top 10 slot on google, well surely they can only sell that to 10 companies.
noboy can guarantee a top 10 listing.
we did our site ourselves, which mean that we can add to it very easily, and whilst i use google adwords, we have a reasonable natural listing, and our line of business does very well, if indeed i had spent say £2k it still would have been money well spent.
you need to decide your busget on a website, which in the end wil come out of your advertsing spend, and then you are in a position to go ahead

True Martin but Mark seems to work miracles on the sites he optimizes i wish i had known about him before i had my site designed.
-
Very true Martin, guaranteeing something you have no control over can be a road to failure, I look at the competition, the keywords that the website wants to aim for and you can quite easily see if the first page is possible.
Btw the way you cant read some of the text on your website in Firefox, that could be 20% of your readers...
What works offline will work online with marketing so there are very few secrets, make sure its clear, well written and easy to use. Most important make sure its in your name so its yours forever.

Hi Mark,
Please email me with your email address, changed computers and lost your details.

For the website + business card, letterhead and compliment slip design I charged them £690.

Getting up in the listings requires a lot of work, I would recommend Mark, our sites can usually be found at the top of page 1 in searches relating to us in this area.
