Creating Intuitive UI/UX Design

A basic small business site with 5 - 10 pages runs for $1,500-6k. Usually template-based with some customisation, mobile responsive, and contact forms. Takes 2-8 weeks.

Professional custom site for your business? $3-10k. Fully custom design, better functionality, proper SEO, and some copywriting help. Figure 4-12 weeks.

Complex sites or e-commerce? $5-40k+, sometimes way more. Customise everything, payment processing, user accounts, and booking systems. You're looking at 12-24 weeks minimum.

What pushes the price up? More pages, obviously. Custom illustrations and animations. Professional photography and copywriting (add $500-2k). Full branding package with logo design (another $1-5k). Advanced features that need development work.

You could go DIY with Wix or Squarespace for about $10-50/month, but you're limited. Freelancers are $1,500-9k, and quality varies. Agencies cost more ($3-40k+), but you get the whole team and better results.

What kind of site are you thinking of? We can give you a proper estimate.

Web designers charge $20-150/hour depending on experience.

Juniors are $20-40/hour. Mid-level is $40-75/hour - that's your sweet spot. Seniors run $75-100/hour. Specialists with 10+ years hit $100-150/hour.

Agencies cost more, anywhere from $40/hour for small shops to $200/hour for big agencies.

Most designers prefer fixed project pricing anyway. For a typical small business site, expect them to put in 40-120 hours total - discovery, design, revisions, all that.

Mid-level designers at $50-70/hour give you the best bang for your buck. They work independently and won't drain your budget.

Want a quote for your project? Let's talk through what you need.

The landing page takes 1-2 weeks. A small business site with 5-10 pages takes 2-8 weeks. A professional business site takes 4-12 weeks. E-commerce takes 10-16 weeks. Complex enterprise stuff takes 12-40 weeks, sometimes longer.

The process usually goes like this: a couple of weeks figuring out strategy and what you need, a week or two planning structure and wireframes, and 3-6 weeks on actual design - homepage first, since that sets the visual direction, then internal pages. Content creation happens alongside design (2-4 weeks if we're writing it). Development takes 4-10 weeks after design is done. A few weeks of testing and fixing bugs, and then launch.

What makes projects faster? Having your content ready upfront. One person making decisions instead of a committee. Quick feedback - like within 2-3 days. Clear scope from the start. Using your existing brand guidelines.

What drags things out? Changing your mind about features halfway through. Multiple people all want different things. Slow approvals. Delayed content. Significant design changes after you've already approved stuff.

Do you need something done by a specific date? Let's assess whether it's realistic and map out the timeline.
