How Much Should Website Design Cost in 2021?
What Goes into a Making a Winning Website Design
To answer this question we must first consider the type of website you are trying to build.
INFORMATIONAL
Informational sites generally present your visitors with details about your company’s history, capabilities, products/services, and a contact form. Those are the basics that can be augmented with animated design components, layered navigational buttons, a homepage slideshow, and so on. The combinations generally cause projects to fall in the $10K-$25K range.
E-COMMERCE
Websites that sell your company’s wares online require individual products/services pages, the shopping cart, and checkout capabilities, as well as security parameters to be built in. Additionally, you’ll have to craft your terms and conditions, shipping, and return policies. Depending upon the number of categories and items, as well as the behind-the-scenes management flexibility, your fees can typically range between $15K-$35K. You can go through the list of eCommerce Development Companies to find the one that fits your needs best.
MULTI-FUNCTIONAL
Beyond the two types of sites listed above, there is a third category… not for the faint of heart. Multi-functional websites include elements that enable interactivity between users and site owners. Often, we connect public-facing websites to our Clients’ accounting and CRM systems via APIs. Site visitors can be entertained and re-marketed based upon actions that trigger emails and promotions in real-time. Our team creates solutions that automate your business processes via the website! Comrade Digital Marketing Agency’s fees for these types of multi-functional websites have spanned $30K, up to six figures.
Many of our clients, at the beginning of their process, ask “how much does website design cost?” But as you you can see, variables all play a role in answering that question.
Remember, though, features and functionality are just the idealized front-end of a finished product. Our process for creating successful online platforms includes a slew of activities that guarantee you high-quality, uniquely designed, bug-free functionality throughout your website. We design and develop mobile-responsive layouts to ensure the best UI/UX for your customers whether they’re using a laptop, tablet, or smartphone.
What Components Make Up a Truly Special Website?

- Resource pages with media downloads
- Interactive forms that adapt to users’ answers, on the fly
- Streaming video. If a picture is worth 1000 words, then video is worth 1000 pictures!

- Marketing-oriented copy

Once the website is launched, we help with technical maintenance, ongoing SEO services, and inbound marketing.
