How much for a web designer

[amhsolutions]

I know this has most likely been asked a thousands times. I am looking to get one of my sites revamped, I have always used either American designers or Indians etc.

Wanted to know what the current rate is for a UK web designer? Ecommerce site.

That's the million dollar question...

What platform is your ecommerce site built on?

Maybe this article will help you a bit, https://www.whichwebdesigner.co.uk/blog/how-much-for-a-web-designer-28

I am sure some of the web designers on here will be able to give you some idea.

It can vary so much depending on what you want to achieve with it.

Software used - e.g OpenCart, WooCommerce, Magento
Integration with other platforms? e.g. Ebay, Amazon
Shipping methods
Payment methods
Data Entry required
Logo and branding work required?
Bespoke functionality needed
Target audience

Any decent developer or agency will go through an extensive planning and dicussion phase with you to identify all the user requirements and key functionality before giving you a price. They'll look at the marketplace you are planning to launch in and offer tailored advice as to the best chance of succeeding.

Avoid pre packaged E-Commerce 'plans' as you will inevitably get stung for any functionality that's out of the box.

From our perspective E-Commerce sites tend to sit in a range of £3500-£5000 with some a lot higher when there is bespoke coding involved that is unique for the business.

You also need a significant marketing budget to get it up and running unless you are operating in a very niche market.

Thanks Ryedale

I have a good marketing budget, and it also ranks very well for quite a few keywords. The site was built from scratch and is coded from scratch.

Magento is the software used. Always loved working with this.

 

[zigojacko]

Which is it? Built/coded from scratch or built on Magento? It can't be both.

Or are you saying you have a completely custom build website that you would like to migrate to the Magento platform?

We specialise in working with Magento and will design and develop from a blank canvas or boilerplate usually starting upwards of £3k.

It depends a lot, there are so many factors that it is not possible to name an exact number. More professional designer will ask for higher price and that is absolutely normal.

current rate is for a UK web designer

The OP asked 'rate'. The UK average design agency rate is just £640 per day ( £80 per hour ) although viable agencies tend to charge the equivalent of £800+ per day.

You can find experienced freelancers from anywhere between £35 and £110 per hour, you can find junior devs and graphics designers as low as £25 per hour.

Very few UK web designers actually like to work ( or publish) at an hourly rate or day rates, as their clients generally prefer a fixed price 'quote'. It is the same as any trade where something is built, whether it is a website or an extension to your house.

Sadly you are literally asking 'How long is a piece of string' - there is no set price and everything is charged at very different prices.

 

[fisicx]

And it maybe you need a developer not a designer. Or both.

 

[Yana Yelina]

You can see approximate prices on Upwork

Not many UK Web designers on Upwork.

What about a premium web site at affordable price?
Do you have an idea what you want to have in the end?

 

[Wesley@Create]

For a full e-commerce store we would usually charge £649 ex VAT as an idea of cost. This includes full design, on page SEO and support

 

[webmto]

What do you mean by full design? Which platform?

 

[Wesley@Create]

Full design by a development team, including a free concept design and sub page/ product page design so that the content, imagery and iconography are arranged professionally to create an engaging environment for your users. We use Wordpress due to it's adaptability, world popularity and content management system in the back end for you.

 

[webmto]

So you develop a brand new WordPress theme for each customer?

 

[Wesley@Create]

Yes indeed. Key to getting a useful production tool is providing a bespoke design to illustrate our clients dream.

 

[webmto]

Of course. The theme once ready can be uploaded and installed via WordPress theme manager, "Add new", isn't it?

 

[Wesley@Create]

I believe so but I'm afraid I am not a developer myself, just the intermediary for our company.

 

[webmto]

I'm confused. What do you mean by intermediary?

 

[Wesley@Create]

I am the Business Development Manager at Cheap Web Design so I am the intermediary between our professional developers and our potential clients

The OP hasn't been back since the posted so this discussion is irrelevant. Closing the thread
