What is a fair price for web design??

I am in the process of deconstructing my current websight and then rebuilding it (hopefully using most of it as a template). Would like to use a local that is accessible and can update quickly. Was wondering what a fair price would be? I have had several quotes with the lowest being $750 with no hosting fees. Is that close to industry standard? Just curious if I'm getting taken to the cleaners as that does sound like a lot for a one-shot deal. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Dave

That sounds really cheap. I would be really careful.

Make sure you get references of work. Make sure YOU own your domain, not them.

My site was not cheap, but they did a great job. http://www.life-gear.net You can find a link to their site on my LINKS page.

The question you have to ask before deciding on a price is: What do you want in a website?

I had the BBC v2.0 built by a local company for $1500. Half of the other quotes I received. That was around year 2000. Find a steak/beer/food loving web-person and do the whole thing in trade. You'll still pay for hosting.

Call me or send a PM if I can help.

Damn Dave, you know more about me than me! Still can't figure out how to shrink that discipline logo to fit into the avatar.....I'll be in touch and Thanks!!-Dave

I hired someone to do a website for one of my domains a few years ago. Price was cheap and I didn't even get what I paid for. Words were spelled wrong, suddenly all my email was moving thru his server. In short it was a nightmare.

My current sites are built by me using front page. One is hosted by GoDaddy.com for $3.99 per month.

Front Page is reasonable easy to use if you've worked with any other MicroSoft product.

I think the suggestion to find someone to trade out with was a good one. You might also contact the folks at Ivy Tech to see if they can recommend someone or have an about-to-graduate student looking for work.

Dave,
for a good Restaurant site expect to pay between $1500 and $3000. you want someone that knows how to get you in the search engines and has knowledge of the current standards.
