What Does a Good Web Designer Do & What Should They Cost? 

If you’re not sure about what web designers do or how much a website costs, this guide is for you! 

 

Creating your business website can be overwhelming. The first step is to find a suitable web designer that you can trust to create the website that you envision. 

Good Web Designer

To begin the process of finding the right web designer, check out Google reviews to see what people are saying and check whether their previous work matches what you’re looking for? Another great option is to ask other business associates or friends for their recommendations. 

At Website Designs Brisbane, we’ll address all your questions about creating a professional website, so you can feel confident moving forward! 

What does a web designer do?

Our goal is to understand your vision and turn it into a stunning website. 

 

A process that is tried and tested is required in website building. We have a design-first approach based on our years of experience. 

 

We will start by prototyping each web page through wire framing. After that, we add a design layer on top. 

 

Imagine this: if a house is already built, then you decide to change the architecture and layout, you will spend more money. 

 

Likewise, to avoid additional expenses, before we build your website, we will let you decide on design adjustments up front. We will show you a representation of your website, before we start the website build! 

 

We believe in working closely together. You’ll get to share your thoughts on the layout and give us important feedback on the design before we move forward with development. 

Why does a good website cost so much?

Our pricing is based on the considerable time we put into every project. 

 

Even a simple website demands many hours of work, covering project management, design, development, content integration, quality checks, onsite SEO, and ensuring compatibility across different devices. 

 

Will a website effectively serve its purpose if someone isn’t putting in this level of time and effort? I believe the answer is no. 

 

Ultimately, a well-performing and attractive website is an investment in the success of your business. 

Is there any way I can make my website more affordable?

Having a clear picture of what your website will look like and the required functionality will help with the process of creating your website. Also, having all the information, images and logos required for the website prepared in advance can save a lot of time and therefore cost. 

Can my website be built for free?

It can be free of cost if you have the skills to build a website from scratch. There are cheaper options, such as Squarespace, Shopify and Wix.  

 

Remember though, picking these platforms means you’re stuck with the software and template you choose. If you want full control over your site, you’ll have to switch to WordPress later.  

 

We set up a ‘self-hosted’ solution. We build your own WordPress setup, hosted on your account, so you have complete ownership and control. 

Do I have to pay anything extra after my website is built?

Ideally, you should have a maintenance package to ensure your website continues to run smoothly.  

 

This can include hosting your website, updating WordPress and plugins the various plugins as required as well as making regular backups of your site (just in case something should go wrong).  

Why should I invest money in my website?

Your website, if built well, becomes a long-term investment. It will act as your digital storefront and should be your top sales representative online! 

 

Money spent on your website is never a waste if it consistently generates high-quality leads and inquiries.
