Each website is unique.  What may seem like “just a blog” can be much more involved than one might think.  You may use this pricing guide as a starting point, but additions of forums, forms, membership profiles, extra pages, event calendars, podcasts, directories and a multitude of other options creates a bigger project and thus, more work and consultation.

Small business websites, while they may include a blog, are definitely more involved.  Community and magazine-style websites, that involve forums, member profiles, social media interfaces and more… you can expect those to be more elaborate projects and require even more expertise. Rarely is a project “just a blog”. Please keep this in mind when estimating your budget for your project.

Also check out “How much does a web design cost?” in our FAQ for more information about pricing.

Please fill out the Request for Proposal (RFP) form as thoroughly as possible, checking off the add-ons you’d like and filling in the comment area with the details of your project.  We will contact you with any questions we may have and set up a time to discuss your project further on the phone before preparing your detailed proposal. We appreciate serious inquiries only, please.

Depending on the availability of your designer, we can work with a modest budget. You might not be able to get everything on your website wishlist, but we can certainly try to work within your budgetary restrictions. If we cannot, we’ll tell you straight away. We’re not here to yank your charitable chain.

Everyone has a different definition of “a simple website"or “just a blog”.  One person might assume a “simple website” includes 25 pages, poodles that jump through flaming hoops, a self-filling contact form and a gift certificate to Costco.  While another person might think a simple website is just a one-page deal.  It’s tricky for us to give you a ballpark without some indication of what your expectations are.

We don’t have a set-in-stone price list for several reasons. Your needs are not the same as the next guy, nor his the same as the nice lady before him. Everyone wants something a little bit different. The Moxie Girls™ being able to accommodate those needs is the reason you’re here. 

If you provide us with important details about what you want from your website, such as what the site is for, how much content and what type, if you need a logo, etc., then we can provide you with a detailed estimate for your individual project… with pleasure!  Check out our FAQ on what to budget for your web project.  If you’re interested, just fill in that handy Request for Proposal (RFP) and you’re on your way.

• How Much Should Web Site Design, Development and Hosting Cost? by Solo Signal

There is, but it’s minimal.  Every company has costs of doing business and most companies roll those costs (usually inflated) into their prices so the buyer is never aware of them.  So, even if you pay by check, you’d still be paying for the cost of the company’s credit card processing.

We could roll it into business costs, but that would increase the project estimates.  Rather than pick a hearty flat rate, we feel it’s more fair to let those fees be based on the project itself.  It’s not fair for you to pay a higher rate processing rate if your project is smaller or someone with a gigantic project to pay less when they might have a significantly higher estimate… and vice versa.  In any case, it’s a cost of doing business that would manifest itself in your invoice one way or another — we’re just up front about it.  You always have the option of paying by check for free.

No, indeed.  Please see “Will you build us a huge site for free?”

Nope. No, we sure won’t. That is, unless you are offering to pay all of our bills for a year. Then we might consider it. While we’d love to be able to offer free services, be it “just a quickie” or a full-blown site, we just can’t keep a roof over our heads doing so. If you are a current or prospective client, we are happy to answer any questions you may have. But, if you’re looking to see how much friendly assistance you can get for free, please keep on truckin’.

Whether you realize it or not, what you’re asking for is called “spec work” (short for ‘speculative’) and we don’t jive with that.  If you’re seeking an experienced designer with integrity, you shouldn’t jive with “spec” either.  We encourage you to read more about spec work and learn why it’s the design industry equivalent of flatulence at a dinner party.
