To be honest, we know it's over priced and ultimately we could do it cheaper / for free with the know how. | |

Working on the assumption that this is a company that quoted him rather than a freelancer, it's not that expensive TBH as they would have to pay for staff, office costs, usual company costs etc. etc. especially if the developers get a proper wage and not some bollocks wage like £15k/year or something :lol: | |

That is a shocking price, I do the odd sites, not really CMS stuff but 6 or 7 pages is about £200 and the CMS ones ive done have been about £400, i either need to up my prices or he needs to lower his :lol: | |

quote: He's using "Simple CMS", an off the shelf cms system, and wants to charge an extra £10 for use of stock images. | |

quote: They might have already set it up but it still cost them time and money which they have to recoupe. I would say the cost is a little high but it does depend. If he is writing a completely custom CMS system for you and creating lots of custom graphics for you then its feasible it could cost that much. If your happy with an off the shelf template look website you could pay a lot less but then it will look a lot more off the shelf. | |

quote: Agencies will happily charge double that and infact depending on the job dev work can be silly amounts as well. But i agree that the quote seems a bit OTT for what is being offered, half that would still be a tad expensive (basing this on a few designers i use being around the £200-250 p/d, content writers being a little less and installation and setup of WP being a few hours on top). Either way i'd be wanting to know the break down and what CMS they'd be using. | |

I would expect that kind of price is he is writing a CMS from scratch or using one that he has written (to try and recoup costs for the original dev effort), but not if he's just using an off the shelf package. | |

Yeah, but who charges £50 an hour to do design work? That's expensive even for development work. | |

I wouldn't charge even half of that with a custom written cms. If the guy takes so long to install an out of the box CMS system, I'd question his web design credentials tbh.. | |

They want to charge an extra £10 for each stock image too. | |
