This is where the KsN difference becomes very clear.  I did quite a bit of research in this area, thinking it would be difficult to come up with a pricing structure for all of the elements involved in creating a web site.  Then it occurred to me that if the site itself is based on simplicity, then the cost should be too.  

One. Flat. Rate.

How simple is that?  I charge a flat rate of $75 per hour.  No upfront costs, no hidden fees.  No confusion.  And your initial consultation of up to one hour is no charge.  In addition to my charges, you would be responsible for all Domain Registration, Hosting, and E-Commerce related charges (but I'd be glad to help you set them up).

I keep a detailed, time-tracking spreadsheet for each client, and convert that to an invoice every month.  I believe this rate is very competitive (I know of developers that charge $150-$200 per hour).  Unfortunately you DON'T always get what you pay for in this business, so make sure you know exactly what you're getting before you hire someone.   

So How Much For My Site?

It really is hard to estimate what a site will cost without knowing something about the business and what the client needs are.  Here's an example: 

A one page site with basic graphics and features could take me as few as 2 hours, so that would be $150.  Domain Registration can be as little as $7.95 per year, and quality Hosting as little as $8.95 per month.  So for $150 and about $10 per month your business could be online.  What are you waiting for?

Adding or including E-Commerce will add to those costs, but how much depends on the type of business, number of products, etc.
