now, about my fee..

Since every commission is unique, I can't give a one-size-fits-all price, but as a guide, recent commissions have started at around £500 for a basic updateable website. These websites include an unlimited number of 'standard' pages and all the admin facilities you need to keep your site up to date.

Special features such as forums and photo galleries can be added individually as required, so you only pay for the extra features you're actually going to use. The development fee also includes 100MB hosting for the first year.

Custom web applications and e-commerce solutions start from around £1,000 and can be quoted for on an hourly, daily or per-project basis depending on size. Please contact me with your requirements for an estimate.

If you do not already have a domain name, I will arrange registration at cost price. The current price of a co.uk domain from 123-Reg is £6.79 for two years.

Prices are summarised below. VAT is not currently payable:

Bespoke Website (including first year's hosting) from £500.00
Hosting (per year after the first year) from £50.00 1
Domain Name Registration (.co.uk for two years) £6.79 2

I accept payment by electronic bank transfer (BACS), or by credit/debit card via Google Checkout .
