Web design cost varies a great deal from one designer to the next. In fact, it is safe to say there is no universally accepted price for any web design project.
However, in this article, I will attempt to give you an idea of what it will cost you to design a functional quality website. The breakdown I give here will be greatly influenced by my own 12-year experience as a web developer and interaction with several other top-notch web designers in Nigeria.
The cost of creating a website can be divided into 4 basic categories. These include;
- Domain Name,
- Hosting fee,
- SSL Certificate and
- programmer’s fee.
Note: SSL certificate is now a must for all browsers and search engines. So if your site doesn’t have it, it will be flagged as insecured. That alone is a big dent on your reputation. So, therefore, it’s now a must-have feature.
So below is an outline of all the monies you are likely to spend on your next web design project. Also beware that since there is no fixed price, I will stick to price ranges. Finally, Naira/dollar exchange rate fluctuation is one of the most important factors you need to have in mind. For the purpose of this article, exchange rate is pegged at NGN750/dollar
