How much does a website cost.

I hear this question all the time.  Asking how much a website costs to build without any details is about the same as asking how much does a house cost, which is impossible to answer because there is not enough information to calculate a cost.

 

With just a few details we can get a fairly accurate web design quote put together.  Our basic website package price is 600 and that is for a fully custom website.   Adding content management system and other functionalities increases the cost.

 

I often hear how much for a cheap single page site.  Here at unique we make all of our graphics for each project so there is a lot of customization for every project regardless of how simple it is.

 

We also have website payment plans which we can provide to anyone, no credit checks or anything.  So contact us today for a quote for your project.

Cheap Logo Design, Not Really Cheap In Reality

In the web design industry we have 2 types of clients, we have the “how much is it”s and “I want this”s. These two types differ greatly, the first type, the “how much is it”s leads with that question and typically they want something cheap. The other kind, the “I want this”s know what they want and they are willing to pay to have it done right. Here at UNIQUE we have both of these daily, and we build sites for both. With prices starting at $600 for a completely custom design we can usually please everyone.

I have been wanting to touch on the “cheap ways” for a while now and really show what the difference is. So the other day I found a budget logo designer and paid for 2 projects. I chose 2 designs that I currently was working on myself for clients so that I would have comparisons. Now obviously if my “cheap designs” had turned out good I would not be writing this right now, but as expected they came out garbage.

Before we dive into the work let me explain a little about design, specifically our design process. When we design a logo we make the rough draft and with that rough draft we use a program to scan the internet to find similar or same images. If our new design comes back with no matches then we are typically good. But if something comes back too similar then we make something new. Why go to all this trouble? Well a company’s logo is probably one of the most important visual elements they have and if it is the same as someone else then it is not really unique, plus there are the trademark and copyright issues that are also important to avoid. When we design a logo we take all these measures to ensure that the user gets something truly UNIQUE and that reflects positively on their business.

The Cheap Designs

Now let’s get into the designs, I gave the designer some basic instructions. Simple, clean, and modern and here is what I received.

As you see both are quite bad, the first looks like a descent concept but it is very glitchy in the curves.

Here is the Real Design

Now here is the logo that we designed for the same project, and of course the client loved it.

Here are some other logos that we have designed.

Conclusion

Getting it done right the first time may cost a bit more initially, but getting a professional design, that has been checked to make sure that it is legal and original to use, the first time, saves you time and money in the long run. Paying for 2,3 maybe even more designs can get expensive, far more expensive than just paying for it initially to be done right.

New Press Release

With Google logging more than 2 billion searches per day the web has become an integral part of most businesses, even businesses that have been around for many years are having to build a presence on the web to continue to grow their business. Growing a web presence as many know is not an easy process and finding the correct company to design and manage a program is probably more complicated than ever. With what seems to be an endless supply of so called web designers how does one pick the right one?

Well UNIQUE Advertising Solutions + Graphic Design makes that choice a little bit easier. They have broken the traditional web design company mold with in-house financing. With a partial payment to start and payments as low as $100 per month it has never been more affordable to have a professionally built website. UNIQUE does a lot of things differently, with roots as a marketing company there is a solid understanding of advertising works. Building a successful website is far more than simply making a cool design.

A website is nothing more than a sales tool, sometimes that tool drives customers to a physical store or restaurant and sometimes it closes the sale before the user leaves the website. These variables are extremely important. A website should drive it’s users to the website owners ultimate goal, whatever that may be. To make that happen the web designer needs to have a solid grasp on marketing to specific demographics, and this is something UNIQUE thrives at.
With UNIQUE’s in-house financing programs and their unique out of the box style they are an affordable and solid web design solution for any business that is trying to build a web presence

There’s more to a website….

There are literally thousands of website designers out there but as with many things they are not all created equally.  Learning to write code and put a website together is not nearly as hard as most would think.  There are many elements to a website, far more than just the code.

You can think of a website as a map for the user, creating that map is easy but making the user take the route you want them to take can be far more challenging.  Let’s take a look at the basics of a website, usually the main objective is to make a sale or create a lead.  Many designers overlook this basic fact and spend all their efforts driving traffic to a site.  But in all reality if you get 10000 hits a day and the site does not convert those hits into sales then that traffic is useless.  That’s where the psychology of a website comes into play.

Creating a website that drives its users to the goal is the key to a profitable website. This is what really sets UNIQUE apart from many others out there, we take all these variables into consideration.

I can’t count how many clients I’ve had over the years that paid some big company to build their site and spent sometimes 20,000+ for a site that looks really nice but doesn’t do it’s number one job, convert.   It’s unfortunate that this happens and in most cases the designer has no idea they are missing a critical piece of the puzzle.
