35€ per hour for personal and 50€ per hour for businesses, all the types of services included. Depending on the readiness of the content, a simple website can be delivered with 30 hours of work. For deeper explorations, customizations and special features like multi-lingual website, shopping cart, complex registration forms etc, it might need 50+ hours of work from my side. A general estimate for a personal website can be between 1200-1800 €. I can offer a more precise estimate when the scope of the work is clearer. If there are financial restrictions we might be able to work it out, by making the payment in multiple installments, or finding creative ways to spend less time on customizations.

Aside from this, you will need to cover the cost of:

1. website hosting, around 80€/year for a single website
2. professional page builder software, 60€/year for a single website
3. domain name (for special domains such as .tr .uk etc)
4. cost of professional softwares for additional features, such as multi-lingual, shopping cart, online booking etc… this will be estimated when I know the scope of the work.

• basic setup of the software, including the required plugins, which includes template framework, security, seo and statistics software
• live conversations over Skype (listening sessions)
• finding design resources such as fonts, icons, images, designing layouts
• training on updating the website

There is a proportion for live listening sessions, maximum 20% of the whole project. For a 40-hour project there will be around 8 hours of live connection / mentoring sessions. If the need exceeds this, additional sessions can be offered at the rate of 60€ per hour.

Well… yes and no. Our explorations of your work can lead us to find clear symbols, colors, design elements, fonts and other material that can shape a clear identity. If needed, I can also support with the design of logo, letter head, business card etc based on the same rate mentioned above. But this is generally not included in the main process.

This process does not include a focused search engine optimization service. The software and the code I am using is search engine-friendly. Through the process of making the website I can offer some basic suggestions on the dynamics of search engine optimization, to see wether you need it or not, and how you can proceed with it by yourself.

It is the same story for online marketing. I can offer you some basic guidelines to do it by yourself. Putting links of social media, or newsletter subscription forms are included in this process.

I highly encourage you to learn to work on your website by yourself. A training will be offered at the end of the process, showing you how to modify, add, and remove different section of the website. For some structural changes you will need technical support. If it rests within the scope of the initial work, like fixing problems, there will be no additional costs involved.

In case you would like me to add new content, re-design some sections, add new features, it will be offered at a rate of 35€/hour (50€ for companies). Of course we will negotiate this beforehand.

Based on the features of the website we might use WordPress or Joomla, or in rare cases another content management system. On top of that, I use a professional software (page builder framework) which adds the following advantages:

• Ability to save time and cost in development of clean and dynamic websites
• Ability to edit and modify the content with ease
• Presenting the website based on latest web standards, fast loading, and responsive to mobiles and tablets
