@@ronknowles3064 thank you for idea but I am from India most of the local business don't want Website and if they have outdated website they don't want to update I tried a lot 😒 not what I do
I charge based on company size. 25% of their marketing budget. I don't ask for the budget, i assume it. Average marketing budget should be about 8 to 12% of annual revenue. A business with several employees should be bringing in at least 300k. So that's 6k to start for a 10 page site. No eCommerce. That's extra.
Another insightful video Payton! Would you say that productizing your design services is an effective way to combat the ambiguity surrounding pricing? It requires you to consider all the factors you shared and settle on a price, which you can then revisit every 3 or 6 months and readjust as needed.
I created a custom made website that has a headless cms for image gallery and showcasing their upcoming events that leads to their ticket system. For 2k euro, took me a month (could do now quicker + is my first actual project). It also has custom animations added with gsap. How much would've you charged it for @Payton ? Or anyone else? This client was from the Netherlands
This is great for your first project! For me, I would guess I would do this for between $5-10 k but there are a lot of other factors I would need to know to give an accurate estimate
How its going Payton, what do you recommend the best call to action should be on my web design agency website, a contact form or an embedded calandly link where they can book a call?
@@PaytonClarkSmith But how does it work, do you just create a yearly contract that it pays out for you in the end? Or what exactly is the sense about monthly services?
@@PaytonClarkSmith How to implement in I web dev agency/Software Development agency ? becoz generally Web development is kindly a project-based model How to implement it in a Subscription base system?
@@AnomalyTraveler1so basically you want to offer web design amd design services with a 24-48 hour turn around time with one request at a time for a monthly fee
Consider this. If you wanted to make clear 100k annually you world have to do near 30 sites PER MONTH. At 50k annual that's 15 closed and complete sites per month. Not to mention the sales leads you need to go through to close 15 to 30 per month and the time that takes. You'll run yourself into the ground for little to no money. Charge more. Add a 0 to the end of that price.
I have definitely experienced this and it can be difficult. Sometimes it might just mean you are working with the wrong types of clients. There are clients who will happily pay more!
I literally charge 200 dollar for not only designing but also developing a web app with cms and admin controls. 😢 I am still a student so nobody is willing to pay me more. What do I do?
Hundreds of web design door hangers distributed everywhere for...1 lukewarm lead. Meanwhile, a small number of car service door hangers = phone blowing up. Clearly, web designers aren't desperately needed.
I'm not getting any client, the last client approached me for a brewing company website in New Zealand and i proposed a $750 for it but they declined and move forward with someone else
😢 It's crazy that in western countries ppl could charge >$1000 for a company website? I can only around $350 with a goosebump worrying the prospect will seek a cheaper guy
Payton first of all this is not a chatgpt generated comment haha! I watched most of your videos and you are doing a great job in content but lacking in video editing and we could take that burden off from you and help you get more audience retention and likes.
I charged $6500 for my last project, $2k on delivery $125/month x 36 months to spread out the the cost for a campground in my area
I'm still seeking for Clints😢 can you please share your ideas please...

Sometimes what we charge as designers is a direct reflection of our confidence in all levels.

I think a calendly link works much better 👍🏻 at least for me
@@PaytonClarkSmith ok, thanks
I charged 1200 for a local contractor. It's going well so far! Hes been happy with everything, and we'll probably work out a monthly retainer.
Subscription based service is good idea to charge client.??? If I give bunch of services to client as a monthly based charge?????
Yeah this is a good model 👍🏻

My recent project I closed a client at $350. I did multiple site integrations too. It's crazy how guys are getting paid north of $1,000.
Where are you based? Where was your client from?
350 is literally a steal

I would argue there is still a great need for designers 👍🏻 but it takes good strategy and sales skills!

It can hurt to lose out on a deal, I have been there. All you can do is reflect on what you could have done better and improve! You will get there 💪🏼
I charged 1200 for a landscaping site for my friend
Awesome! 🙌🏻
My last project was $750. Wayyyy cheaper than it shoulda been in hind sight.
I feel that way after almost every project! Just keep getting better and raising those prices 💪🏼
