• How many years have you been working in web design?

  I've been working in the digital media space since 1998, and in web design since 2000. My experience goes far beyond traditional web design.

• How much does a typical web design package cost?

  A typical web design package can vary widely depending on scope and complexity. As a reference, a stylish one-page landing site usually starts around $2,000 USD, while a more dynamic, multi-page website generally ranges between $3,000–5,000 USD or more. The exact cost depends on several factors, such as the number of pages and sections, the complexity of navigation and features, whether full content and media are provided or need to be created, and the level of polish required for prototypes. Optional add-ons like motion design, detailed documentation, or ongoing collaboration with your development team can also influence the budget. My approach is transparent: - Once we agree on a scope, I guarantee delivery within that plan and absorb any miscalculations on my side. - The only adjustments to cost or timeline come from client-requested changes beyond the initial agreement, or from hidden elements not presented before the design process begins. - This way, you get clarity upfront, flexibility when needed, and the reassurance that your investment matches the value delivered. My pricing evolves over time, but the structure remains the same with three options: 1) Rate per hour – for any project, any size. 2) Rate per day – for medium or larger projects (or complex small ones). 3) Flat rate – for recurring clients, large-scale, or very complex projects with bigger budgets. These options can be mixed when needed; for example, adding daily or hourly rates on top of a flat package for extra work. Ask for my latest rates and request your personalized quotation today.

  I can provide a wide range of files and formats tailored to your project's specific needs. The exact deliverables depend on the project scope and the package you choose.

I can also provide basic .js or .php files if they are necessary for a prototype's functionality. I do not, however, do any back-end coding. Documentation & Prototypes The final documentation and prototypes are delivered in a way that is easy for you and your team to use. - Documentation Formats: Our documentation is typically provided in PDF, but I can also deliver it in formats like Microsoft Office (.docx, .xlsx, .pptx) or Google Workspace (Google Docs, Sheets, Slides). I am also flexible and can use your preferred project management platform, such as Notion or Airtable. Prototypes: Prototypes can be delivered in a variety of ways depending on the project's requirements: - Access to live Figma or Framer projects and prototypes. - A temporary, working website prototype on a private or hidden URL. - Other types of prototypes, such as animated GIFs or interactive mock-ups.

• How much time does it take on average to design a website?

  The timeline for a website project varies greatly and is directly tied to its complexity. There is no single average, as a project's length depends on several key factors. The most significant factors are the scope and features of the website, including the number of pages, the kind of functionality required (such as an e-commerce store or a booking system), and whether it will include custom animations or interactive effects. The project's timeline is also heavily influenced by content, specifically if I am responsible for writing copy, creating videos, or sourcing images. After we have a detailed discussion about your specific needs and expectations, I will provide a clear project timeline. My goal is to deliver efficient and high-quality work, so I will not rush a project or compromise on quality to meet an unrealistic deadline. However, I am committed to finding a solution. If your deadline is tight, we can explore a phased approach or bring in trusted partners to accelerate the process, for an additional fee. To give you a general idea, a small, static landing page could take a couple of weeks to deliver a full package. In contrast, a large-scale project with multiple sections, custom features, and extensive content can take two months or more to complete. My priority is to protect my work and reputation while delivering a final product that you will be proud of.
