How Much To Charge For Websites

[@JollyOli]

Super interesting. It's one of the hardest things to learn how much to charge for your time. Maybe obvious but I would not have thought of charging based on the value to the business rather than just looking at the time I'd spent on it.

[@AdrianTwarog]

It's good to research as that is where most people move towards as they grow in web

[@bakeraus]

Great to see and I love your designs. A lot of people don't realise that $10,000 websites have $10,000 problems, time, meetings, changes they just take longer and have more scope so you are just earning what it's worth. You don't get $10,000 websites with a scope of a $1000 site.

[@AdrianTwarog]

So true!

[@rafaeln.castrom.6453]

That was a gold nugget, man

[@liponsarkar]

Great

[@filetmignon9978]

why not? Like he said a big part of the pricing comes down to the value of the site. A site can solve big problems, but that doesn't mean the scope grows at the same rate.

[@saschamajewsky7990]

Can you make a video about how you tackle the design phase in figma? Or maybe share a figma file with all these grouped views?

[@AdrianTwarog]

Can do!

[@yungxix6343]

I love the whole concept and also for the insight you shared on choosing a tech stack on the completion of projects. The main goal is knowing what the clients want and knowing how to solve them, I do have one question though, how do you handle clients who don't want to spend much on a projects.

[@AdrianTwarog]

You have two options, educate them what the value is, and if that isn't possible, then politely decline. Some people will never spend more than a dim on something they don't recognize valuable, and there is sometimes no easy way to change that

[@yungxix6343]

I strongly agree with you on that..... Thanks man for the extreme value you share, I'm still new in this field and I have been following you for a while now any advice for me.@@AdrianTwarog

[@Prasadavajjhala]

Thank you so much for sharing your portfolio! So much clarity for someone seeking to starting out, esp given it has an Australian context. more videos like this please, thank you

[@AdrianTwarog]

Great to hear :D

[@neilmhart]

This is really helpful, thank you. Maybe you could do a deeper dive into some of your larger projects? I would be fascinated to see how you go about managing one, from the hiring of photographers, videographers etc.

[@AdrianTwarog]

Yeah there is a bit to organising a team like that, can do

[@JordanAF808]

second this, also compared to smaller < $1000 projects, like some of your very first projects.

[@0day133]

Nice video! I have a question, What happens when a customer wants to add a product on a custom website for example, who makes the changes? If it is a WordPress they can make the changes them self because it is easier to understand.

[@AdrianTwarog]

They can hire me on a maintenance contract and I'll do the changes, but many times they want to do it themselves, and then never do

[@punga42]

@@AdrianTwarog Thanks for clearing that up! What do you do about products that clients want to add? Or maybe other types of entries?

[@thedigitalceo]

You can deliver any custom website with a cms backend but as Adrian said I also notice the client never uses it and still asks you to do it 😂

[@Minzalin]

Thank you for your Wordpress tuts. Learned a lot about building custom websites from those.

[@AdrianTwarog]

Great to hear!

[@noahwhite471]

Awesome video Adrian! Just a quick question - did you do the SEO for the websites aswell? Or are you just contracted for the design/development?

[@mjad218]

nice video Adrian ! Do you a video about how you started and got into web development?

that's a good idea, can do that!

[@AdrianTwarog]

Thanks!

[@godswillumukoro8908]

love it. Thanks for making this Adrian

[@masterfine0560]

Are you also charging a monthly rate? When you build a website you have to host it or you leave it to the customer (you just give them the html css js files)? Hosting + domain fees are not to exclude and I believe that the customer is paying for them. But should you add an extra rate on top of that? You are also doing the work to make sure the website is available, maybe linked on a google business... I am seeking some answers mostly for 1k-2k static websites. Nice video now I have more idea on how I could charge on local businesses but I am quite lost on how much I should handle/charge domain, hosting, my managing fees.

[@dorin-trusca]

Precious information, thank you.

[@demetre6473]

Great video! Great explanation

[@scottporter4524]

Extremely helpful video! So who maintains and admins the webpage after you create it? Do you transfer ownership & responsibility of everything once you've created it? Seems like it'd be a great way to make some passive income is to charge them a monthly fee to be responsible for maintaining it.

[@talyahr3302]

Great question and I had similar thoughts.

[@samirsamir7779]

Hi Adrian , your content is always awesome as usually :) , please could you make a video to let us know exactly some proven ways to make some good money with freelancing as a developer.. thank you ;)

[@jonathancarter2347]

Very helpful. I’d like to see a deeper dive into how the prices are calculated. In other words how to quantify? Thanks!!!

[@rohancaulvin]

Do you have any videos on how to get clients and how do you reach them?

[@Squagem]

You need to at least double your pricing mate -- you're generating INSANE value for your clients (even with the simple WP templates). You need to be charging for that!

[@emilysmith1000]

Very interesting, thank you

[@AdrianTwarog]

Good to hear :)

[@moemenchalouati4182]

nice video, btw did u do any projects without having to do the design, just the development part ?

[@TheItchybutthole]

Freelancing is literally you creating a business. What most people do is make connections so that when they do projects they have a design person or a video editing person they know can do those parts for them.

[@moemenchalouati4182]

@@TheItchybutthole thnx for clarifying that, i'm worried that i might have to do design work because I've tried it and i really hate it.

[@AdrianTwarog]

never actually! all projects required design

[@atvnbi]

thank you for this video. it's really insightful. does the pricing covers the cost of of domain and hosting? if so, how much does those eat into the the final price?

[@AdrianTwarog]

Hosting and domain are separate, and depending on the clients needs usually

[@realtouseef]

So, what I think is that money is there is developing websites but it requires skill. I'm also in web development, and learned a bit of animations and the only advice by me is to practice to get better, thr next step would be to get clients.

[@munchkinm6929]

Extremely informative 👏

[@Tenly2009]

After delivery - how much does the customer pay you monthly to support and maintain each site? Or do you just turn over the final product and let them support it themselves? Did any of those designs include a chatbot or a live chat feature? How much extra would adding those features have cost?

[@raulalvarado1421]

[@mikeallen578]

Thanks, that got my juices flowing. Now I can justify my price tag.

[@DevoutJourney]

I’m curious, so I’m trying to get started on upwork and fivver. I’m fairly new but I want to just go for it. When it comes to timelines for delivering a final product how do you establish your timeline? Just based on your confidence level? Also, do they supply you with all of the images and videos, and a preferred color pallete?

[@bruceniyibitanga]

Hi Adrian, Love your videos! Could you make a video about how one can start an agency like you did? Would love to learn how to start my own business but don’t really know how to go about it and would love to learn as I can. Is it better to code the website from scratch or use website builders such as Webflow and Editor X? These are some of the questions I have. Appreciate all your help and time!

[@mirm0n]

I think it's important to note how much each website takes to finish in each price range

[@andyl9920]

For an expert with 10plus years of experience. A simple webpage, no sales, maybe 2 hours?

[@stephanpaul8954]

do you make all the figma designs? also you mentioned "custom videos" are you the one doing these videos?

Your work is truly impressive, particularly given that all the websites were created using Wordpress. However, if you desire something more customized with additional features, a custom website would be a better choice. Keep in mind that it will come at a higher cost.

[@Solomon_TY]

What are the payments plans you give to clients, do you sign a contract with them, dou you make them pay full payments or part payment before you start the project??? You never spoke about that ?? Why??

So, your business model is based on how much a person makes how much you’re gonna make off them. So, if Bill Gates came to you and ask for a website, you’d be aiming at quoting $100 million with that boat logic you were saying in your video. I will just work out my living expenses, and ask a fair price for the time I put in. If you work 40 hours on a project, you’ll get at least 40 hours worth of money. Do you hear yourself speak?
