Wilmington NC Hotels

How we charge for websites

We require 50% up front and 50% when the site is complete. That way, you secure our time so we can begin working on the site.

For example, let's say I have 2 customers, A and B. Customer A is willing to pay 50% up front but Customer B does not. Whose site do you think I'm going to work on first?

Let's say I spend 2 weeks working on a design for Customer B who did not pay a deposit. Customer B decides to leave and let a competitor work on their website. I just spent 2 weeks, not getting paid, not working on another site and not out looking for more work.

I am interested in how other designers and developers out there charge for their websites/projects. Feel free to leave a comment.

How to install Wordpress

Go their website and read the instructions - http://wordpress.com/

However, if you cannot figure it out or you just don't have the time to mess with it, give me a call and I can help you out. I have installed it plenty of times for other sites I have worked on.

Call now! 1.910.538.6731 use the Contact page contact form to send me an email.


On a side note, I saw this job post on Craigslist today:

We need the following today:

- Someone to setup Wordpress on our host
- Take our custom/ branded CSS and create a Wordpress template
- Install the new custom template to the Wordpress blog

Send hourly/ project rate and examples of your work. This should not take you more than 2 hours.

I find it amusing how someone who does NOT know how to install Wordpress, much less create a custom Wordpress template, know that this type of project should only take 2 hours. Without seeing the complexity of the design, it would be impossible to quote an accurate estimate on the time needed.
