Do you work as a freelance graphic designer and often hear you should lower your prices? But how could you do that if you want to maintain the quality of your work and stable income? Well, we have a tip for you!
When it comes to web design, or in fact any business in general, the price always matters. The design market is flourishing today and there is plenty of competition going on. Therefore your potential clients have many options to choose from. And of course they will choose your cheaper rival.
Do they consider only the price? Of course not. The quality of work, references or reputation of a designer or creative agency always matters. But often the price is what really cuts the deal. In addition, not every client can spend a huge budget on fancy website creation.
They need a more affordable and smarter solution.
Lower price, lower expectations?
You may be thinking: “OK, but I am better than they are. I can defend my prices.” But is it true? What if they are as good as you are (or even better) but they are just using better tools? They create these amazing websites with bulletproof functionality for half of your price. At the end of the month they have their bills paid and their clients are happy.
How is it possible with cheaper prices? Who will pay for all the designing, coding, SEO or copywriting? Will the website look like a high-school project? What about bad responsibility or slow page speed, that are the most common issues of cheaper websites? We will get to the answer.
The price of coding
Truth is, that normally it can take 4 (or even more) different people to create a website: coder, web designer, SEO professional, copywriter etc. The most expensive item is often web development/coding. According to the portal Daxx.com, development rates in Latin America range from 30€ to 62€/hour; in Eastern Europe, a developer's work will cost 26—57€/hour; the average rates of offshore developers in Asia and Africa are 18—40€/hour.
Now count the number of hours that this would normally take and you can get what? Hundreds to thousands of euros only on coding. But what if you can completely remove this item? And also some of the other items, like SEO or UX design that can also be pricey. This is how:
