Web Design – Which Is Better Fixed or Hourly Rate

If you have been, browsing and looking for a web design company or designer, chances are that you have seen some that actually bill you by the hour; this is also true to some companies that offer web design fixed rate packages. Moreover, since each web design company offers variety and different features, how will you know which is better for you?

This article is created to help you solve that problem. By the end of this, you will be capable to make a decision for your web design and site development (whatever your budget or timeframe requirement is). Here are the things that will help you make that choice between Fixed and Hourly Rate package.

Fixed Rate Package Deal – Most people chooses a package deal over the regular one, since most package deals comes complete and it is cheaper. The same thing can be applied with web design. Fixed Rate packages are lifesavers! This is most true, when you are in dire need to get your website up and running for your customers’ sake. For a fixed price, some web design companies can give you from basic website that is equipped with shopping cart, to things like continuous training and support.

However, here is the disadvantage to such Fixed Rate packages; you have a contract with them for whatever work they gave you and only for that certain work. In short, you are “locked in”. So if you happen to need more work done or say some extra support (i.e. more web pages or adding new products, etc.), then prepare yourself to pay for that new service. Sometimes, it is not wise to do so, since you end up paying more. What is worse is that they might force you to make some upgrade with your original package to the next higher level of package.

So, The answer is: Ask your web design company if they are willing to give you a customized package that will incorporate your every need in the future for a practical rate. If they say no, then try to ask them directly about the actual charges for new pages, additional products info, and other necessary additional inputs.

Most Web Design companies are more than willing to work with their customers, not against you, so it is most likely that they will offer you a solution that will suit your budget and needs. So, while you’re online try to search for more web design companies, and from there try to compare their rates. Don’t be frightened to ask, as they are more than willing to help you.

Hourly Rate – Many web design companies charges by the hour. However, this varies depending on the designer’s skills, experience, and the country that they live in. Beware that cheaper is not always that better.

Hourly rates is suitable for some projects where you know that you will be expanding in the near future, and that you do not want yourself permanently locked-in with some web design features or programs that is not applicable to your website.
Again, here is the disadvantage; you tend to receive a large bill with questionable charges by the time your website is finished.

The answer is, Try to work out a payment scheme or plan with your web design provider way ahead of time. Most Web Design companies will offer you a quote, timeframe/timeline for the completion of your site and over time rate for work beyond the agreed estimate time.
