how much does professional web design cost?

[gopunk]

for say a smallish site... maybe 7-10 different page styles.

i don't need any programming done... just design... html, css... graphics, logos

what i do need is someone (or a firm) who can sit down with my organization (meet in person) and have a process where they learn about our goals, the image we want to present, and they evolve a design from that. obviously, they'd have to have some sort of portfolio that we can reference.

i know the cost can vary tremendously, but any rough estimates?

probably around $2k

In the thousands.

Professional design will cost you at least $1000, and you can probably go as high as you want from there.

Edit: I read 7-10 different pages, not 7-10 different styles. I was thinking that al lthe pages would be styled similarly. If you want 7-10 different designs, it'll be significantly more money.

Don't forget maintenance fee as well.

ok so sounds like low-mid thousands? that's not too bad

what does that cover? i think i can do text updates, but i might need them to make some new images every once in a while...

hmmm what i meant to say was one 'theme'... but for different information, there will be slightly different graphics and layouts. and there would be maybe 7-10 different types of information. for example, the 'about us' page would have a little different look than the products information page.
