Prices for websites, and development

Kae Verens ~ Thursday 8th August, 2013

One of the main features of our content management systems, that we tout to new customers, is the fact that it's a multi-tenanted architecture. In other words, when we make improvements to the engine for any one of our customers, this improvement is available to every single one of our customers. A recent example of this is our new eBay integration, which allows us to push products onto eBay with literally just the click of a button.

Unfortunately, because we currently charge just barely what it takes to actually pay our expenses, we don't have time spare to work on improvements. We currently only do what is necessary to get the job done, then it is on to the next one. This is not ideal. We prefer to polish our work, and come back to it later and look at it again once we've learned new tricks and techniques.

We also want to hire on some more developers and designers, but currently can't because we literally cannot afford the "learning curve" period between hiring them and them becoming good at their work.

We are currently the most affordable web developers in Monaghan, and we do not want to change that, but we will be raising our prices slightly for new jobs. Existing hosting and maintenance will not be affected. If you are currently paying €10 per month for your site, you will continue to pay €10 per month for your site.

New basic brochure websites will now cost €450, new basic online stores will now cost €800, and all development work (web programming, mobile application development) will cost €30 per hour.

We are still well below the market average.

It's very difficult to find exact industry prices, but here is a study that figured out averages based on 220 questionaire entries;

  Average Price Our Price You Save
Brochure Website with CMS €1450 €450 €1000
E-Commerce Website €3370 €800 €2570
Contract-work (per hour) €41.75 €30 €11.75

So, despite our price increases, we are still vastly cheaper than anyone you are likely to find!
