Hello Everyone.

I am a newbie trying to break into local website design for small/medium sized businesses.
I wanted to collect some opinions and advice on pricing for something like this.

This is what I have in mind.

Wordpress site with made with popular framework- ithemes, Catalyst, etc
- Up to five pages
- Slider with up to 3 images/pics
- Google Maps
- Custom graphic work on the background
- Integration of their exiting social media accounts
- Contact form ( gravity forms)
- Pop up to build their list ( Pippity, pop up domination..etc )
- One free year of hosting
- Responsive design....which no one seems to be offering in my area.
- On page optimization..of course
- Misc plugin installation such as Super Chache, Ping Optimizer.. etc
- Blog with their first two Keyword optimized articles to sweeten the deal.

Is $ 750.00 a good price for this?
....too high? ....or am I giving away the whole farm?

In my area rhere's people selling some really ugly websites for $ 199 - $300
And I am sure a lot of Biz owners would rather pay I little more for good design
and function.

Thank you all in advance.

    The price sounds good to me...I dont see why people get scared to charge a 'large' amount like that. If your providing the value = to the price then you're good.

    g76,

    It's not really how much you charge, it's how much people are willing to pay ;-)

    There are a couple of things to consider.

    1. How much will it costs you
    2. What is the benefit to your customers ie what's the ROI? If the customer can make $5,000 via your website and strategies they would gladly pay $3,000 even $4,000.

    Since you have a list of items there why not itemize the list and show client if they were to do it themselves or buy the items separately they would pay X amount vs the Y amount they will be investing in you.

    What's your support and guarantee? Are they getting anything additional ie SEO, Social Media Marketing, etc

    These questions should get you started.

    I hope this helps.

    Is $750 going to provide enough hourly return and/or a budget for a quality team if you are outsourcing? If so, and your market is willing to pay it, then you're gold.

    Also, remember to leave room to offer discounts.

    I second the recommendation to itemize the offering if it was offered piecemeal to show the value your bundle offers...but remember that your target audience probably won't understand all of it, so have some educational content in your copy.
