Some of my bigger clients, multiple locations and such...$3000 to $15000 depending on needs and wants.

At a minimum I would charge $500 for a 5 page wordpress site that was fully optimised but that charge goes up significantly if I already own the keyword rich domain name that the client wants. In that case I usually lease the domain name for $300 a month or sell it to the client for $2000 to $5000 depending on how valuable it is.

It depends on so many small dots.

What format? HTML/CSS or BackOffice?
With Custom Design + ability to change everything or no?
Special coding needed or not?
How many pages?
Who's writing content?
Who's optimizing the content?
What's our relation with the client?
Is the client also buying print/new media services?
And so on.

We don' sell oranges. We sell our expertise in MARKETING. Website development is just a tiny bit of what we do.

Thats why we don't sell websites.

We create machines to rank well, convert high and make a profitable online presence to our clients.

For 500$ I'd prefer to go sell hotdogs 6 hours per day, 5 days a week.

Well said,... I've got to agree 100% with your sentiments here.

Sure there are a lot of guys out there selling in the $500 range and some do a great job and others just rip off and make it harder for the next guy to sell them something that will really work for them.

Really, at $500 by the time you've costed out your own time and added any outsourcing costs,.. plus all the time and effort back and forth ironing out the finer details and last minute amendments then there isn't very much change left out of the $500 bucks you just took.

Conversely, when you start charging $1500+ you place yourself a cut above and leave some fat in the deal to go into a little more detail,.. maybe some better graphics, a gallery,... whatever. Plus the chances are that a business owner willing to invest a bit more is probably slightly more serious about getting results from his new site and is likely to be more receptive to further investing in addon services to keep the site performing such as SEO, Places, SMS, Mobile Version etc.

I was building sites for a marketing guy last year and charging him $700 to $1500 per site and I thought that was a good price until I discovered he was on-selling them for $3,500 to $5,000 each.
I guess it comes down to you own ability and what you're comfortable with

For the most part, it is not worth doing sites you sell for less than $500, so you can properly add all the things needed to make the site a smashing success. However, if you think you can sell other services in the future to the client, you might consider it. If a client keeps harping about the price, you will probably be sorry if you reduce it too much. They will expect a deluxe site at a Walmart price.

My WP sites start at $1500.00 for up to 10 pages. Client provides text and images. This includes on-page SEO, privacy policy, sitemap page, xml sitemap, analytics setup and up to two hours on-site training to learn how to update and create blog posts.

My last contract was $5400 for up to 30 pages + $2000 per month on-going SEO and site updates. This is a for a fully managed site with all the above, multiple contact forms, Facebook integration, and Google Places and Bing Local.

PS, I specialize in fixing $500 websites.

  Because you don't know what you're worth. Price is not the deciding factor, and for those that decide based on price, is not a client you want to have.
  
  The guy that said he outsources for $250, will probably continue to do so, because which is going to seem like the better site? $5, or 250?
  
  Average charge for most, despite the higher numbers here... most people charge 200-300 for a standard website. I think that is too cheap... $500-600 would be a good starting range.
  
  I have had clients that ranged from $150 when I first started, to $35,000. It depends on what they need, how long it will take, etc.

I charge a minimum of $5,000 for a website. Higher price means more money for less work.

I usually give the site away as a part of an expensive web services package.

If someone wants to add some way to make credit card payments via use of a shopping cart (paypal, google checkout, etc.) to their site, would you include that in the base price of a 5 page html/wordpress site, or charge extra? If extra, how much to add the shopping cart/payment option?

You need to see a doctor, lol.

My typical 5 page site is $1,500. I'll go as low as $1,000 if there are other services involved or I'm trying to get my foot in the door. I just landed a client last week for $5,000. I'm buiding him three websites. One (ten-page site), and two (five page sites). He paid me all $5,000 upfront even though I normally require 50% down. My sites are all Wordpress, using iBuilder or Thesis. I have a WF member here who does most of my work.

Personally I hate building sites or blogs, but it's part of the business. I actually tell my clients I don't like doing them. Too much back and forth with images, content, the wife/business partner/cocker spaniel doesn't like it, etc... Better make it worth my time to put up with that crap.

Thanks

My only reason to create websites and blogs is to either sell more services or get my foot in the door. Monthly continuity is mandatory for any business. Trying to get fresh, new money on a weekly/monthly basis will destroy any business. Can you imagine if McDonalds only sold you a Combo meal once in your life? Starbucks one cup coffee, Apple one device, Microsoft one software program, Ford only one car,etc...

If you don't start building monthly continuity into your business you will most likely fail, very fast.
