What do You think if someone asks for a cost break up for the cost you charge for website building. and tons of time this question was asked on Google How much costs to build a WordPress Website. I believe if you are a master to define the web design process, you can easily show the cost break up for Website development.

but what exactly mean by Web design Process and how it is related to the cost to build a WordPress Website?

Let me explain!

A Web Design Process contains the path where you describe your Proposal or Design concept. and in Web Design Process you need to organize the concept and Materials. which means you need to go through four-level as follows:

  1. Design Concept (How Website looks like)
  2. Implementation of Marketing, Conversion, and Optimization Features.
  3. Website Speed
  4. Website Security and Backup Plan

The whole Website is designed with this four-level. Let me explain one by one for each level and conclude how much cost to build a WordPress Website.

So, Let’s deep dive into Web Design Costing Process considering the Web Design level.

Design Concept

If You are working on a new project, then you must think/start with Logo design. (if your client has still not decided on visual Branding). You can show your client what how your visual Branding will look like. another part of the design process comes from Images, illustrations, or other visualization elements. if I cover whole things of Design, it cost an average $500 minimum. 99designs is one of the best agencies for logos or illustrations. if you want to add a feel to your Brand, make sure to reach such an agency.

Implementation of Conversion, Marketing, and Optimization Features

Good looking website can’t be align with your business goal, and that’s why i take this level in Implementation of conversion, Marketing and optimization features

The primary goal of a Business website is to generate leads from it. and if these features are not included, this waste of time, money, and effort. to accomplish such things, email marketing, analytics, and SEO feature much be integrated. again the cost depends on the business goal and size. a $150-$500 Per Year is enough for small size business.

Website Speed

I call it, the key elements of Website Development. why? because a single topic or product has millions of Websites on the internet. and in that situation, if your website is not working too well to show contents easily, damn !! this is like a nightmare. if the website is being developed in WordPress, many tools like wprocket can help. apart from this, good hosting needs. you can also consider CDN (content deliver Network) to serve your content easily to audiences. depending on the business goal the cost may be charged by many agencies (like Cloudflare, Sucuri) at $ 200/Year.

Website Security and Backup Plan

Many people sitting there to kill your happiness and success. this is called Hacking, DDoS attacks, and many more. if everything goes fine, you must implement a Security and Backup plan on the Website. Cloudflare or sucuri are one of the best options with $200/Yr. Plan. and you can also use some WordPress Backup plugins to prevent big data loss.

If you want to hire someone to write a compelling web copy, this may be expensive for you. The most Design agency has their own copywriter to craft better copy.

If you are a freelancer and don’t want to spend more money on copywriting services, you can learn copywriting techniques like a pro.
