Custom WordPress Design

As per WordPress.Org, WordPress is FREE, then why spend $5000 for building a website on WordPress?

The truth behind building a great website comes at a cost because it requires some extra stuff such as animated effects and research on UX design and other elements of websites to bring the class you really require for your business.

And that extra stuff provides your website with a lavish feel. It provides you with classic looks, styles, and animated features to form an exemplary experience for users and is uniquely represented as part of your brand.

That is where the minimum cost starts from $5000 and may go beyond that.  Some of the costs to evaluate are:

PSD Design: The cost of PSD per page go around 250 USD

Custom Home Page Design: Starts from $1000 including separate Menu Design for Desktop & Mobile.

Animation effects: Starts from $50 to $100 per animation on a page depending on the complexity.

Separate menu designs for mobile versus desktops start from $200 and complex menu design starts from $300.

Customized mobile responsive design charges could be extra depending on additional sections for mobile views only. Logo Design starts from $50. 

Copywriting starts from $5 per 100 words (Optional).

Domain: Comes at a cost of $10 to $15

SSL Certificate: Range from $0 - $60

Extended SSL Verification: Start from $50

Web Hosting: Great web hosting range from $30 per month to $2000 per month.

Themes:  Most themes come Free. But a great UI/UX custom design theme may go up to $500. But this isn't enough. Custom design for the home page alone can go beyond $1000 and other custom pages can go beyond $500 per page depending on added sections on the page and features involved.

Plugins: You need at least one Security Plugin ($0-$199 per year), a Form Plugin ($0-$59 per year), Email Marketing Plugin ($0 -$30 Per Month), Auto Backup Plugin ($0-$150 Per Year)

E-commerce Features: Starts from S0 to $1000

CDN: Starts from $0 and may go up to $200

Time To complete the project: Pricing depends on the type of project and the duration.

When it comes to security, performance, reliability, classic designs, and premium feel the word Free doesn't come.

Free themes, free plugins, and cheap hosting don't deliver the quality required for business.
