Website Design

Design is one part of a completed website. To launch your website, you’ll need both design and web development.

Frontend developers focus on code that runs in the user’s browser, like HTML and CSS. Backend web developers focus on code that runs on the web server. For website designs, this can include databases and other complex systems like ecommerce integration. And, you may also need to build some web apps (we can help with the design of the web apps too) that accompany your website, depending on what you intend to do with your website design. You may also want to launch a blog and develop a content marketing strategy based on blog posts. Fortunately, there are many good marketing solutions, including terrific blogging tools like WordPress that can help you do that, seo tools that can help you rank your content in search engines, and analytics tools that can help you evaluate and measure your online presence.

Most entrepreneurs, businesses, agencies, and other organizations design a website in one of four ways: by running a design contest, hiring a design agency, working directly with a freelance website designer, or making their own website designs with an online website builder.

Each of these options has advantages and disadvantages.

Online website builders give you generic, template-based designs that looks like thousands of other designs. Agencies and freelancers can be very expensive (agencies typically charge $25,000+ for a completed website) and you get little choice.

Design contest are, for most, the best option for a custom website design because you set your own price and pick your favorite custom website design from among dozens of unique, custom website designs submitted by designers from all over the world. Web design contests provide a lot of flexibility and creativity.

Computers, even those that claim to use artificial intelligence, don’t understand how people think and give you generic, uninspiring templates. If you want professional website designs, work with real people - designers who understand human psychology, who know how to design a great user experience, and who can help you create a unique website for your company or organization.

Web design contests are simple, effective, and affordable. Here’s how website design contests work on crowdspring: tell us what you need (we walk you through an interactive Q&A customized for web design projects), work with dozens of talented professional web designers from around the world, and pick your favorite design. You’ll get full rights to the website design via a customized legal agreement, and all the files formats you’ll need to use your website design online. All protected by our 100 percent satisfaction guarantee.

A custom website design can take anywhere from several days to a few weeks. On crowdspring, web design projects can run from 1 to 7 days and you can always extend any project without cost if you need a little more time. Generally, the website design process should take no more than a week to finish.

You will get a professionally designed custom website design. Additionally, you’ll get industry-standard ready-to-go files that you can use online. And your project will be protected by a customized legal contract transferring the full legal rights to the design, to you.

Experienced freelancers typically charge $2,500 to $7,500 for custom website designs. Well known freelancers and small design studios will often charge $7,500 to $15,000 for custom web design. Mid-size agencies will typically charge $25,000 to $50,000+ for custom web design. And, if you don’t care about building a strong brand, you can get a generic, uninspiring website design from a online website builder or a designer willing to give you a template design for $5.

When selecting your web page pricing package, think about how much time you’ll have and your budget. And consider the features you’ll need. For example, certain packages include privacy bundles that include non-disclosure agreements, private galleries, and other privacy features. Other packages include collaboration and unlimited focus groups (polls).

But no matter what package you choose, we guarantee that you’ll get a web page design you’ll love. And if you’re still unsure about the right package for you, contact us for a free design consultation.

Yes. If you have specific images you want to use with your web page design (like your logo, product photos, or other images), please uploade them with your brief. You can do that at any time, including after you post your project.

And, unless you request otherwise, designers may use stock images (purchased from a third party) in your website design. If a designer uses stock art in a design, theyₑll tell you which images they used and how much they will cost to purchase if you want to use them in the actual design. Often, the images will be free so no additional payment will be required.

Designers agree to upload only original work, so each designer owns the rights to their designs until you choose your favorite web design. When you are in wrap-up, finalizing the design, you will receive a written legal contract, customized for your project, giving you the full legal rights, including copyright, to your winning web page design.

You can add non-disclosure agreements, search engine exclusion, private briefs, and more to every website design project. The best time to do this is when you first launch your project, but you can always add these features later too.

Non-disclosure agreements let you control who can participate in your project and what they can share. Search engine exclusion keeps your project out of search engines, while private briefs let you share confidential details only with the people you authorized to participate in your project.

Web design firms have different prices. It’s not unusual to find larger firms that charge tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. Smaller firms usually have lower prices, but this can vary on the experience level of the firm. Freelance website designers usually charge less than firms. This can be because freelancers don’t have as much overhead to pay for as larger firms.

Keep in mind that designers prices vary with their skill level and experience. Design prices also can vary based on geography. As we've already noted, getting more than one quote from three or four vendors is a good strategy.

Price estimates are usually calculated two different ways: either on an hourly basis or as a set fee. Whether you get one or many quotes, make sure that you understand how you are being charged for the work. Even well-planned website designs can go over budget for unforeseen reasons.

Also keep in mind the price firms and designers give you are almost always estimates. They give you a price based on the information you provide at the start of the project. As the project progresses things can change, plans can evolve, and the work required can grow.

crowdspring offers a great solution for the potential uncertainty of what the cost for your web design will be. We let you set the budget ahead of time, and the cost you decide on is the cost it’ll be. Designers that submit web design entries to your project understand what your budget is ahead of time, and submit to your project accordingly. You’ll never be surprised about how much the final cost will be!
