"You are worth every penny and then some."

Websites, like cars or dinner, can be acquired with as much or as little money as you'd care to spend. In general, a higher budget equals higher quality (more time spent on testing), more 'uniqueness', and more custom features. "You get what you pay for." If you have a budget please mention it when requesting an estimate.
A $500 bare-bones online store and a $5,000 highly polished online store will both sell the same products, but the cheaper store will look like thousands of others, won't be 'branded' other than a simple text logo, you'll have to enter all the product data yourself, it won't have much if any search engine work done, and so forth. Still, it's sometimes better to start small than not to start at all!
The $75/hr rate applies to:
- Custom forms.
- Programming and scripts.
- Consultation.
- Graphic design.
- Web / usability / interface design.
- Database work.
- Search engine optimization (SEO).
The $35/hr rate applies to:
Most simple and/or repetitive tasks that will take an hour or more. For simple tasks that will take less than an hour, the $75/hr rate will apply.
- Placement and formatting of text content.
- Copying and pasting content from one website to another, including a redesigned one.
- Data entry.
Third party fees (hosting, security certificates, merchant accounts, stock photos) are extra and are not marked up if you directly purchase them.
Why PER HOUR PRICING benefits you:
- You decide how 'refined', customized, and unique you want your site to be. If you're happy with an out-of-the-box website, you can now get one inexpensively.
- No haggling over what's included in the price and what isn't. If you want it included, just ask for it. And Crunch42 won't "pad your hours" doing unecessary things.
