How much does it cost to have a web site designed?

Ask that question to a lot of web design companies and many will reply "How long is a piece of string?"

How unhelpful can you get?!

At MRMedia Group we believe that an experienced web designer will be able to provide a good estimate of costs because they've been there, seen it, done it and you're using the web sites they've built! We have designed so many varied web sites that we have an intimate understanding of the costs and timescales involved. Rather than do what an inexperienced web designer would and play you depending on how much we think we can get out of you, we are happy to provide a range of fixed priced quotes that we'll honour. We know many of our web design clients have very specific needs that will require a personal quotation, but we also know that most people want to get an idea of costs to allow them to narrow down which web design companies to talk with. We're a very friendly and open company like that, it's part of our policy of being on your side! Yes, we are rare!

Here are some general web design packages so as to give you an indication of our costs. Remember that these aren't fixed in stone and if you'd like a little more of this and a little less of that, we should talk. Our current web design packages include:
