Pricing

Pricing for custom development. Rough estimate and expectations for agencies
Project estimate in hours

Quick Formula

Clients ask you how much it will cost to build 10 page website for their business.,

Are these 10 unique pages or 5 unique pages and 5 services with the same template?

For development page count not matter as much as how many unique blocks each page has.

For example image on the left has 5 unique blocks. If any of these blocks repeats on any other pages, they do not increase the estimate.

It takes, on average, 5 hours to build, test, fill with content and launch a unique section.

So, check out your Figma designs and calculate:

Estimate = the amount of unique blocks * 5

You’ll have rough estimate in hours how long it will take to build the project

But you promote fixed-price contracts, right?

How to get the budget, knowing hours

It's even easier. Project budget = amount of hours * hourly rate. Each agency has it's unique hourly rate based on volume of work they need. One-time project hourly rate is 40 USD/hour

    Frequently Asked Question

    • Hourly rate varies from 29 USD/h ( 25 EUR/h) for retainer clients to 40 USD/h (35 EUR/h) for one-time projects. Every agency can get a partner rate that depends on the amount of new builds they do with Codelibry

    • Roughly, it takes 2 weeks to build a 5 page website, 4 weeks to build a 10 page website, 6 weeks to build a 15-week website

    • Basically, AI helps turn Figma designs into custom wordpress themes.

      1. Converts Figma designs into plain HTML/CSS/JS

      2. Dev polishes the markup ( it’s far from perfect )

      3. Ai converts HTML/CSS/JS into custom theme

      4. Dev polishes everything

      Then manual QA and launch. This approach saves up to 25% of project hours budget
