Most web design websites you come across will say contact me and I’ll provide an estimate and don’t state any prices on their website, the reason for this is for custom websites it’s impossible to determine the cost before gathering information first.

With custom websites it really depends on what your looking for that determines the cost, if you want a flash header that is designed to your specifications that part alone could be $1000 depending on the level of animation and detail which is why most web design firms don’t have prices stated.

I had this problem that I couldn’t provide prices up front so I created a solution for people looking to get online but wanted to know the cost before hand, without having to hear a sales pitch.
Elite Web Tuning this service removes the largest portion of work which is the site design as you can see the layout and can start picking and making changes right away. You can see the prices right at on the website direct link is www.elitewebtuning.com/services.html

It also allows you to create your own package so that you can easily get online with a $300 – $500 budget and know that you are getting a great looking website as you have already seen it.
