Normally, if you want to have professional designers custom build your website, you must be prepared to dish out at least a few hundred bucks. All this can change if you know where to find the best deals, the greatest designs for the lowest price. Here’s a rough guide:

First, you should understand that it’s a rip off to get businesses to style websites for you. Have you ever seen those advertisements in newspaper classified ad sections that provide a 5-page website at $500? These companies are established businesses with physical locations, therefore they have to increase the amount they charge to pay off some overheads: office rent, designer’s wages, advertising costs and so forth.

Therefore, it would be wise to find freelance designers who work from house. These people are often working from house so they do not have a high operation cost like that of a company. On the other hand, they will probably be able to style images with quality similar to those of designers from big companies, so it’s a “no-brainer” option.

Nevertheless, select freelancers with care. The greatest way to do this could be to go to elance.com. There, you can post the abstract of your project and get thousands of freelancers to bid on your project, so you will surely get the greatest deal. On top of that, you will probably be in a position to choose the designers based on their experience, past transactions and ratings, so your value for money is secured.

Another route you can take would be to design your website yourself. Think about it, if you only need 5 simple pages to present some simple information, why waste hundreds of bucks for it? Just spend a little time to sit down and do it yourself. You’ll be in a position to design your own sites even if you do not know a single line of HTML code with the help of WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) programs for example Microsoft Frontpage, Macromedia Dreamweaver and so forth.
