Option 1: Ready Theme-Based Website (cheaper one)
After clarifying the client's requirements for the website, such as the type of website, business, desired features, number of pages, and any inspiration from competitor websites, we can choose a theme from ThemeForest (average price: $50-$70) and spend approximately 40-60 hours (varies based on features/functionality) creating all the pages, sections, and layers of the website, including all visible parts. The client will provide all content, such as images, videos, and text. If the client wants us to create/write the content as well, there will be an additional hourly charge of $50/hour.
Option 2: Custom Theme-Based Website
After clarifying the client's requirements for the website, such as the type of website, business, desired features, number of pages, and any inspiration from competitor websites, we can start designing the website from scratch using Figma. Every portion will be custom-created based on the client's instructions. After the final draft is designed, we will develop the whole site using a custom theme based on the design. All features and functionality will be developed for the website. We will need approximately 80-100 hours for development and 25-35 hours for a designer to design the layout from scratch. The client will provide all custom content, such as images, videos, and text. If the client wants us to create/write the content as well, there will be an additional hourly charge of $50/hour.
