Experienced web site designers may send you a form to fill out. Before they give you a cost estimate, they'll want to know:
* what type of site you want: e-commerce or general information site
* whether you want a new site created from scratch, an upgrade or a redesign
* whether you're launching a new business or adding an online component to an established business
* your best estimate of your level of knowledge about web site design
* what content you'll provide: text, photographs and graphics, audio, video, layout requirements, a site map, etc., or whether you expect the designer to provide some or all of the content
* whether you have a registered domain name or need a new one
* the level of site maintenance you'll require
* the focus of your site (your goals and purpose)
* what advanced features you'll require (such as streaming audio or video, database management, security and/or a shopping cart)
* your timelines for final delivery
* your budget range
Provide the most accurate information you can and don't promise content that you can't deliver. You're better off getting a realistic estimate than entering into a contract that ends up peppered with change orders. Changes are likely to send your costs skyrocketing and they'll certainly nullify the deadline for completion.
