How much will my design project cost?
In the abstract, the answer is easy: The price is fair, the value is great.
But specifics vary. This is your project, not a boilerplate repeat of someone else’s project. Blue doesn’t do boilerplate; Blue does you. Nothing in the Blue studio is cookie cutter; we don’t recolor buttons, swap out pronouns and sell your look to someone else. And we don’t sell someone else’s identity to you.
Blue is fully custom and hard driven to understand who you are and what you need and we deliver the best solution possible for the budget you establish. If you are looking for a template-processed product and the lowest bid, we are not the firm for you.
But if you are looking to stand high above your competition, we offer a fair value in custom design that produces one thing: The singular look that is you. Once on board, Blue is tireless in executing this philosophy of tailoring our talent to your needs and objectives.
Want to get a feel for the ballpark? Read on. And remember: Your needs are your needs alone, so the budget we establish together will vary.
Design or redesign your website
For a static site, redesigning an existing site, or starting from scratch, we typically start around $300/page. Depending on how much time we spend doing a competitive analysis, wireframes, and the design itself, costs will vary. We can do quick, professional sites quickly, but we've also spent hundreds of hours on highly sophisticated projects.
Change and maintain your own content
Do you need to maintain your site via an easy-to-use web-based application? Do you need a blog or publish your own press releases online? Empowering you to update your own site is one of our particular strengths and a primary value. Depending on the exact functionality you desire, an integrated content management system will typically start around $8000. But it will save you thousands in return.
Ecommerce
Would you like to have a retail store to sell your products online? We can set up up with an online shopping cart. There are millions of options that affect the price but a simple e-commerce system start at $4500.
Logo design, business cards, and letterhead
Time involved in logo design varies widely and is not something we treat lightly. We strive to get you a logo that will stand the test of time. Our logo design starts at $650 or $1500 for a package that includes business cards, letterhead and envelopes.
Improve your search engine results
Optimizing your website for search engines has multiple variables, including how your site's code and your content. If your HTML and content are already sound, it could be easy to improve your search engine placement with minor modifications. If your code and contnet need exstensive work, it might be easier to just build a new site. Basic search engine optimization starts at around $350.
Print
Full-page ad design starts at $850 if you supply all the photography and content. If you need to generate ad copy and photography, Blue has an in-house photo studio and contracts some of the most talented copywriters in the industry.
Obviously, these are all very rough estimates, but we would be happy to give you a more accurate quote for your specific project.
