DID YOU KNOW?

High Upfront Costs: Many website service providers charge substantial upfront fees. According to Clutch.co, the average cost of a custom website design can range from $2,000 to $10,000, depending on complexity and features. This cost can be a significant barrier for small businesses or individuals.
High Hourly Fees for Additional Work: The average hourly rate for web development services varies widely but can be as high as $150 to $200 per hour, according to Upwork. This can make any additional changes or updates costly, especially if frequent modifications are needed.
Extra Charges for Minor Updates: Some providers charge additional fees for minor updates or changes. A study by WebFX found that while initial website development might be a one-time fee, ongoing changes and updates can incur extra costs, sometimes adding up to several hundred dollars per month.
Limited Service Guarantees: According to a report by Website Planet, 27% of businesses reported dissatisfaction with their web design agencies due to lack of transparency and ongoing support. This often means that clients are left to deal with problems or changes on their own, potentially leading to further expenses and inefficiencies.
Limited or No Follow-Up Maintenance: A survey by WP Engine found that 41% of small businesses who had a website built did not have an ongoing maintenance plan. This often results in websites becoming outdated or experiencing technical issues if not maintained regularly.
