I meet people on twitter who are looking for a professional graphic designer to design their website and logo.
Most people are fishing, with no clue on how much money is needed to get a business concept of the ground.

Some businesses can spend up to $12,000 for a logo and well over $20,000 for their website.
But the reality is a small business could get quality logo designed for as low as $320,
there are cheaper solutions, but you may not be happy with the quality of design or the customer service.

The same holds true for website designs, site are like houses to build they can be a one room shack or a mansion on a plantation. And the cost will reflect those differences. But a website to start out with can be as low as $1,200 which would give you a good foundation to see if your concept will take.

Hopefully this article will inspire folks to take the plunge and get their pet project out of their head and into the world.

The best way to figure out how big your website should be is to research your competitors from similar industries a features analysis can help point out best practices for your industry. Making sure you have all the elements you need to succeed.

As a professional graphic design studio my biggest thrill is the look and feel I can achieve for some small business concepts, with small budgets, its always amazing to me, how a small company can look like a national franchise.
