I came across a great blog post about the cost of web design written by Chris Pearson. How much should design cost? The article discusses the cost of designing or redesigning a blog.
It seems that the cost is usually between $1500-$3000 to get a good design. The consensus seems to be that most individuals find $1500 or more to be much too expensive. While most corporations would gladly pay $1500-$3000 for a great design.
If you are considering investing your time and money into a website please take the time to read this blog post.

Chris makes some nice comparisons between his prices and some competitors. I think the best point he raises is that a few thousand dollars is a ton of money to most individuals and a pittance to most large corporations. It’s also a pretty reasonable cost for an entry level web site such as a simple blog or brochure ware site. It often leaves designers in an odd position of regularly charging more or less than the client thinks is reasonable or charging a different amount for the same amount of work which just seems unfair and wrong as a pricing policy. I don’t think most clients are aware of this situation since they only approach the pricing from their own perspective.
