Real Makeover By Dave Nienberg, Project Manager, 4 Guys Web Design Group Copyright © 1997 Dave Nienberg All rights Reserved Epilogue Now for the part you really want to know - how much does it cost to have your site designed correctly? The answer: probably more than you want it to. Sites can vary in cost from free (we've seen those results) to millions of dollars. Obviously, you don't either extreme. As a rule of thumb plan on spending between three to ten thousand dollars for a well designed, effective and memorable site. While that may seem expensive on the outset, the incremental sales you'll enjoy will quickly pay for the site many times over. Just one final note. Make sure you pick the right designer to create your site (and as you've seen, your image.) Unfortunately, this is much easier said than done, since good designers are a relative rarity. You'll know when you've found one though. The sites they've designed will follow the commandments and rise above the noise. If so, you're half-way there. The final half is checking their references. Find out what their other clients thought about working with them. You'll often be surprised with what you hear. If everything checks out you should feel confident that you have made a correct decision. Then the Web will work for you and you'll enjoy increased sales as a benefit.
