A graphic designer’s website is also the first project a prospect gets to judge, so the build is shaped by how much work you want to show and how you want inquiries to arrive. Most of the price conversation comes down to how many case studies you present and how much of your process you explain in writing. We build it so the work leads and the words stay quiet.
The price at a glance
Most graphic designers fit Launch Website: $399 one-time for up to 5 pages, plus Website Care at $30/month for hosting, HTTPS, backups, weekly performance checks, A/B testing and up to 30 minutes of small edits each month. A typical graphic designer site covers Home with featured work, Portfolio, Services, Process and Contact.
What changes the price for a graphic designer
- ✓Number of case studies — A page that tells the brief, the thinking and the result for each project takes more layout and writing time than a grid of thumbnails
- ✓Type of work shown — Logos, packaging, editorial and motion each need different image shapes and sometimes video embeds, which changes how galleries are built
- ✓Process page depth — A short outline of discovery, concepts and revisions is quick, while a full walkthrough with sample deliverables needs more content and structure
- ✓Inquiry form detail — A form that asks about scope, timeline and brand stage helps you qualify projects but needs more fields and routing than a plain message box
What keeps you in the smaller plan
If you are freelancing and show a tight set of featured projects, a home page, a portfolio, a short services list and a simple inquiry form carry everything. Pick the handful of pieces you would want to repeat and let them speak. Fewer, stronger samples keep the build small and the site fast.
Costs that sit outside the website
- ✓Font licenses — If the site uses a commercial typeface beyond the free options, the license is bought from the foundry and sits outside the website build
- ✓Image rights — Client work shown in a portfolio sometimes needs the client’s permission, and that conversation is yours to have
- ✓Domain and email — A professional address on your own domain is a separate yearly cost from the site itself
- ✓Project tools — Invoicing, proposals and file-sharing apps you already use keep their own plans
When it makes sense to step up
Move up when you want a full case study for every major project, separate pages for branding, packaging and web work, or a downloadable capabilities overview. A studio with several designers, each with their own bio and featured work, also needs more room than a solo portfolio.
