The design team has a massive impact on the overall cost of your dental website design. To design your website from scratch, you can hire in-house experts, a local website development agency, a freelance team, or an outsourcing agency.
In-house experts
Hiring an in-house team just for building your dental website would be expensive.
The average cost of hiring an in-house team would be a whopping US $500,000 per year. Paying such a huge amount of money to build just one website does not make sense.
Hiring the services of a local website development agency
If you are hiring a local agency, they will work either under a contract or charge you on an hourly basis.
The average charge you have to pay a local website development agency for the design and development of your dental website would range from US $70,000 to $150,000. You may have to pay around US $60,000 per year additionally for maintenance of the website.
Hiring a freelance team
It is one of the most cost-effective solutions for designing your website. A freelance web developer can be hired for US $10,000 and for a website designer, based on the complexity of the design, you have to pay US $1500 to $2500.
The disadvantage of this is reliability. You cannot rely on freelancers when you are designing a website for your business. They work either individually or in a group of freelancers, they do not have the expertise, and they cannot walk with your vision as their vision is limited to getting the project. On the contrary, an outsourcing agency can walk parallel to your vision and deliver an excellent website that satisfies you and your audience.
Hire an outsourcing agency
It is the best option for you if you want to balance the cost with a highly professional service. The outsourcing agency will charge a bit more than the freelancers. For example, if you hire a designer in the US, you have to pay US $100 per hour, whereas the same job outsourced in India would cost only US $15 to $30 per hour.
In this option, they will dedicate a team to your project. You will also get the support of an experienced project manager who will lead the project. So you will get a reliable and skilled team in this option.
