      Trevor Howden's Review Sourced from Google

      I recently collaborated with 1dea on a rebrand and website development. Coming into the project, I had high expectations and a general idea of what I wanted, but lacked a clear vision. This required extra effort from their team to translate my vague concepts into an amazing finished product. They not only delivered but exceeded my expectations. I’m extremely pleased with the outcome, and it perfectly aligns with our brand. As someone who values clear communication in business, I truly appreciated how well they kept me informed throughout the process. They set realistic expectations and consistently delivered on them. I highly recommend!

      We hired Imperium Social to design a website for our law firm. Working with Wes, Harrison, Chris, Sasha and the team was fantastic. They are very creative, thorough, and they work quickly. Their team put together a great website for us and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. We would absolutely hire them again in the future.

      I used this company to create my website. They did an amazing job, better than I ever could have imagined. The site was affordable and the professionalism was on another level. The functionality of the site has exactly what I need, a calendar, a booking system, and payment integration.I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company to anyone looking to create a business. In fact, if Imperium provides me with a promo code, I will gladly go out and promote their business.

Frequently Asked Questions

What services do web design agencies offer?

Web design agencies provide a range of services to plan, create, and improve business websites. Their core services include: 

  • Custom website design tailored to your brand and goals 
  • Responsive web design to ensure the site works on desktop, tablet, and mobile 
  • UI/UX design to make the site easy to use 
  • Website development to turn designs into functional websites 
  • Landing page design for campaigns and conversions 
  • Website redesign to improve outdated or underperforming sites 

Beyond these core services, many web design companies also support digital marketing, including search engine optimization, content marketing, and email marketing to help improve visibility in search engines and attract potential customers.  

Some also offer brand identity, graphic design, and ongoing web design services like maintenance, updates, and performance improvements to strengthen your online presence over time. 

How much do website design companies charge for their services?

Professional web design services typically range between $5,000 and $60,000+, depending on complexity, features, and level of customization. Their projects commonly start around $10,000 to $15,000 and can exceed $50,000 for advanced websites. 

Here is a general breakdown: 

  • Basic business websites: $5,000 to $15,000 
  • Custom business websites with advanced UX design: $15,000 to $30,000 
  • Ecommerce and complex custom website projects: $30,000 to $60,000+ 

Several factors influence what website design companies charge. The biggest cost drivers include the number of pages, level of custom website design, and required web development. Features like booking systems, ecommerce functionality, or integrations increase the price because they require more design and development hours. 

In addition to the initial build, many web design companies charge ongoing maintenance fees ranging from $1,200 to $12,000 per year, which cover updates, security, and performance improvements. 

How long does it take to build a website?

A typical website design company timeline ranges from a few days to several months, depending on scope, content readiness, and required web development. 

  • Simple brochure website (1 to 5 pages): 1 to 2 weeks  
  • Small business website (5 to 15 pages, blog, forms): 4 to 8 weeks  
  • eCommerce website (standard features, 10 to 100 products): 8 to 16 weeks  
  • Large-scale custom website (bespoke features, integrations): 4 to 6+ months 
  • Custom web application: 6 to 12+ months  

Most delays come from two things: missing content (copy, images, product data) and an unclear scope that expands during the web design project.  

If content is ready and approvals are fast, timelines compress. If content is late and feedback is slow, timelines stretch. 

What are the hidden costs of web design?

Hidden web design costs usually show up in two phases: before launch and after launch. 

Pre-launch hidden costs 

  • Stock photos, fonts, and premium plugins (one-time fees plus renewals) 
  • Scope creep and extra revisions beyond what the contract includes 
  • Content creation (copywriting, product descriptions, graphics) 
  • Content migration from an old site (formatting, redirects, image cleanup) 
  • Integrations (CRM, booking, payments, analytics) that require extra setup and testing 

Post-launch hidden costs 

  • Web hosting and domain renewal (often increases as traffic grows) 
  • SSL certificate upgrades for ecommerce or higher trust requirements 
  • Website maintenance and security (updates, backups, monitoring, fixes) 
  • Email hosting (Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 per user) 

These costs appear because a website build quote often covers only the core design and development. Anything tied to licensing, content production, ongoing ownership, or changes outside the original scope gets billed separately unless the statement of work includes it. 

What is the difference between web design and web development?

Web design defines the visual interface and user experience of a website, while web development implements that design through code and technical functionality.
