How much can a web designer charge?

Web designers charge based on experience, scope, and whether they are delivering just visuals or a complete, launched site. Some price hourly, others package projects (which is usually better for clients). Simple marketing sites are cheaper; custom UX, brand systems, and complex components raise price. Add-ons like copywriting, SEO structure, and performance work also change the number. If you are comparing quotes, compare deliverables, not totals: number of pages, revisions, mobile design, dev handoff, CMS setup, analytics, and launch support. Two “website quotes” can be completely different products.
