Alexander Dunaev Co-founder at Moneyman
5.0★
Project Management Review from Alexander Dunaev
Lepshey consistently shows careful attitude towards each joint project. All the work is done quickly and in the organised manner. It is crucially important for our company that though each time the work is done in a very limited time, the number of iterations is reduced to the minimum. This reduces the cost of process management from our side. All comments are processed practically in the real time mode.

The WebSEOMarket team helped our crewing company successfully break into the international maritime recruitment market through social media. Within the first month of working with them, we received more than 45 qualified crew applications—all while staying within a limited budget, with a cost per lead below €1.Their configured chatbot streamlined the collection and processing of applications, saving our team significant time. We’ve already planned to commission a website from them next month.We highly recommend WebSEOMarket to any business looking to expand in the maritime recruitment industry and attract genuine clients through social media.

Thanks to our collaboration with the WebSEOMarket agency, who were instrumental in both strategic planning and reshaping our brand’s business model, we’ve successfully transitioned from a retail approach to a B2B focus. This shift has helped us move away from the unpredictability of dealing with individual customers, resulting in more stable revenue and a strengthened market position for our brand.I would wholeheartedly recommend this agency as a dependable partner for long-term consulting co-operation.

I do not recommend - if you need to create an advanced/complex project. We are still finding and correcting errors, gaps in the code.I recommend only if you need to create a home page design or a very simple business card home page.Discuss every detail so that everything is agreed, because you will have to pay for every additional detail.I recommend that you hire a tester yourself in time, who will carefully evaluate the quality of the code and errors.

Hello! Unfortunately, I also encountered bad work, I did not start using the services of this website. The money is paid, but Sia Datateks did not do the work. Making excuses with all sorts of excuses! My calls and emails are ignored. I really hope to find a compromise with this company about the money laundering. The amount of money I have paid is not small, but money does not grow on trees! Please be careful with this company Sia Datateks, because we still have many scammers in Latvia who are very good at defrauding people.

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.

Aspect	Web design	Web development
Core responsibility	Defines the design, layout, and user experience	Builds and maintains the website through code
Primary objective	Ensure the site is clear, engaging, and aligned with brand identity	Ensure the site works correctly, loads fast, and supports required features
Deliverables	Wireframes, mockups, prototypes, and visual systems	Front-end interfaces, back-end systems, and integrations
Key disciplines	UX design, UI design, responsive web design	Front-end, back-end, and full-stack web development
Business impact	Influences perception, usability, and user engagement	Enables functionality, performance, and scalability

Web design's main focus:

Structure and site design
Visual hierarchy and interface clarity
User experience and UX design
Mobile and responsive design
Conversion-focused landing page design

Web development's main focus:

Coding and website development
Front-end implementation (HTML, CSS, JavaScript)
Back-end systems and databases
Integrations, security, and performance
CMS setup and custom functionality
