Home Based Party Business - Affordable Website Design - Package Deal or Value Meal?


I also expect that the package includes a greater amount of benefits obtained from previous packages, naturally. My default assumption is that each package offers its own selection of ever-improving options, with incrementing costs, when I hear about different levels of package deals. But when I hear "package deal" I hear variety, i don't know about you.

I can't help but think there's a tendency towards these sort of packages after looking at a few sites that offered website design packages where the main improvement seemed to be the number of pages available. With certain side benefits increased in quantity while the main part of the deal remains much the same; the same selection of items at a higher price, maybe what most people call a package deal is simply what I would call a value meal. I could be wrong, but you know.

Am I missing something here?

. . External javascript files, dynamic database page creation, php file functions, cSS stylesheets. Website designers have a tremendous variety of tools that they can use to create a layout that functions across multiple pages. But it always struck me as a really rather arbitrary method of pricing, let's grab the maximum amount of money for the minimum amount of work" standpoint, i understood it from a "hey, sure, okay. I've never understood the theory behind charging by the page number, myself.

And upload it, optimize, i'd rather write the content for my business and let the web designer format, though, myself. The cost per page for written content would make sense. Or maybe they are expected to write all the content? I just can't wrap my mind around the idea of a web designer actually using a template system as their primary method of designing websites. Charging by the page begins to sound downright reasonable, the way those things lag. That would make sense. Maybe these web designers are using template systems. Maybe I am missing something.

Even hourly would make more sense if it wasn't for the fact that there is no way to keep track of hours spent. All very valid things to base a pricing structure on. . . SEO, e-commerce, data entry, content creation, complexity of coding. And it is even less viable as a primary scaling benefit of a web design package, it just seems to me that number of pages isn't a viable pricing method.

Additional Web Pages: The #1 Filler Of Website Design Packages. Now there's an analogy for you, huh. At least with food you get a more filling meal. And it's done, put them all in the same carton, toss on the same salt, you stick them all in the same vat of oil. And calling it a package deal seems to me like asking the visitor to buy for the burger but pay by the french fry, adding more web pages, taking your basic offer, getting back to my earlier analogy.
