Web Design Packages and Prices
Most web design companies don't put prices on their websites. I am quite happy to display mine, because I am confident that they represent excellent value for money. Furthermore, I give each of my clients this guarantee: you wont find anybody within 100 miles who will design websites of the standard that I provide, for anything close to the prices I charge.

Web Design Packages
A successful website is made up of many parts, which sometimes makes it difficult for someone who wants a website to compare and contrast their options. Rather than charge for each page on a website, or for the hours it takes to make (two ways of doing business I consider highly inflexible), Highlight offers services in the form of packages.
Basic - £399
The entry level package, this is a great option for those who want a simple brochure site that wont break the bank. While the design is less intricate than the standard package, and the search engine optimisation less comprehensive, the basic package still consists of all the components needed for a profitable website. Starting from the first consultation, we'll take you through the step by step process towards achieving an attractive, well designed website that highlights all of your companies' best features.

Hourly Rate
There are circumstances where my packages don't quite fit - say for example that you've already spent a fortune on an E-commerce site that you're fairly happy with, but want to fix a few bugs: you're not going to want to pay me to remake the whole thing! In those situations, I offer the following prepaid blocks of time:
- 1 hour - £20
- 8 hours - £150
- 12 hours - £200
Every hour I spend working on your project is recorded, and you'll receive an itemised summary of where the time was spent at the end of the block of time.
Payment
I accept payment by bank transfer, cash, Paypal or cheque (payable to Liam Field).
Unfortunately, because of associated administrative costs, there is an additional 5% surcharge added to Paypal payments, and an additional 10% surcharge added to payments by cheque.
