General Development Costs
Website development costs are based on the number of hours invested in each individual project. Our services are $65/hr, and basic web design projects average 7 to 10 hours to complete, plus additional hours estimated for client content transfer (inputing client images, copy, and other forms of media and materials into the site). Content transfer estimates are based on the anticipated type and volume of client content, probable content editing, and the complexity of the site's design into which client content shall be set.
Other cost considerations included in pricing:
Special Web Applications
Website forms and modules into which visitors to your site input their personal information require special web applications to function. At the close of each project, web applications are finalized (i.e. contact forms are encoded with an e-mail address to which site visitor information can be sent.
Supplemental Pages
Where forms are included, supplemental pages, like 'thank you' and 'error message' pages offer site visitors a well-rounded navigational experience. Our designers use a number of standard messeges that are edited to fit your site's content and the forms employed.
Internal Site Linking
During the client content transfer process, page names are changed from their defaults to suit your site's specific field or genre. All links within the page code and flash works must be changed to coincide with these names once they are set.
Partnership Pages
For every site our designers build, EtherJungle.com will put together a page (per your request) of online partners who have agreed to trade links with your site. Trading links with relevant partners develops your online presence by encouraging a better showing of your website in search engine results.

Search Engine Optimization
EtherJungle.com's professional web design team naturally optimize the websites they build to a 'baseline' standard of site optimization, which considers such variables as header construction, content volume, keyword/keyword phrase inclusion, image shrinking and other forms of media compression for faster downloads, and much, much more. Search engines like highly focused, relavant websites that are quick to download and easy to navigate.
Baseline optimization variable details and descriptions:
Header Construction
Headers provide crutial information about your site that search engines use to help identify what your site is about and how best to place your site with respect to online searches. Headers include individual pages titles, descriptions and keyword selections (among other elements), and are a necessary and important part of your site's construction.
Content Volume
EtherJungle.com web designers strike a balance between the use of media, like flash, and actual encoded copy to develope your site's showing in organic search results. Search engines cannot read content found in flash. Encoding valuable, relevant content significantly improves your site for searches.
Keyword Inclusion
Our web design plans incorporate keyword/keyword phrase inclusion from the start. There are no extra fees for this service. Our designers research your particular site's field or genre and develop a list of highly specific keywords/keyword phrases, which are then written into your site's encoding, strategically placed.
Media Compression
Most search engines rate websites that employ compression strategies higher than competing sites that do not. The compression of media elements (such as images, flash animation, sound bites, and movie clips) keep site 'http request' low and allow requests that must be made to download quicker, bolstering your site's navigability ratings.
Please note that EtherJungle.com no longer offers more extensive website optimization strategies alongside our web design, as such strategies to improve a website's showing in search results have been found to be less effective in testing than in previous years. This is because popular search engines now employ more advanced means of determining site identity that allow well-written, truly informative websites, incorporating a multitude of media forms to fair better in searches where the content found therein has been deemed relevant and appropriate to the topic.
