How Much To Design A Site Like This?

Hi,

Ok everyone - found that there's really not that many of these existing sites around for sale so it looks like I'm going to have to bite the bullet and have the site designed from scratch.

I need a ball park estimate from you as to how much it would cost to design/code a site similar to these:

www.dogster.com
www.wellbredpets.com
www.nextdaypets.com
www.dogbreedadvice.com

Let me know what cost wise and approx how long it would take you to complete using the above sites as a guide.

Thanks!

 

Do you mean just a template or a coded website?

 

Looking for a coded website

 

my best guess would be
portal $100
forum $165
seo $130
per hrs cost

 

I have just sent you a PM with the rates and time frame.

 

All - due to some questions I received:

The majority of the above sites contain these, but just to reiterate that these will have to be considered:

- I believe that a majority of the content on the site will require utilizing a database (probably MySQL) for breed characteristics, names, traits, searchs by these, etc
- A forum will have to be intergrated
- A user classified section is needed
- Will need user photo gallery & site photo gallery
- Will need to add video api (probably You-tube)
- A back end admin panel is required
- Adsense integration

Let me know price range and approx how long it would take you to complete using the above sites as a guide.

Thanks to all those that have replied so far and I will let everyone know when a decision on who to have do the job is made.

 

Just thought I'd let you know that http://www.dogbreedadvice.com/ uses Joomla. www.joomla.org

 

wyrd33,
Wow - they have redesigned the site from the last time I looked at it! Really changed the look. I like Joomla's features - just not sure if it's really right for this type of site.

Thanks for the info!

 

Hey passkey, have you found a designer to do the site?

I would be happy to help you on this. Drop me reply on my PM.
