How much should Blog Design Cost?
There's a big difference between a custom-designed blog and the free one you ran across while doing an internet search!  Why should you want a custom blog, and how much should you be willing to spend?



A lot of work goes into creating a blog that matches the look & feel of your site.  Clients are often surprised when they find out that a blog can be an extra cost.  However, if you take a look around, you'll find that professionals charge anywhere from $1500-$2500-and that's for the most basic design! (check out this article on blog design costs:

Doing the graphic design and matching it to an existing website can cost money, then you have to consider that a web developer converts that graphic design into functional CSS/XHTML.

If you want a professionally designed, functional blog, that's built to the highest standards, you'll want to put some money into it.

I've designed many blogs. Too many think a website design can be used to create a blog for free. Even if the website was created in a CMS that has a built in blog, the blog styles still have to be created. Worse, if the site is designed in a system that doesn't include a blog, the blog needs to be created in HTML and CSS specific to the blog software. Bottom line, creating blog designs either from scratch or based off of an existing design can be time consuming and expensive.
