Why website estimates quadruple

Approximately 4 minutes to read BlueCanvas

Even though we are creating the same website, why are the estimates so different?

This is because conditions, not budget, determine the amount. The number of pages, design method, administrator function, and multilingual support are given points, and the grade is determined by the sum of the scores. If you select administrator function and multiple languages ​​together, you will be moved to a higher grade regardless of the score.

Key takeaways

  • The creation of a new website is based on BlueCanvas cost estimate. 5 million wonstart from 20 million wonIt goes up to.
  • It's not your budget that determines the amount, it's four questions. Points are given for number of pages, design style, admin features, and multilingual support.
  • If you select both administrator features and multiple languages, you will move to premium regardless of your score. We disclose this exception to our calculation rules.

It's the same website, but the price is four times higher.

BlueCanvas Instant estimateIN website New production is divided into three classes: Below is the published price list, all excluding VAT.

ratingamount
Basic type5 to 8 million won
standard type8 million ~ 13 million won
premium13 million ~ 20 million won

If you compare the basic lower limit of 5 million won and the premium upper limit of 20 million won, it is four times higher. Comparing the lower limits, it is 2.6 times higher. Even though it is the same “website production,” let’s take the reason why it happens so much from the calculation rules.

Setting your price is just four questions

How much you write down in your budget does not determine the amount. Each answer is given points, and the grade is determined by the sum.

questionlow answerhigh answer
number of pages0 points+3 or +6
design method0 points (template)+3 (custom design)
Administrator function0 points (none)+2 (yes)
multilingual0 points (Korean only)+2 (multilingual)

A total of 0 to 2 points is basic type, 3 to 7 points is standard type, and 8 points or more is premium type.

There is one combination that skips the score

There are exceptions. If you select administrator features and multiple languages ​​together, you get a premium regardless of the score.This happens. Even for a five-page template site, 5 million won starts from 13 million won.

The reason is that the workload itself varies. If the content increases as the number of languages ​​increases, and the administrator wants to manage the content by language, the data structure must be set differently from the beginning. The nature of this is different from creating a Korean website and then just adding translations.

There is one reason why we first reveal exceptions to our calculation rules. This is because the amount comes from conditions, not bargaining.

Amount added outside of production costs

If you only compare totals, you may miss some items. Costs other than production costs are also listed in the same table. Since the units are different, they do not add up.

Platform maintenance900,000 ~ 1.6 million wonmonth

Four things to keep in mind when comparing quotes

If you receive a quote from each company that only lists the total amount, there is no comparison. You must set the four values ​​below to the same value to get the amount under the same conditions.

  1. number of pages — How many screens are created?
  2. design method — Is it a template or a custom design?
  3. Administrator function — Is there a screen to edit directly?
  4. multilingual — How many languages ​​are supported?

The estimate is four times

According to BlueCanvas cost estimate, the production of a new website starts at 5 million won. The upper end is 20 million won. I saw where the fourfold difference came from.

four questions

It's not your budget that determines your price, it's four questions. Each answer is given points, and the grade is determined by the sum.

Combinations to Skip Score

There is one exception. If you choose both administrator features and multiple languages, it is premium. Even for a five-page template site, 5 million won becomes 13 million won.

Amount outside of production costs

Amounts other than production costs are also listed in the same table. Hosting starts from 180,000 won per year, maintenance starts from 180,000 won per month, and VAT is excluded.

When comparing quotes, try to guess the four things, not the total amount. We've made that calculation public.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is it premium if you choose admin features and multiple languages ​​together?

This is because if two items overlap, the data structure will be different. It is necessary to save content separately for each language, edit the language separately on the administrator screen, and even use a different address system and search response for each language. The score total cannot capture this structural change, so it was left as a separate rule.

Is the cost estimate amount the actual contract amount?

no. This is the estimated range calculated based on the published price list and the conditions you have selected. It will be confirmed after checking the requirements. However, since the calculation rules themselves have been made public, you can check in advance under what conditions the amount will increase.

Another company's quote is much cheaper, what is left out?

I can't say for sure what was left out. If the conditions are different, the amount will be different. Set the number of pages, design method, administrator functions, and multilingualism to the same values ​​and compare again. If the conditions are the same but there is a big difference, you can ask what the difference is.

Is it necessary to contract for maintenance?

It is not mandatory. However, there are tasks that can lead to accidents if put off, such as certificate renewal, plugin updates, and server security checks. If you can handle it internally, you can operate it without a contract. If not, you can choose between monthly maintenance or case-by-case modification.

I have made the calculation public.

If you click on the conditions directly, the estimated amount will appear on the screen first. Contact information will be received later. The actual quotation will be confirmed after confirming the requirements.
