How To Quote A TYPO3 Project's Cost?

How to quote the TYPO3 project depends mainly on following things,

1. Size of the TYPO3 project
2. Choice of Design and features
3. Level of Complexity of required functionalities
4. The value, skills, and expertise you provide
5. Important SEO, GDPR, and Speed Performance integrations
6. Project management, communication, and value to your prospective clients.

For large B2B companies, visitors already know about the company or come back to visit multiple times. Visitors will then want to find information that is well written and organized, making the presentation of content the most valuable factor of the site. Probably in combination with a visually appealing design that communicates high quality.

If your agency can deliver the value, you can price your website projects accordingly. The number of templates on the site, the time it takes to code it, or the price your client “had in mind” could be far from what your efforts and charges.

“Find out what your clients need and fill them better than anyone else, and you’ll dominate your entire market.” – Lisa Macqueen

In order to quote effectively, you must do some on-net research about the standard pricing and cost of different assets that might be used in the project.

Apart from the above-mentioned point, you must note down points that may be an addition to your charge for the clients.

• Project Management time
• Design & Development time.
• The cost of any purchase like premium plugins & plugin license.
• The cost of any other resources such as stock photographs etc.
• Estimated extra time for some work that is quite new to you (In case the client wants you to work on such plugins or themes you’re not familiar with, so estimated time to learn about their functioning).
• The cost of server space or hosting or registration of domain if required.
•  The list of these elements can incredibly guide you to set realistic and accurate prices for your services.

Regardless of your strategy for how to quote your website projects, it’s a good idea to figure out how much time you’ll need to put into it.

Most agencies will draw from experience, but that’s not always a guarantee that they end up with a good estimate. Make it a practice to create a breakdown of the hours needed from each role.

TYPO3 Web design

We’ve seen agencies spend anywhere from 4 hours to 12 weeks to create web designs or an hour to study the design provided by customers. The first task in PSD to TYPO3 is to slice down all the images & elements for further proceedings. The professionals cut and divide the existing PSD image file. This converts the file into several design files and each one of them contains multiple design components of the complete design.

We follow the standard method of slicing and image optimization so that developers use them accordingly during development.

My two recommendations are:

• Learn how fast your designer is
• Study the design files and prepare technical documentation
• Set clear expectations with your client regarding how many iterations are included in their price
• The fastest way to stop the change requests from coming in is to tell them it will cost extra. 

TYPO3 Development Costs

The Foremost thing for TYO3 Project includes front-end and backend, i.e Front end development and TYPO3 backend development.

Obviously, each TYPO3 project is different, but some main factors drive development time and costs:

• Number of unique page templates
• Sections per page
• Content moving
• Features – Front-End
• Features – Back-End
• Using those factors you can break down a range of projects, from a simple brochure-like website to a multifunctional e-commerce platform. 

QA Testing & Project management

Last but not least, make sure to consider the time you’ll need to spend on project management and client communication. Failing to charge for management time can hurt your profit and project performance for customers too, and if someone does not charge you about project management, testing and deployment be confident makeup for it with a higher hourly rate.
