Sell Web Design Services Online: Website Design Packages on a Gig Page That Takes Orders
Package landing pages, five-page sites, and full builds into three fixed tiers with the pages, revisions and delivery time written down. A small business owner reads the scope, picks a package and sends the order, without a proposal or a discovery call first.

Every seller sets their own scope, delivery time, and price.
Selling web design services online works best as fixed website design packages that show pages, revisions, delivery time and price before the client messages you. Upwork prices a landing page at $300 to $1,500 and a business website at $1,500 to $5,000 on its own hiring page. On a $1,500 site, the platform you sell through changes what you keep: $1,200 on Fiverr, $1,350 on Upwork at a 10% talent fee, $1,380 on our Starter plan and $1,500 on Contra, where the client pays a $29 fee instead. The bigger lever is price: the US employed median for web and digital interface designers is $50.00 an hour.
Why sell here
Why sell web design on FreelanceNation
Your gig page is your marketing. Fiverr has the marketplace but a faceless URL. Stan and Linktree give you a page with no buyers behind it. Here you get both, at a fairer take.
A shareable, SEO gig page
Your web design gig is a public page built to be posted on social and to rank in Google, so buyers find you by search and by share.
A marketplace behind it
Every share funnels buyers into the whole marketplace, and the marketplace sends new buyers who search your category back to your gig.
A fairer take
Keep more of every sale than the 20% or more you pay on legacy marketplaces. Fixed tiers, self-serve checkout, your page.
What you can sell
Web Design gigs that sell well here

Your buyers are small businesses, startups, and creators who search for web design and buy a fixed tier without the back-and-forth.
Benchmarks
What web design work pays in the US in 2026
Every row names its source. Employed figures are medians for staff designers and behave like a floor; marketplace figures describe what freelancers list, not what any one project clears.
| Benchmark | Rate | Source and sample |
|---|---|---|
| Web and digital interface designers, employed US median | $50.00/hr, $104,000/yr | O*NET 15-1255.00, BLS 2025 wage data |
| Web designer, employed US average from job postings | $26.94/hr | Indeed, 585 salaries, range $13.42 to $54.09, updated 27 July 2026 |

Why the marketplace hourly rate is the wrong anchor for a US web designer
Three published numbers describe the same job and they do not agree. The federal median for employed web and digital interface designers is $50.00 an hour. Indeed's average across 585 job postings is $26.94. Upwork's hiring page tells clients a web designer generally costs $15 to $30 an hour. The marketplace figure is between 30% and 60% of the federal median, because it is set by a global pool bidding on generic work. Now price the job instead of the hour. Upwork's own page puts a business website at $1,500 to $5,000. A $1,500 five-page site that takes 30 hours pays $50 an hour before fees, which is the federal median, and then $40 an hour on Fiverr after its 20% or $46 on our Starter plan after 8%. Self-employment tax and unpaid sales time still come out of that. The designers who clear the median are the ones who stop quoting hours and sell a named package to a named kind of business, so the client compares outcomes rather than hourly rates.
Questions sellers ask
Web Design gig work, answered
How do I sell web design services?
Sell web design services as fixed packages aimed at one type of client. Write down the pages, revisions, delivery time and price for three tiers, publish them on a page a client can order from, then share that link where those business owners already look. A named package converts better than a general offer to build websites.
Where can I sell web design services?
You can sell web design services on Fiverr, Upwork, Dribbble, Behance, Contra, Codeable and Toptal, or from a gig page you control. They differ in fees and in how clients find you. On a $1,500 website you keep between $1,200 on Fiverr and $1,500 on Contra; on our Starter plan you keep $1,380.
Where can I upload my portfolio and get contracted to do websites for a fixed price?
Fiverr, Dribbble, Contra and a FreelanceNation gig page all let you show your work next to fixed-price services. A gig page puts three website packages beside your portfolio so a client picks one and sends the order. Upwork, Codeable and Toptal lean on proposals, estimates or matching instead.
What should a website design package include?
A website design package should state the number of pages, whether a CMS or e-commerce is included, mobile responsiveness, basic on-page SEO, the number of revision rounds, who supplies copy and images, the delivery time and any post-launch support period. Anything not written into the package becomes an unpaid argument later.
How much should I charge for a website as a freelancer?
Price the project from your real hours and a target rate. A five-page business site that takes 30 hours at the $50 US employed median for web designers is $1,500, which matches the bottom of the $1,500 to $5,000 range Upwork gives clients for business websites. Add platform fees and tax before settling on a number.
Is Fiverr good for website design?
Fiverr is useful for small, clearly scoped website packages when you need buyers you cannot reach yet. It is the most expensive venue for the designer: 20% of every order, with a 5.5% buyer fee on top. On a $1,500 site you keep $1,200 and the client pays $1,582.50.
Where can I find web design clients?
Most paying web design clients come from referrals, from adjacent freelancers such as copywriters and SEO consultants, from marketplaces while you build reviews, and from a page that ranks for the service you sell in your niche. The last channel compounds instead of resetting whenever a platform changes its rules.
Should I charge hourly or per project for web design?
Charge per project for most website work. Clients buying a site want a total, and fixed packages stop them from auditing your hours. Hourly billing still fits open-ended development and maintenance, where the scope genuinely cannot be written down in advance.
