Web Development Project Estimator

The Web Development Project Estimator is a simple tool that allows web designers and site developers to quickly and thoroughly estimate the time and materials required for a proposed web project.

When finished, you can view your finalized estimate in a print-ready format in case you’d like to save a PDF or print a copy for your records.

The tool does not offer any benefit over a Google spreadsheet, but there’s a lot of freelance web designers/developers who don’t have an estimating process at all and it was created for them.
