What does a Website Cost? Print E-mail
   
There are 2 components to the answer to this question, First there is the initial Design and Content Management side and then there is the ongoing Domain Registration, DNS Service and Website Hosting costs.  
   

Website Design Costs are determined by quotation and would take into consideration such things as how much content was to be displayed, the degree of customization the client required and the type of website infrastructure - Standard or CMS.

The cost for this component can run in the range of $300 for a very basic, low content site up to $5000 for a fully customized, static, high impact website.

 
We are finding that CMS sites with some customization of an existing template offers the biggest bang for the buck. The requirements are that there be some technical knowledge on the client side but we provide training and for around $1200 the client gets the ability to control his/her own site and alter it from any browser with easy to use yet powerful editing tools.
