How Much Does a Website Cost?
You might be wondering, “How much does a website really cost?”
It’s a common question, but it’s not a simple one to answer. Think of it like asking how long is a piece of string—there are lots of factors to consider!
To give you the best quote, I will ask you some important questions, like:
- Do you have a logo or branding?
- How many pages do you want on your site?
- What images do you have or need?
- How much content (like text) will you have on each page? And who is going to write it?
- Are you planning to sell products online? If so, how many and are there any variations for each item?
- Who will be visiting your site and do you need to track the visitors and which pages they go to?
- Do you need any special features, like email marketing or video content?
To help you understand the costs involved, I have broken down my pricing into three simple sections:
1. Building Your Website
This is the price for designing and creating your website. It includes everything from setting up the layout to adding your content and images.
2. Maintaining Your Website
Once your website is live, there are ongoing costs. This includes things like software licenses, tech support, and regular updates to keep everything running smoothly.
3. Change Requests
If you want to make any changes or add new features to your website after it’s launched, this is where you’ll find the costs.
I charge an hourly fee for any pay-as-you-go updates or additions.
