Custom Website Design How much does it cost for a website?

Obtaining a website for your company or business does not cost as much as you may expect and as a freelancer with very few overheads. We are able to offer effective web site designs at really competitive prices with the aim of providing you with a cost effective, quality eyecatching website, that has a good ranking in Google for an affordable price.

There are basically three main costs involved when designing a site.

1. Name Registration - The first step is to purchase a domain name for your site, otherwise know as 'your web address' or 'your url'. You can check domain name availability here. We are able to purchase your domain name and hosting for you.

Prices start at £10 for a .co.uk name for two years.

2. Website Hosting - As well as purchasing a domain name, web hosting will also need to be purchased, this is effectively space on a providers server where your web pages are stored. (Please note this is generally payable as a lump sum for one years hosting). Again you can relax and put your feet up as weIl purchase this on your behalf.

Prices start at £12p.a for a .co.uk domain name.

3. Website Design - Obviously all designs are unique, and different clients require different functionality, so we have listed some approximate costing's below to give an idea of what you will get for your money. All prices include the domain name and hosting. STANDARD WEBSITES A straightforward design with no additional requirements such as dynamic news pages, password protected pages etc..Cost largely depends upon how many pages the client requires, but typically a ten to fifteen page site of this nature, including domain name and hosting will cost, approx £200.00 for the first 5 pages and an additional £25.00 per page. Ask for a quote.

ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONALITY

You may require a website that you can update yourself, or you may wish to have a bulletinboard or guestbook etc. on your site - this is what is described as 'additional functionality'. Again cost depends upon the number of pages you require and the functionality you require, but a typical price range, including domain and hosting would be, approx £500 - £750.

DATABASE DRIVEN SITES

If you are intending to update your website on a regular basis, or need to store a lot of information and provide search facilities to your users a database driven site may be required. A good example would be a property agency who would be able to add/edit/delete properties at will from a database that would also enable front end users to search the database for a property by area, location, price. No two enquires are ever the same, but basically the more complex the site the higher the cost of designing the site. We have designed database driven sites for as little as £650...however due to the nature of this type of site please contact us for a quote..

ECOMMERCE WEBSITES

Ecommerce websites, or online shops cost slightly more due to the complexity of the programming and the fact that they generally require a database to store the products. Another consideration is how you intend to process payments..do you have a pdq machine or will you require an online payment processor like Paypal.

Please ask for a quote

If you are considering setting up a website that has products for sale on it, please email us your requirements, in as much details as possible so we can then send you a quote in due course. In summation if you require a website please contact us with your requirements, we will then provide you with a quote and if that is satisfactory we then take care of all of the above and in a few weeks time you will have a new website! Site Optimisation - Requirements vary, but prices start at £150 for a basic effective web site optimisation review/update. Servicing Offer Your web site may need to be updated on a regular basis, with information about your company or products, this should be considered at the outset of your proposal.

I do however offer a service where the site is updated and maintained by myself as and when you request it. Obviously there will be a small regular charge and will be dependent upon the frequency of updates.
