1. How much does a Web site cost?
This is a bit of a tricky question. The answer really depends on what services you are going to require. For a more detailed description of our pricing visit our Pricing page. In general, most of our Web sites average $1,500 for a ten page Web site design. Ten pages is usually more than adequate for a small business Web site.
2. Why do I have to pay a monthly fee to own a Web site?
The truth is you don’t. There are services out there that will allow you to host a Web site for free. The downside is that many times they will require you to advertise on their behalf and sometimes with content that is in direct competition with your own business. There are also less expensive hosting packages available from a variety of different sources. But most will only provide the hosting. If you want additional services you generally will need to pay for them. Our hosting is $35 per month and includes a variety of services already included in the price. Hosting costs you money because it costs us money to provide a reliable service to our clients.
3. Do I really need a Web site?
No, you don’t. You can have a successful business without a Web site. But the reality is that many of your competitors may already have a Web site or are considering getting one because they recognize the convenience and benefits of having one. Think about how much you are spending on printed advertising or telephone book advertising. Owning a Web site is a one time expenditure with a small monthly cost. A Web site is like a living brochure. You can put a lot of good information on your site and simply direct your clients to it.
4. How long does it take to get a Web site?
The answer to this question depends on a number of factors. But the single largest factor is how quickly and completely the client can provide the needed information for their Web site. The longer it takes to gather the required information the longer it will take to build the site. Often we can build a site in just a few weeks but more commonly it takes between 4 – 6 weeks to complete a Web site design project.
5. Can’t I just design my own Web site?
Yes. There is nothing preventing you from designing your own Web site. You can go and take a class at a community college or simply find a company that allows you to build your own site using one of their templates. Many times this is most cost effective. However, most business owners do not have time to sit down and learn about Web site design. And why should they? Most successful business owners focus their attention on their core business and outsource tasks like Web site design to companies such as ours.
