Answers

  1. How much will a web site cost me?

    It all depends on your requirements, design and functionality of the site. Websites with a content management system usually cost from around £2000* upwards depending on the complexity of your individual requirements.

     

    As a guideline for the amount of resource required for e-commerce websites, we build bespoke solutions starting from around £3500* – again price depending on your own individual requirements.  You may wish to consider allocating the same budget again in order to drive traffic to the site in the first 6 months of launch.

    The other variable is the corporate identity. If you already have a logo and corporate identity, we can adopt this style. However, if you don't have anything, logo design can start from about £500 upwards (plus VAT) - again depending on the project.

     

    Hosting is £150 plus VAT per year and you may need to consider purchasing stock photography to liven the site up. Royalty free images can be purchased from around £10 upwards (plus VAT).

  2. What are the ongoing costs involved in a website?

    This all depends on your online business plan and what type of website you have. 

     

    If you have a content management system in the website, the only ongoing costs you may have are annual hosting charges, as you will have the flexibility built in to the website to make content changes yourself.

     

    If you can foresee that you will want to make regular improvements and developments to the website as part of your overall online strategy, we can arrange an annual maintenance contract which allows you to set aside a regular budget.

     

    Alternatively, we can provide quotations for updates and developments on an ad hoc basis to suit your needs.
     

    The only other ongoing cost involved is the £150 plus VAT annual hosting charge (rental of the server space where your website is located) and domain name renewal.
