Websites with a content management system usually cost from around £1500* upwards depending on the functionality and complexity of your individual requirements.
We have 2 tiers of e-commerce websites; firstly a basic level of e-commerce integrated with Paypal at around £1500* and the second level is a more bespoke solution starting from around £3500* – again price depending on your own individual requirements.
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).
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.
