As a web designer, I'm frequently asked this question -
How much does a website cost?
Just as it costs more in both time and materials to build the mansion than the tiny house on wheels, it's more work to build a website with many pages, blogging, social networking, and ecommerce features than to build a simple ten-page informational site.
One is not necessarily better than the other. It depends on your needs and purpose.
But, how much does a website cost? Once I determine your needs, I can give you an accurate price, but the information on this page provides general price ranges.
After the initial consultation, I'll create a proposal specifying what the site will include. That will be a firm price unless additional pages or features are desired for the site. In that case, I will price those addons separately.
$1500+ Budget Site
Small sites that display basic information including text and images can be a good way to start if you have a limited budget and would like to establish a web presence. You can always expand the site later.
