How Much Does A Good Website Cost?
OK so you want to know how much all this will cost? Well probably less than you thought. It would be impossible to give a list of standard prices because every client will have seperate requirements. Our prices start at £349 inclusive for a basic one page web presence including your own email address, and domain name (i.e. www.your-business.co.uk).
The Chiweb compact package is specially designed for sole traders, small businesses/projects, and the serious hobbyist and costs from £399 plus VAT.
This may be substantially more than some of the pre-packaged website builders available but at Chiweb Merseyside we only provide a bespoke service to ensure that all websites are constructed exactly according to client specifications. This does increase costs. If you are new to the internet or do not have the budget to spend at the moment then a website builder may well be the direction to go in, at least for the early stages of your web business.
We recommend Freestart for a cheaper alternative. They provide web packages that you control for an affordable price. They have a great selection of template based sites with cutting edge graphics that can also be customised with your business logo and colours.
The overall cost for a site built and maintained by Chiweb will depend upon the amount of maintenance your site requires. This means how many times a week/year/month you want to update the information on the site and any other changes you may wish to make. You can choose for these charges to be on an ad hoc basis or purchase a maintenance package starting from £50 inclusive for the whole year.
The best way to get a quote is to contact us but these illustrations may help to give you some idea:-
A one page web presence optimised for search engines, a uk domain name, an email address based upon your domain name, submission to search engines, plus a maintenance package allowing up to two changes of information for the first 12 months = £399.
Ten pages of content, personalised graphic design with logo, face to face consultation, a .com domain name, five email addresses, search engine optimisation, an accessibility report, and a maintenance package with monthly updates = £799.
