Website Design The Cost of a Website

I was on Craigslist today and saw a person advertising that he would create a website for 200 Euro. This is a reasonable price but not a reasonable offer. It is not possible for a doctor to tell you what medicine to take unless you tell him what ails you. In the same sense, a website designer can not honestly offer a service without knowing your business, your existing client base, your prospective clients and your overall objective.

A one page website designed to give out one bit of information and gather contact data or make that one sale is much different than a website created to advertise a restaurant or an online mall. These are only 3 example of the multitude of different type sites that can be created. Each of these different type websites has its own form and buying a generic off the shelf solution will probably not meet your needs.

This does not take into consideration niche markets. Does your market require the heavy use of video or animation? Does your market only sell to government organizations? Does your market have a high penetration in the international markets? Does your site … ? Every objective is different, so every site should be different as well.

Would you consider having a blog as your main website? Many people look down on this idea but if you have a constant flow of information, if may be your best bet. Would you consider having only one flash animation for your entire site? A one page website is not that uncommon and in certain areas this can be appropriate.

The Craigslist guy was good for an "I Love Me" page, and not much else, but probably worth the 200 Euro. For the rest of us plan on spending a bit of change for your logo - search online, you can find them at 19DollarLogos for (will it shock you if I say 19 Dollars?) 19 Dollars. For that kind of page you are safe with the lower price.

If you have the skills to do it yourself, it costs you the time. If not, plan on spending at least $1000 to get a site up and running, and make sure you budget for the changes, things always need changes.
