These are the two questions I get asked most when clients are looking to build a website.
What Kind of Website Do I Need? And What Do Websites Cost? This is a bit like asking What kind of Car do I need? And what do Cars cost? It varies, depending on your needs and the budget you have.
So let’s look at the different types of websites, along with an indication of cost.
WordPress Websites
The WordPress Websites we build range from ….. $395 (Simple Start-Up Website for a new business on a very tight budget) to ….. $495 to $695 (Website for an established business with a reasonable budget) to ….. Up to $995 (ECommerce Website selling hundreds of items)
We will go into more detail later.
HTML Websites
HTML Websites usually cost less ($195 to $395, depending on the complexity) but are far less flexible and difficult to work on yourself unless you know HTML.
“Websites To Go” Template Websites
Template Websites are usually cheaper ($95 to $195) because we start with a basic website template and customise it with your business details, contact details, images of your business etc. The other big advantage of Template Websites is that they can be ready in 2-3 days of you getting your info to us.
What One-Page “Websites to Go” Look Like
Guaranteed Page One Websites
These are provided via a Special Deal we can set up with you, using Google Adwords. Note that Google itself says NO-ONE can guarantee you a Google page one ranking from Organic Search Engine Rankings.
Website Budget
Your Website Budget is often the determining factor, especially for new, start-up businesses. We discuss what you need in a website, how much you have to spend on your website, and how we can get the most bang for your bucks.
Website Security
Website Security is important, and something we do first when designing your website. WordPress is the most secure provided you know what you are doing. WordPress has hundreds of Plugins designed to keep your website safe
Website Flexibility
Website Flexibility may or may not be important to you. If your website is hardly ever going to change, we may be able to get away with a cheaper HTML website – but see below re Website User Friendliness. If your website content will be changing frequently, we recommend a WordPress website.
Website User Friendliness
If Website User Friendliness is important to you – stay away from HTML! WordPress is very user-friendly and will usually be a team job between you and me. The more technical aspects I handle for you, but many changes you can make yourself. WordPress has several levels of “Users.” As an “Administrator”, I can look after Settings, Themes, Plugins, Security, WordPress Updates etc for you. As an “Editor” you can add new content to your website yourself (IF you wish to) – Certainly, if you know your way around MS Word a little training will help you save money by doing new content yourself.
Custom Website Look
A Custom Website look is very important to most people, and we recommend this. We have special software that allows us to create exactly what you want for your WordPress website. The Images below show some of the things you want to think about, or you can gather 2-3 website addresses of existing websites that you like the look of for us to look at.
Website Sliders or Videos?
All Websites come with EITHER Website Sliders or Videos. If you want both Sliders AND Videos this can be provided for an additional cost.
Website Backlinks
Website Backlinks are essential – we can provide some backlinks to all the different kinds of websites we create. We also show you the special backlinks you MUST have.
