Is the price of your website costing you? - Part 2
This article was written by Matt Roach
If we look at the pricing of websites then firstly we have to consider what a website is. A website can range from a single webpage to a massive database controlled interactive portal. The prices of these websites could range from a couple of beers (to a bloke down the pub who’s good with computers) to millions of pounds.
There
are many pricing structures for websites but they are usually split
into two parts firstly the design and development of the site and
secondly ongoing costs.
Website design
costs all come from the time spent getting the exact functions and
'look' you want. These hours of development can cost you between next
to nothing and millions because one website maybe being generated
automatically with little human input whilst the other may have a whole
design team working on it for weeks.
Ongoing
costs include things like the continued registration of your website
address, hosting of your website and license fees for specialist
software e.g. CMS (editing your own site), E-commerce (online
shopping), email campaigns (marketing) etc. So once again it is
possible to choose low monthly costs but at the cost of speed,
reliability and functionality.
So when
comparing website prices remember to compare like with like. There are
so many options out there that if you simply base your buying decision
on purchase price you may be buying what you think can afford in the
short term but won't be buying what you need or what will support your
business in the long term.
So before
you consider the cost of a website please consider the purchase price
against your business goals and objectives and what the website will
achieve for you.
