What does a basic website cost?

What does a basic business look like? Since we have never seen a basic business, we would have no idea how to build a website for it! Every business is unique and a good designer will design a unique website for each client. A good website will provide the information potential customers want. You can get a website for free, but what does it cost to lose a customer to a competitor's site? A business web site is designed to find new customers for your business. The initial cost of a website must be considered as an investment in future business or it's simply a waste of money, regardless of what it costs.

Each SEO web site design client is cost protected by our money back guarantee. When you request website design or website optimizing services, you will be given a firm costs quote including a list of measurable deliverables. No vague promises and no costly surprises! The cost to fix website mistakes can be avoided, if you hire a good business designer to begin with.

A good business web site should cost nothing!

The best reason to have a company website, is to help a new customer find your business. A website that fails to find customers is simply a costly business mistake. The initial cost of a good website should be repaid many times over. If not, why have a company website? The cost to design a business web site always depends on the competition your site will face. Our site competes in arguably the largest category on the web. You can find web site designers everywhere! To date, we have invested more than 1000 hours in this site. If we had to pay the cost of a good web designer, a realistic cost would be about $75,000 dollars. Since a business website must generate new clients to be profitable, search engine results will ultimately determine how cost effective it is to have a company website. Your potential new customers know how to search using a search engine, because the web has become how to find information about a company. Unless your site can get good search results, those potential customers will become someone else's new customer.

We frequently hear of websites that cost many thousands of dollars, generating no new customers, getting no search engine referrals and having existing customers complain that they can't use the website, even after they find it. The cost of a user friendly site can be the best business investment you make. This site describes the value of a good website design. Our search engine results for what is a business web site and how to find business information, proves that we know how to get good search results.

Business web site design costs are based on the web page component costs

It takes a number of components to build a good web page. Each component takes time to build. The most time consuming, and therefore the most costly component of a web page is text information. Writing for the web is a lot different than simply writing advertising copy.

Writing a good web page can take 8-20 hours!

An average web page cost breakdown

Obviously, economy of scale will make a 100 page website less costly/page than a 10-15 page website. Each of the above components has a different hourly rate, depending on the skill and experience required. A good graphic artist will get $20-40/hour. A good technical writer charges $25-50/hour. A good programmer will cost $25-60/hour and a good seo can charge from $60-300/hour. Our search engine optimizer obviously understands how to get good results on search engines and only charges $100/hour for optimizing a website. Since each business website project is unique, the costs are different for each type and size of site. The only way to get an accurate cost for a website, is to understand what you want and then ask for a fixed cost quote. Asking any web designer, How much is a website, without defining what you expect, is a sure way to get a website that won't work! We would like to dispel the myth that you can simply hire a good web designer for $20/hour! What you're hiring, is a kid that has learned how to build a beautiful web site with a text editor. You could do it yourself for free! Good business sites are hand built, by professional designers.

* A good page design will be the same on every page of a website. Once you have the basic layout, it can be duplicated. It usually takes a full day to get it right.
