How Much Will a Web Site Cost?

Posted in Design by 3wise Solutions with 0 comment(s)

Cost is always the first and foremost question with our clients when it comes to designing a web site.

You primarily buy to your budget and secondly to your business requirements; for example, as a successful single man or woman, just because you can afford a 15 bed mansion doesn't mean you'll buy it, you'd most likely buy a penthouse apartment near work and a buzzing social life. You tailor your solution to your requirements and budget.

Web site designs can cost from £100 to £1,000,000, your budget should primarily depend on how much money or the value of the new business your site is likely to generate. If you get your cousin/friend/nephew to build you a web site for £100-£400 then you might as well just take that money outside and set fire to it.

You've just entrusted the construction of the global window into your business to someone who knows a little about HTML, nothing or a little about your business, probably nothing about online marketing and most likely nothing about Search Engine Optimisation and Promotion.

Sounds harsh but building an online presence is a serious business, if you are serious about doing business outside of your normal marketing area, you need someone who knows about web site design, copywriting, usability and accessibility, online marketing and search engine optimisation. Contrary to what Kevin Costner was told in Field of Dreams, 'build it and they will come' doesn't work on the web, marketing your web site must to be done, but the rewards can be substantial!

Q: Hold on but if you're so good, why don't you appear in Google when I type in 'web site design'?

A: Web site designers are ten a penny, doesn't mean they are all good. We get most (about 80%) of our business through recommendation and referrals, just read our testimonials from clients at web site design testimonials.

If you go to Google.com and type in 'web site design' you get 103 million records returned and we're nowhere to be seen however if someone recommends us as '3 wise' on Google, we're usually between position 1 to 3 out of 9 million records. We want customers to find us who are serious about making their business more profitable, not those looking for cheap 'web site design'.

We have solutions to fit most budgets from low-cost setup and monthly leasing to custom-built projects.
