Price guide

How much does a website cost?

These are actual invoiced charges from previous projects in order to give you an idea of what it costs to own your own website. Use these figures as a guideline only. All projects are unique and some take longer than others. Contact me for a no-obligation quote.

Other expenses

In addition to the development costs illustrated above, owning a website incurs certain periodic costs. The first expense is registering a domain name (e.g. www.yourcompany.co.uk). This will cost you up to £10 per year. The second expense is hosting (space on a webserver where your website is stored) which costs about £50 per year for a fairly large (500MB) site. Finally there is the question of updating the contents of your website. Are you going to pay someone each time you need an update? Or is a monthly contract a better solution? Contact me for details of weekly update packages.

How much is your time worth?

In addition to financial outlay, there is also certain amount of regular administrative maintenance which must be performed (renewing subscriptions, adjusting DNS forwarding, and the like). - these are included in my weekly update packages or can be handled on an as-and-when basis and billed by the hour.
