So, you want a new website? That’s great! Considering the potential for business exposure, you have made a good decision. Profit expansion is your new possibility, but, what are the costs?
The do-it-yourself way
The best way to price out your do-it-yourself website, is through research. Search online for items such as stock photo costs. Log into a website building platform such as WordPress, and play around if you have time. That way, you will begin to learn how websites work and what it takes to build one. Phone some local web design companies and get some solid design estimates, (usually $2,000.00 per website project). Costs vary greatly, but beware of amateur graphic and web designers. You may not get what you pay for.
