While the price of a website will vary depending on your individual needs, here is a breakdown of the general costs incurred by a website:

What Does a Website Cost?

• Domain Name: $10-$100 per year for new domains Some old domains can sell for millions, but you probably want your own new one.

•  

• Hosting: $100/month; $50 – $1,200/year.

• This depends on the type of hosting you choose (dedicated, shared, free).
  Additional fees may be required for additions like SSL (Secure Socket Layer certificate) or static IP Address.

•  

• Custom Design/Information Architecture: $2,500 – $10,000+

• This includes the visual design, UX design, imagery collection, and sitemap and page structure generation.
  This is generally a part of a larger website development package.

•  

• Shopping Cart Integration & Programming: $200 – $15,000

• What kind of functionality do you want in your website? Shopping carts, paid plugins, and custom feature development can cost extra, but the benefits of a fully customized and unique website can outweigh the costs.

•  

• Website Content Creation: $50-$200 per page, or hourly

• You can write your website’s content yourself, outsource it overseas for around $1 per page, or use a content writing firm which will charge around $100-$200 per page. Just like a website design, you get what you pay for when it comes to content creation that will rank your site high in search engines and engage your audience.

•  

• Project Management & Information Gathering: $600-$3,000

•  

• Testing & Training: $600-$4,800

• While most websites are built on easy-to-use CMS’ nowadays, not everyone knows how to get started with them. This price point includes the time spent training you how to use your new site, as well and ensuring that everything works properly and giving you the chance to make any necessary changes.

•  

• Website Managed Services: $75-$150+/month
