Website Design - The Costs

website design and development logo The setup costs for a basic website to showcase your products could be as little as $1,000 to $2,000. More complex websites to showcase your products could cost as much as $20,000.

Basic eCommerce website setup costs are a little more expensive at $1,800 to $4,000. While a custom built eCommerce website fully customised to your specifications could cost $10,000 to $80,000.

The key factors affecting cost are:

the size and complexity of you product/service data that you want to showcase
the functionality you want your visitors to be able to perform on your website
the brand image you want to incorporate into your website

So the lowest cost will be a basic website showcasing a small product group, using a template layout. The other end of the scale is a website that has many products, allows the visitors to buy your products online and is fully customised to your specifications.

We suggest that your first question should be what is the purpose of my website? The next consideration is to work out your budget. With this information at hand, you can contact some local web designers and start to get a feel for what your budget will get for you.
