“Website” is a pretty general term. There are lots of different kinds, and so the question at hand is similar to “How much does a new car cost?” It’s all about figuring out what you need, what you want, and where “what you can afford” fits in.

To give you an idea though, working with me the average cost of a website is around $1500 - $2000. Depending on your needs or how much you’ve prepared, you might see your own price tag a good deal greater or possibly even lower.

For as little as $1500 you get:

  1. A custom design
  2. A complete Content Management System
  3. Your site built using state of the art technologies such as XHTML, CSS and PHP
  4. Plenty of nifty, defacto standards such as a site search and contact form
  5. Web Standards (ie, the piece of mind that your site will work across all of the major browsers, platforms and even on up to date mobile phones and PDAs)
  6. Accessibility, so that as many people as possible can view your site
  7. An optional blog that can be used for reviews, specials, updates (or even just as a blog!)

Other features such as

  • Enewsletter Management System
  • Forums
  • Photo Gallery
  • PayPal Integration

can all be implemented for around $500 each.

And there are oodles of bowls full of noodles worth of features that you can add to your site, such as a shopping cart or a blog.
