May 1, 2019Step 3: Choosing a web host
Website hosting cost can range from $5 to $50 per month for standard websites, and much more if you’re hosting large or complex sites or web applications.
The ideal price and package will depend on the type of site you want, how many daily visitors you have, your storage requirements, and various other factors. Your design agency will usually help you in selecting the right hosting service for your website.
Step 4: Choosing a template or custom development
If you don’t have much experience in web development, you might want to leave this step to your agency.
A website based on a simple template with a few pages will not cost much. In fact, many popular CMSs are free to install, though there is usually a set-up cost.
The more you want to customise your site, the more your designer, developer or agency will charge you. The cost can range anywhere between $500 and $10,000 +. An interactive web app or advanced features like database integration is likely to require an even larger budget.
In the web design industry, there are a host of different options and technologies available, many of which do the same thing and solve the same kind of problems. It all comes down to your specific requirements as to which is the most appropriate. Your web development agency should find the best solution that balances your requirements and budget.
