Why Have a Website?

The face of commerce has already changed to be heavily dependant on the internet through electronic commerce. Some say that if you don't have a website now you will be out of business in 5 years! It is not enough to have a website that just gives people your contact information. You need to design your website to work for you so that it makes life easier for you. It must DO some of the things that take your time and be efficient at them. Our design team gets to know your business and designs your site to meet both your needs and the needs of your customer. We can provide "shopping carts" and safe electronic transaction facilities.

New Web sites

We offer a complete service from initial consultation through a completely project managed system from design, authoring, programming and publication, and maintenance, to ensure you get what we agreed to. We offer extremely low rates and an easy pay as you go scheme, where the cost of your website is divided into 12 and paid off with your monthly hosting fee over the first year.

Make Overs

We can completely redesign your site at very reasonable rates! Have you had you web site a while now? Has it ever changed. People get bored with the same old same old. A face lift will often bring in new customers. Makeovers can also be needed when you want your site optimised for search engines and for your customers ease of access.

What will it cost?

Pricing WEBSITE PRICE INQUIRY

Website development costs can vary tremendously and you may have no idea of what to expect when you make an enquiry. It is unrealistic to expect to pay a few hundred dollars for a fully optimised, professional website. Clearly this is unreasonable. Good web design and Search Engine Optimisation takes a lot of time and experience. While we keep our site design prices as low as possible, the charges must be realistic.

If you just want a cheap website and you are not too concerned about quality then we are not for you. Try your neighbour's son. Similarly, if you are aiming at a major web design agency, require complex graphic design and programming and you want to pay a large sum of money for your website, we are are probably not for you either.

What we do is produce cost effective, functional websites for small and medium enterprises using valid methods and techniques. We also offer website advice, consultancy and a personal service throughout.

Typical Examples

1. Single Page Business Card Type Web Site

Most businesses now recognise that they need a web address. But some businesses are not ready for a full website or they have no real content to place there. In this situation I can create a single page website, with some information about what you do and your full contact details, including an email link.
Single Page website price from $200.

(Note that the cost of a website is not proportionate to the number of pages required. A single page website still requires graphic design and developing the "look" or the graphics for a single page takes as long as it does for 100 pages).

2. Four or Five Web Pages in an Online Brochure Format

A basic website with five-eight pages such as home page, about us, products, contact details, enquiry form, etc, where you can provide the required content. We can include a suitable masthead in this and source a couple of images for you. Search engine optimisation would be extra.
Five to Eight Page Website price will be from $2000 - $3000

3. Approximately Ten Web Pages on a Small or Medium Business Web Site

This would be as in (2) with a few more pages illustrating products and services and perhaps including portfolio or testimonial details. If required it would also include an online enquiry form asking the questions you specify to help generate business. Keyword Research and Search Engine Optimisation would be included.
Ten Page website price will be from $3000 - $4000.

4. Basic Ecommerce Website with Approximately Ten Pages

Perhaps you require a site like the above but you also need to sell a single item or small number of items online using Pay pal or a similar payment processing service? Or perhaps you need to take variable payments online for services you provide?
Basic E-commerce (no shopping cart) website price will be from $2000 - $4000.

5. Full Ecommerce Website with Admin Area

We can design a full E-commerce site with shopping cart setup to to take online credit card payments. This can include a user friendly website administration area that will allow you to input your own stock, change prices, etc. The admin area is accessible online via a user ID and password.
Shopping Cart and E-commerce website price will be from $5000 - $10,000.

6. Content Managed Websites (CMS)

If required we can make your website user up dateable with a website content management system (CMS). If you want to update your own website we can install a system that makes it easy for you to to make your own website updates and change your website content on a daily basis if necessary.
Full Web Site Content Management System from $2000.

7. Web Site Updates and Modifications

Lots of people don't want a content management system and if you are one of these we can make changes to your website upon request. Most straight forward alterations taking less than 1 hour are done for no charge.
More time consuming alterations and additions are charged at $85/hr.

Factors that Affect Web Site Design Prices

There are a few other factors that will affect the price of your website.

Copy typing: I am not a typist and having to transcribe large tracts of text from paper documents takes time. You should always try to provide your copy in electronic format. The actual format is not particularly important as long as it is saved in a file. Even basic emailed text is fine. The formatting would have to be changed for the web anyway.
Changing your mind: If a significant amount of work has gone into part of your website development and you subsequently change your mind about this it will still have to be paid for. This makes it important that you carefully define your website before work commences. Be sure that you know what you want.
Scanning in graphics: If you don't have digital images available and I have to scan all your images from brochures this all takes time.
Graphic design work: Graphic design is probably the single most time consuming part of developing a website. If your site requires lots of original graphic design work expect to have to pay a little extra for this. If you are prepared to use a pre-designed purchased template then this cost will be drastically reduced.

This is to give you some idea of our website design prices. It is difficult to be too specific as each client's requirements are different. Website design prices can vary tremendously. The examples listed above give a good idea off our design prices.
