What are the costs for building and maintaining my website?
The design and build cost will be dependent upon how much content you have, prices start from around $750 for a small 4-5 page business website, including a contact form and a Google directions map, if required.
There are two other costs to keep your website going on the internet:
There are two other costs to keep your website going on the internet:
- HOSTING: Hosting is the 'rental' cost for space on the internet to have your website showing live to people. You will pay a small monthly hosting fee to directly to the website host that is connected to the website management system. You will be able to cancel this at any time and your website will no longer be live on the internet. Because the website is built using an integral content management system, you won't be able to move your website to a new host.
- DOMAIN NAME: A domain name is your website address and this needs annual renewal and is paid directly to the company that the domain name is purchased on. We can help set up your domain name to make life easier for you :) If you already have your own domain name purchased, we will be able to use this.
Can I make changes to my website?
Definitely! We use a nice drag and drop editing system and you will be able to log in to 24/7 and make changes to your website, like updating text content, changing images and creating links. You'll be given full instruction on how to do all of this. Plus we'll be here if you ever need an extra hand.
Does it cost extra if I need help or changes made to my website in the future?
This completely depends upon the help or changes required. Little questions about how to do something via email are completely free. However if a year down the track and you need a refresher to edit your site or you would like me to update your site or add a new page, there will be a small hourly based charge for this.
Do I get an email address with my website?
There are no emails included with your website build. However it is likely you can purchase an email account from the place you purchased your domain name from for a small annual fee.
Do you build online shops?
No. I focus on small informational websites for people and organisations. There are many local web agencies that specialise in e-commerce.
What is Search Engine Optimisation or SEO? And do you provide SEO on my website?
SEO is the process of making your website visible to the search engines and have it show up on Search Engine results pages for the various keywords that relate to your business. Keywords are those strings of words that people type into a search engine to find things.
