It can be confusing when getting a website, to understand what the costs are, and exactly what is involved. There are many factors to consider such as website hosting, domain names and email addresses and how these come together to form your website project. Furthermore what do you need in your website, what is the development process and what will it cost?
Lets look at the process. First you need a suitable domain name, such as the name of your company or business or even a name that reflects more the services or products you provide. Do you need a dot com or dot local domain name? For an international flavour, or if your target market is International then use a dot com. But for a local look and feel where your market lies within your own country, then a local domain name can be more appropriate. How much is a domain name? In NZ $39.95 will secure you the name for a year, and on websites such as Godaddy, the costs can be even less.
What about the website development or build itself - what does that cost? Websites can cost anything from nothing upwards, and your options here are huge. You could use an online provider of "do it yourself" websites for practicallly nothing, but you then you have the hassle of making the website yourself, and are constrained to their system. Or you can contact a web development company to build a website for you. Informational (brochureware) websites are generally cheaper then dynamic, or database-driven ones.
So, what are the other costs that you need to consider when getting a website? You must factor in costs for the following: Website hosting Email hosting Marketing and search engine optimisation Bets of luck.
