| Costing any website is a difficult job as it really
depends on what is required by the client. The costing can be split into three
different areas - all of which are necessary but this my give a better idea of
how prices are calculated........... |
| |
| STAGE 1 Domain Name and
Hosting: - A domain name is normally registered for a
two year period. The hosting, the server we put your website on, is renewable
annually. At whitstablepier.com we absorb both charges in one which results in
Stage 1 costing you £100 a year. |
| STAGE 2 Planning and Construction:
- The cost of the second stage depends upon the
complexity of the required website. As previously stated we believe in
constructing simple but effective sites without the flying gismos that others
seem to consider necessary. Not only does this provide a site that is easy on
the eye of the visitor, it also keeps the cost to an acceptable level. Our cost
for planning and construction is £12 per hour, and we estimate that we
would need between 12 and 20 hours depending on the size of the project.
Obviously this is only a guideline timing and the actual time can only really
be decided during the early planning stage. Unless it is intended to replace
the website with a new design annually the Stage 2 price is a one
off. |
| STAGE 3 Annual Maintenance:
- It is unlikely that some changes will not be needed
during the life of the website and to undertake these changes we charge
£10 per hour with a minimum charge of 2 hours. |
| |
If the website is going
to require a lot of annual maintenance / changes then it is possible to come to
a yearly 'all in' charge, which may prove more beneficial.
The
first step to getting your own website is to contact us and arrange an initial
planning meeting where we can discus your ideas and give you a better idea of
pricing. Please see our contacts page for more details. |
