Cost of your site
There are five major costs to budget for when planning
your web site project.
- domain name registration
$100 (approx)
- design and development
- hosting
- promotion
- maintenance
DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATION

for a "www.yourbusiness.com.au" name for two years.
DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT
We provide you with a fixed quote at the beginning
of the project with the cost of any variations requested by you
clearly nominated.
WEB SITE HOSTING
Website hosting
packages will cost about $150 per
year depending on the size of your site and the technologies required
to deliver your site.
PROMOTION
Search engine placement
may be vital to your business. If so you should budget to ensure
the major search engines and indexes such as Google and Yahoo
know how to find you.
When your website goes online, remember that it
may take a couple of months to be indexed by some of the search
engines. Depending on the nature of your business, it may be necessary
to budget for promotion in traditional media.
MAINTENANCE
To be effective as a business tool, a web site
needs to be well maintained. Your site must not contain outdated
information. Internet users will not tolerate this! The best way
to manage your site for maximum benefit is to put a maintenance
plan in place. Your options are:
- Update the site yourself with specialised software
and training.
- We build a content management system for you.
- We perform any changes based on an agreed hourly
rate.
