There is no one true cost to build a website. If anyone tries to tell you that, they’re probably not offering the right solution you need. The cost of building a website varies between what you’re looking to get and how much functionality you want it to have.  It depends on what you are looking to get out of your website, and what you are willing to spend to fulfill those needs? Are you in need a fresh new design and or new layout? Do you need custom programming, a custom blog, a store with a shopping cart, a secure way to accept credit card payments? If you’re a company, large or small, you may need all of these and more!

If you only have a few thousand to spend for the year for online marketing, be prepared to discuss the range you really want to spend. If you have no worries on what you have to spend, say so. Before you meet a design firm, you should have some idea of the goals you want to see your company accomplish. If not, outline your expectations, needs, and any other questions you may have, and contact us today to set up a time to talk about pricing. Always remember to walk into a meeting with ideas or dollar figures and make sure your designers know how much you want to spend. This could be declaring how much your marketing allowance is, or how sure you are of commissioning a website. We are people too, and we don’t want to dash your hopes.

Statistics on the web state that an average small business should spend around 10% of overall sales on marketing but that would vary based on if you are a startup or have been business for a while. It’s imperative that you put the necessary investment behind your company to give it the boost it needs to stay in the race. The more revenue your company makes, the more you will have to invest back into your online presence.

High profile agencies can charge a few hundred thousand dollars or more to create one. Templates and freelancers can make you something for a few hundred, and there exist companies in their middle range that offer full-service. That includes things like a logo, website, blog, SEO, Social Media, and more. If you have experience interacting with your customers in real life, a blog or social media site might help reinforce that bond.

At Integrated Webworks, we work with our clients and prospects in order to give them the strongest appearance on the web. This could involve a complete rebranding campaign, social media marketing, or just simply building a new website. We work with clients in their price range and are always willing to accommodate their thoughts and ideas.
