Web Site Cost Overview

Some have ideas they had on the backburner for some time while others are falling the prey of “slap up a site, sell anything, make bushels of money” hype.

How Much Should a Web Site Cost?

Whatever it takes to compete in your market! The most you can afford to have a fighting chance to be taken seriously and for site visitors to have confidence in doing business with you!!

“I Can’t Spend ‘Hundreds’!”

I hear this several times each week when asking potential new clients about their budget. If they fill out my site inquiry form more times than not the budget noted is $200-300.00.
