FAQ – How do you determine the cost of a new website?
Determining the cost of a new website involves several factors that depend on the specific needs and goals of each project. Here’s how we break down the pricing for a new website:
- Scope and Complexity: The first thing we look at is the scope of the project. This includes how many pages you need, the level of customisation required, and any special features like e-commerce capabilities, membership systems, or advanced interactivity. More complex websites take more planning, design, and development time, which can bump up the overall cost.
- Design Requirements: Custom designs usually cost more than using pre-made templates. If your website needs unique graphics, custom user interface design, or specific branding elements, we’ll factor this into the cost. The extent of the design work can vary a lot, from basic styling to intricate, bespoke designs.
- Content Development: The creation of content, such as text, images, and videos, also impacts the cost. If you need us to generate content or hire professional photographers or videographers, there will be additional charges.
- Functionality and Integration: Additional features like an online store, booking systems, or integration with external APIs (like social media, CRM systems, etc.) require more development work and testing, which raises the cost.
- Platform and Technology: The choice of technology, whether it’s a simple content management system like WordPress or a more complex custom-built solution, affects the cost. More sophisticated technologies or custom solutions tailored to specific business needs usually require a higher investment.
- Maintenance and Support: Ongoing maintenance, security updates, and customer support are often included in the cost. We offer different levels of maintenance packages based on what you need.
By considering these factors, we provide a detailed quote that reflects the expected work and resources required. Our aim is to deliver a website that meets your business objectives and budget, ensuring you get both transparency and value throughout the development process.
