How much does website design and development cost?

Each website is different therefore the price is according to what the website needs. Any website is going to have an initial cost. It all depends on how much information you want to have. The more information you add into your site the more you will get out of it.

Your organisation, be it large or small, has at one time invested in advertising. Placing advertisements in national publications or local newspapers can be very expensive. While magazine ads can run as high as AU$3,000.00 each, they simply do not give you the return you would expect nor contain enough important information to catch the readers interest. Newspaper advertising averages in the hundreds, and after some time this adds up. That is why most small to medium companies just cannot afford this type of expense for so little gain or exposure.

  What are the main benefits of a website?

A company website packed with information about your business, services, or products can reach more clients than ever before. Without additional expense in mailings, it can also boost your advertising budget. Online advertisement can make you save a lot of money.

After the initial fee of set up and web design, it is only a matter of small maintenance costs such as monthly or annually internet access and updates. Far less the consistent cost with print advertising.
