How much does a website cost?

Website prices can vary greatly. Because of the huge number of variables and time differences involved in certain options or tasks or design briefs, it is almost impossible to pull a figure out of the air to place on this website. There are a range deals out there for website products that promise this or that - some are very good and some are very nasty – but generally you get what you pay for in one way or another.

We set our prices at the lowest possible rates for the highest possible service and aim to develop a relationship with our clients of trust and reliability from the onset. Our honest and fair quoting is the beginning of this relationship.

What we offer is access to honest advice and personalised service from an experienced Dunsborough based developer in Paul Andrews with support from a team of website professionals based in Australia and USA. You’ll get a great Joomla website at a great price, hosted on reliable and secure servers, with superb after sales service and technical support as well as the option of staff training, ongoing management and development.

When trying to put a price on a website development, the following list determines the overall cost to you.

Website Development costs are determined by the following:

• Cost of the software needed for your site
• Cost of hosting your website and purchasing or renewing your domain name
• The labour involved in developing your site including:
  • Graphic design
  • Programming
  • Initial configuration
  • Data Entry
• Cost of training
• Cost of ongoing maintenance or updating.

In our experience, the biggest portion of the cost of your site is labour. Good websites take time to design, develop and fine tune to your needs. We make every effort to keep overheads as low as possible and pass these savings onto our clients.

At Long Road Website Development, we custom quote every website project we do. Before any work is performed we will listen to your needs and wants and then research the best possible way to build your website with value for money our main always forefront in our considerations. We employ techniques and software that helps to minimise the costs and overheads at every step. If you don’t need it on your site – we won’t suggest it.

Once we have determined the best set up for your site, we will work on a firm quote. This quote will break down the costs associated with developing your website into an itemised list including the cost of software options, the cost of hosting, the cost of installation and set up; and the cost of data entry and graphic design. If you need an ongoing management arrangement, we will set this price at the same time.

To help you set a ball park figure, we find most of the work we do, falls into the $2000 to $5000 range.
