What costs are involved?

Web hosting and domain names
These are normally set up through the same supplier and at present cost approximately £100 per year. The standard web hosting package normally suffices for the needs of most small business. This price includes a '.co.uk' and a '.com' version of the new site's domain name.

Website design and build
This obviously depends on what is required for each individual website but here are some general guidelines showing possible structures and applications to help you make your choice.

Basic website - 1 information page + contact form page - £150

Suitable for many small businesses e.g. plumbers, heating engineers, electricians, joiners, gardners, financial advisors.

Standard website - 5 pages - £250

This is a good size for most businesses giving plenty of scope for showing their products or services and additional information.

Standard Plus website - 6 pages - £290, £340 if availability page included. This is the Standard website with more capacity. This is for businesses who want or need that little bit extra on their website.
