The Cost

The cost of having a web site built varies a great deal, depending on your budget, the size of your site, if you want to sell products/services, advertising, and other considerations. There are 3 main costs associated with having a web site of your own available for the world to see.

• The first cost is to register your domain name.
  
• Next, we have the cost of web hosting, or storing your graphics and web site files on large computers that are on 24/7 and hooked into the internet. ($15.00+Per Month)
  
• Finally, the cost for the building/design of your site including layout and graphics design, and data entry. In other words, all the labor that is associated with getting your site up and running.

The Site Design price can vary greatly depending on your needs such as:

• How much information is on your site
• How many custom graphics need to be designed
• Do you need us to scan in information
• Are you content ready(copyright images, text... etc.)
