More and more, websites are becoming an integral part of any successful business' marketing plan. In the majority of cases, the site is not necessarily the primary source of sales, but instead its a key supplement to other marketing strategies. Such as the www link located in a newspaper or magazine ad. Or included in a flyer, poster or mailer. Or on your business card or in your telephone directory listing. Potential customers get inticed with these other marketing methods, but then can pursue the details of your offering in the comfort of their home, on their own time schedule. The website also works terrifically in conjunction with telephone sales, since you can walk the person thru a presentation simply by having them go to your website during the conversation.

For website creation cost, as a very rough estimate, you can figure about $50/page. This is probably at a minimum, could be higher depending on complexity of design and how many custom graphics and special effects you need. It also depends on how many pages the initial design concept is spread over. Monthly maintenance can be as little as $15/mo to $1000/mo depending on how much promotion and day to day updating you will be doing. Give me a call at 530.346.9968 and by discussing what your needs are I can be in a better position to give you a ball park estimate.

Other website costs:

Domain Name:
First you will need to buy a domain name. Bluehost gives you one free domain name with your hosting account. Then you can buy additional names for only $8 or $9 per year. So you can do it all right there at Bluehost. Also, they have a box where you can enter various domain names and find out if they are available.

Webhosting:
Next you will need to get a webhost. This is where all your website files will be uploaded to and made available to the world. I have been using a company called Bluehost. They are easy to use, have an excellent admin panel, 24/7 tech service, provide tons of bandwidth and storage space, lots of emails, mySQL database and numerous other goodies all for $6.95/month, paid two years at a time. I have been using them on many clients for the last 5 years or so, and I can't even remember them being down once.

For information about Search Engine placement, I have created a page here. This is a complex, everchanging area that takes some expertise. However, there are many things I can do to enhance your placement. One commonly used method is bidding for placement as on google and yahoo/overture. I would be glad to talk with you about this.
