This seems like a complex question but we've found a simple answer. That question: "How much does a website cost?"
The answer: $321 per month.
How much does a website cost? Between do it yourself vs. small agency vs. large agency the prices can vary. A one pager will cost less than a massive site. A function rich website (e-commerce, online applications, etc.) with be more expensive than just static pages of text. After the the site is built, there’s the hosting, support and maintenance. Going from the minimum (one page, DIY, no applications built-in) to the maximum (myriad of pages, lots of features built by a big agency) that can literally go from $0 to $500k or more.
Let’s break this down a little more: if you run a business, your business is not any business, it’s specific. Likewise, Web321 satisfies clients of a certain size: we know that the one-pager DIY sites are going to cost less than what we can carry out; and our model doesn’t serve something like an Amazon or an IMDB. We look to satisfy clients who have a small-to-medium sizes business: a storefront, professional services, small organization or small venture.
We stack up our values based on clients who, if they had to go to a regular agency may get a $5- to $10,000 web design followed up with the prospect of monthly hosting, maintenance and content updates.
To answer this question clearly: A website can cost $321 per month to design, host and maintain the website.
