I am starting a new business and am looking into a simple website, could you provide me with a rough costing for the following:

• 8-10 page website with a contact form and content management
• How much extra would it be if I wanted to sell my products online?
• What is the initial cost and then are there any annual fees after this?

Thanks for giving us the chance to help you with your new business and you will be glad to know that, we know what you are going through and as such can give you some good advice. There are lots of things to consider and discuss but very briefly to answer your questions below:

8-10 page website with a contact form and content management

We have 4 flavours of ‘business website‘ that you probably need and they range from free (for charities) – £5999 (for bespoke Ecommerce sites) and a minimum of £999 allows you to have 8 pages. More pages / more content, the higher cost.

How much extra would it be if I wanted to sell my products online?

This is where we need to chat about what you have in mind as we can allow you to sell online with the standard business sites but it depends on what your selling and how much control you want overstock as you may need a full eCommerce (website shop) solution. Our typical ecommerce sites choose either our gold or platinum packages.

What is the initial cost and then are there any annual fees after this?

We need to chat about where you want to go and what you want to sell etc before giving a final cost but the site could be £999 – £5999 and that includes everything you need and will want including support from us and advice on how to get your business established on the internet. The cost will include any associated ‘hosting’ fees we have for the whole first year 2nd year hosting fees are between £30-£40. At the end of year 1, we recommend that you sit down with us and review your website’s presence. We would then give advice about how to increase the visibility of the site and give you options.

Delivering Delicious Websites Affordably

We know you have a choice who builds your site, beware of the lower quotes for new sites! These are a pretty likely to cost you more in the long-term due to extra maintenance and updates. The ability to build a professional standard website that’s designed and coded to W3C standards and is visually professional, and of course created using Google Webmaster guidelines ensuring that it’s search engine compliant, is very time consuming taking a good deal of experience and effort. It’s more common to find websites being built quickly and cheaply by taking advantage of you by using non-w3c standard code and not search engine friendly code that you simply will not see unless you look deep into the site. This is done simply to get to your money fast! Even some great looking sites are often coded without a thought for search engines. So, if you are offered a low, cheap and too good to be true quotation then please remember that as in any purchases, you normally get just what you pay for, have a look at our testimonials to see how delighted our other clients are about the work we completed for them.
