What is a reasonable price for a web team to design a website for my business?

How many pages are they creating? Is there java or other programing being used? Will you have an online shopping cart?

Depending on what you are trying to get out of your website, I could do it for less. Also ask them if this includes SEO.

Hi

My name is Roger from Montreal

First, I would advise that you get a copy of the easy to read book "Don't make Me Think" It will definitely will be an excellent investment for your website and second like Daniel Pink mentions in his book "The Whole New Brain" which I'm currently reading, that a lot of the code writing process is being outsourced overseas, so you can then check up the website rentacoder.com to get your website done and maintained for a very small amount of money and the coders really do an excellent job. I used to work for a small Montreal ISP and we outsourced the whole construction of our new web site to them for something like $250. Initially our website had been done for something like $4900 by local programmers. You can outsourced the whole coding to any one programmer or some parts to programmer A and another to programmer B, etc.

It is the new reality, the new rules of the new economy and like Daniel Pink mentions in his book, in the coming years, in North-America and most everywhere else in Europe and Japan the primer will be put on the right brain thinkers that can come up with creative solutions.

Anyway I thought this might help you.

Building a web site sounds easy - and it can be.

You want to remember that you will have it for a long time as it will start to grow.

Make sure you control it completely - that if they go down the tubes - your site (and hard work and investment) doesn't follow.

Cheapest isn't always the best way to go. Can they expand to meet your need 2, 3, 5, 12 years from now?? Will they lose interest in their business if all they make is ~$1000 from you annually.

I'd check further into what other options are 'out there'.

As I write this, one comes to mind - if you send me an email, I'll send you a link that you can look over.

Keep Smiling!

some of these people who have answered have no clue what they are talking about. The real question is: what do you get for your $79.00? It should be alot in terms of advertising and continued support and search engine optimization. All in all it seams high, but again: what are you getting?

try

www.samwilson3d.com

a small company that does alot of work for a very little $$ they did a great job on my friend's site and he gets alot of traffic.

Have a nice ride (Trip)

Hosting is $350/year (not $79/mth)

The website is easy but some do charge $300-$500 (you can do it yourself in about 4 hours)

If changes need to be done througout the year (numbers, addresses, item descriptions etc) do you pay each time or is this free

now a days there are so many developments center in this world that design your site in resonable price but they are copy the matter from here and there and generates the site with in 3-4 days but that site contains the lots of matter due to that your site become very slow during accesing time so to be desine by expert coder that do this and no one you can get there whose provide you free trails for 30 days

I am assuming that you are doing an EBROCHURE, as in just info on the web ABOUT your comapny. IF you are a small biz, and dont want to do the design yourself, just pay for the DESIGN work seperately, and buy from the biggest guy out there www.1and1.com, for $6/month.

Any designer can work with a HOSTING company like 1and1.com

And if by chance you think its JUST a lil information you want to do yourself, 1and1 has easy tools to do that - ATLEAST to get you started so that you don't have to pay ANYONE to start.

Let me just tell you that we paid 3 people to make our web site. Before we got it the way we wanted it and finaly someone that worked for us did it . You dont want to spend more than about 300.00 dollars unless you are wanting some big thing that needs to be kept up monthly. www.streamlinemedicalbilling.com is ours so if you need something like that then dont spend more than 300.00-400.00 max good luck

the 30 day trial sounds good,79.00 per month ,not bad either.maybe u should get a professional advice,sorry

Uh...that's a joke Sir/Madam. Websites are a one time cost, not monthly. Real web developers don't have "trials"...they make a you a site.

(So is the reply that says "email me for a link"...what a scam.)
