Pricing to Fit Your Budget and Still Meet Your Website Needs

We take your business seriously. That includes both your available budget and the needs of your website. Designing a website with bells and whistles doesn't need to cost an arm and a leg.

According to the Netmarketing Web Price Index (www.netb2b.com), the median price for a small business web site is $44,500 and the lowest cost in a college town is $1,700. They also quote the Minimum monthly cost for hosting and maintenance (i.e. making changes) at $400 per month. Obviously, costs this high are enough to deter many small business owners from going online.

If you contract with a larger web design firm like the ones surveyed for the web price index, they will assign a graphic designer, a copy editor, a website designer and hopefully a search engine optimization consultant to your project. If you can afford that size of a project team, they will probably do a good job. But, if you have a smaller budget, you need to make sure that the person you hire to design your site knows about all of important functions listed above - not just one or two of them. At Walden Websites we make an on-going study of all of these important areas to give your web site the most bang for your buck.

The typical price for the sites we build is about $800 to $5,000 depending on the complexity and number of pages you need. Most small business sites cost around $1,000 to $2,000. This is less than many businesses pay for a few months of Yellow Pages advertising, which can only change once a year. Reduce the size of your Yellow Page Ad and SAVE more than the cost of your web site every year!
