7.  How long will it take to create my web site?

Once your project has commenced, the time to complete most informational business web sites ranges between 4-8 weeks depending on size and complexity.  Larger websites, sites with extensive e-commerce and/or database features often require more time.

 

8.  How much will my web site cost?

The cost of developing a web site depends on many factors including the number of web pages, graphic design characteristics, page content, completeness of the materials you provide, and the extent to which advanced features are required.  As a basic reference, a full-featured "brochure-style" web site is typically priced between $2,000 - $5,000.


In addition to one-time web design/development, there may be related costs for search engine marketing, web hosting, and ongoing support & maintenance, depending on your needs and features.
