How much does a website cost?

Take our NEW WEBSITE Questionnaire
This will help us get a clear idea of what you require for your new website. Your answers will help establish concise information for the site which we can then discuss with you further.
By answering these questions in detail we can get a clear picture of what is needed for the design, build and structure of your website.

When venturing into the online world, this is one of the most commonly asked questions, and a very difficult one to answer unless the client provides a full description of the website needs.
The major components to consider for your new website are listed below, these can all be organised and managed by bitBrain Solutions for you.

• Domain name
• Hosting
• Website design

1. Domain Names

This is the first step you must take to launch your brand into the world wide web! Similar to a home or business address, your domain name allows people to find you online, you can register different domain name types including .com, .net, .org and many others are also now available but some of the common examples include

• YourWebsiteName.com (.com domains are considered as International domains)
• YourWebsiteName.com.au (.com.au are Australian domains)
• YourWebsiteName.org (.org domains are considered as Non-commercial organisation domains)
• YourWebsiteName.nz (.nz domains are New Zealand domains)

2. Website Hosting

This is a service provided by a hosting company. When you choose a plan, the hosting company provides you with a user name and password via email which we can then install your website on their server thus allowing your customers to view and interact with your business on the web.
There are several categories of web hosting to suit the particular needs of different websites and it is important to evaluate which website hosting is right for your website as some hosting providers could have more down time than others, use outdated hardware making them slower, could compromise security and could potentially charge extra fees to rectify their mistakes.

Good news: bitBrain Solutions can assist you in all aspects of getting your brand online from registering your domain name, website & email hosting plans and website development.

Website Design

There are a large number of factors which will determine the cost of website design such as complexity of the design, the content, number of pages, whether a contact form is required, whether you need a logo designed, a shopping cart, payment arrangements etc.
Take into account that you are paying for the web developer’s time so the more complex the design considered, the more it will cost.
