In general the cost of building a website can be compared to that of building a house — with a wide variety and potential costs depending on the size and level of finish. For most businesses it is safe to say you will spend between $300 and $3,000 to create your site; plus an annual maintenance fee.
Since all the sites we build are custom by definition, that leaves a pretty broad range of what it will cost you — so we’ve created a number of standard options which may help you plan your budget. Of course we are always willing to put together a custom proposal, so please just ask.
