Frequently Asked Questions: (FAQ's) How much is a website going to cost? There
are three aspects regarding the expense of a website... For an estimate on the actual dollar amount, check out the fees page or call for a free consultation! Can I reduce the cost of my website? If the full expense of a website cannot be justified, there are several methods to make your website more cost effective... Save on Website Design: An easy way to decrease the amount of time it takes to design the initial website is to provide Spider Website Design with the content through email or computer disk. The time it takes to type the information is the largest expense in building a website. This is an easy part of creating a website, just time-consuming, so the more content you can provide will cut the price of your website design. You can also save design time by taking your own digital pictures. If the website will be updated often, you can avoid more expense by performing the updates yourself. Spider Website Design can teach you how to maintain your website and make simple changes to suit your needs. Save on Website Hosting: If the annual expense of hosting your website is cost prohibitive, you have the option of locating a free web hosting provider. There are several providers that will host your website for free, but this usually requires that you allow pop-up or banner advertising on your site, which could be a detriment to the quality of your website. Instead of charging for web hosting, these free providers sell advertising to pay for the costs of operating the server computers. Another downfall of free hosting is that the capabilities are very limited. A simple, basic website is usually all that can be hosted for free. Advanced level programming is not available and will not function on their server computers. Free hosting is great for personal websites but Spider Website Design does not recommend free hosting for a profession business website. Save on Domain Registration: You can reduce the cost of registering your domain name several ways. Discounts are available for longer-term registrations; the longer the registration, the bigger the discount. This will reduce the average cost, but not the initial cost. You can also find several places on the internet that will register your domain for little cost. However, please understand that you must handle all of the registration and addressing required to set the domain properly. You will also be responsible for submitting your new domain name to web servers & search engines if you choose to purchase the domain yourself through a cheaper registrar. What exactly is the free consultation? In order to accurately evaluate your potential for increased revenue from a website, Spider Website Design offers a free consultation either in person or over the phone. You are under no obligation to purchase any website services. This is strictly a question and answer session to give us an idea of what your business is about and to give you an idea of what a website could do for your business.
