Don’t let big companies fool you into thinking a website costs $5,000. If you know what you’re doing, you can have one for under $100. You just need three things to make a website.
- Domain Name & Domain Privacy ($): Most domain names are about $12 per year. If you already have a domain name, then that’s great! I can walk you through configuring the DNS or you can pass me the reins and leave it to me. Domain privacy is sometimes included for free or is a paid addon (also like $12 per year). This protects your privacy and I always recommend it.
- Web Host ($): If you don’t have web hosting, you can host with me. I totally understand working on a small budget and can help you choose web hosting that’s right for you, even if that’s not with me. Many of my clients take advantage of a cheap promotional offer with a bigger company for their first term and then switch to me before it expires when their promotional price more than doubles for the second term.
- Web Design & Development ($ – $$$): this might be as simple as using a free template in a CMS and customizing it for your business or it can be complicated and expensive to pay for completely custom design and source code. This is usually where that $5,000 goes. I’m happy to set things up for you to take control or you can be totally hands off or we can do it somewhere in the middle. I charge a dynamic hourly rate and I am totally flexible on how we want to go about this because I often partner up with local designers and design companies that will do the design work and then outsource the development to me. If you love someone else’s design or you’re a designer yourself, I can bring it to life!
How does domain privacy protect me? When you buy a domain name, your registration information is added to “the big list” of websites. So anyone can go to a service like WHOIS and look up your information. Domain privacy is the service in which your private information is not revealed in this list and is instead replaced by the registrar’s info.
