How Much?

Conclusion:
Combining the factors described in the previous sections will help determine the cost of having a web site for your business. Some of these costs, like hosting, will be recurring, while others, such as site development, are generally a one time cost. The important decision to be made is how much a site is worth to your business. Think of your web site as a service that you offer to current and potential customers, as well as a marketing tool. Understand why you want a site that accurately represents your business. Finally, as in all things, shop around. You'll find that the benefits of having a web presence far outweigh the costs of developing and hosting a site. Remember, if you want, you can probably have a web presence for free, but a free site is probably not nearly as good as a site that would cost just a little more.

While it is impossible to determine what your exact costs will be, we can provide an approximate amount a small business can expect to pay for a basic site. This amount is broken down below:
