WHAT ARE THE COSTS OF HAVING A WEBSITE?

As a web designer, I prefer my client to be awared of ALL costs of having a website. So before taking the plunge, you should fully realise that having a website involves more than just spending a few weeks and a few hundred dollars hiring a website designer to design one savy website for you. Oh no, the spending goes on if you want the website to properly serves its purposes.

So here is an outline of approximately how much money you could be spending on a website and how much B-Link can save you.

    • Initial build cost – search around and you'll realise that it will cost at least $300 to get a decent 5 pages website designed. And we’re talking about the lowest charging rate of web design.

      B-Link fully set up and design a professional and scalable website for you for FREE - starting with 5 basic pages. Each month you can request an upgrade such as adding ONE more page to your website.

    • Initial set up cost – AT LEAST another $150 to get a domain name and hosting to get your website up and running.

      B-Link will takes care of all this for you at NO COST. We will host your website plus giving you a short, unique subdomain name of your choice.

    • Ongoing support & update – if you don't have the time or expertise, could you be paying at least $20 per hour to employ a website coordinator to maintain your website? Could you try to learn to do it yourself and end up wasting more time and money for your business?

      We'll take care of your website from top to bottom, inside and out. Whether it's changing a number, adding a paragraph or adding a brand new page, we will do it for you upon your request using our Request Update & Request Additional Page forms. Furthermore, if you're experiencing technical issues with your website, use our online Technical Report form and we'll fix it asap.

      And of course, we'll do all that for FREE.

    • Marketing cost - “What marketing cost?”, you might ask. Well what’s the point of having a website when nobody knows about it? Online marketing and promotions could cost you up to $500 per month. ONE common marketing method is Google AdWord.

      One client told us: “Last month I paid up to $300 for Google AdWord and I was only on the 2nd page!”

      Google is effective but not cheap as quite a few number of businesses compete for the front page spotlight. Are you willing to pay $300 per month? If not, join us today for a much cheaper solution.

Here’s an interesting comment from “Intergage”, a large website design company discussing the cost of having a website.

“You Want To Reduce Website Costs
Owning a website can cost a fortune. A medium sized business in the UK typically spends around £3,000-£5,000 on a website every 2 years. The website is a source of pride and joy for only a few months before it slowly starts to become out of date. The business evolves, changes it's product range or focus, updates it's marketing collateral and over time the website becomes less a source of pride and more a source of pain and even embarrassment. When the company can bear it no longer, it repeats the exercise!
How about Search Engine services? Not much good having a website without traffic is it? Add more costs to the increasing list of bills and suddenly the whole thing can be getting seriously out of hand. Now add hosting charges and pay a Web Designer for ad-hoc changes a couple of times a month (average cost £75 per hour). What is this unsatisfactory service really costing? “

Overall, there's too much to worry about! You've got costs left and right to own a website. But at B-LINK, we’ll simplify it. You pay $50 and we’ll do everything! NO INITIAL COST. In fact, for the first 1 month, you’ll pay nothing.

Therefore, in your website we allow you to convey those 3 messages in 4 pages with unlimited text and graphics. The 5th page is a contact form where a customer can conviently submit questions or queries that go straight to your email inbox.

We use a series of forms to collect information from you for the website. The overall process will take you from 1/2hr - 1hr to complete. You won't have to worry about editing your photos, WE'LL DO IT FOR YOU!
