Most Asked Marketing Questions
No. 9:

Q: How much does a good website cost?
A:Like many marketing questions the answer depends on what you are hoping to achieve from your website. It also depends on what resources you have at your disposal, how organised you are and whether or not you are able to write your own copy, what functions you are wanting from the database and whether you already have branding. Websites start from around $1000 but an average website for small business is about $2500- $5000. It is important not to pay for things that you are clearly not going to use but cheapest can be expensive later on so some forward planning is required when determining your needs. Naturally the more wizzo functions you want, the more it will cost. However it is important to think of your website as an investment. It can save you money in marketing material, save you time and bring you business. So if you are thinking about upgrading or getting a new website contact Ailsa to help assist you with your requirements.
