How much does it cost to develop a web site?
The web applications and web sites we develop are not done in isolation. They are a result of working with you to understand you, your business, its challenges and objectives and the constraints of the budget you have available. We take time to understand your business and get to know you. This enables us to work in collaboration with you to find the best solution to suit your requirements and your business constraints.
Sometimes, this will be an off-the-shelf solution that simply requires some reconfiguration and additions to suit your needs and give you a web site that stands out from the other sites that use the same application. If this is the case, the cost will be minimal because it won't take us a lot of time and the project risks are lower.
Other sites will need bespoke development of a solution from scratch. While we work hard to keep the costs of such a project to the minimum, the budget for a bespoke build will be higher than for an off-the-shelf solution, in general.
So, the cost of developing your web site is a factor of your business challenges, objectives and constraints tied in against the proposed solution, the time it will take to build and the risks involved in the project.
Once we have spent time with you getting to know your business and your expectations, we will be able to produce a written proposal for you, detailing what we will do, roughly how long it will take and how much we expect it will cost you to do. We can then work with you to revise that proposal and agree the solution we will adopt and agree the terms of the project. At this point, we will produce a contract that sets out the various obligations, costs and the terms on which we will work together.
