website costs / pay monthly?
« on: April 12, 2013, 06:53:07 pm »
hi guys could you let me know what i should expect to pay around for a 5 page site that had a payment page , just one or 2 email addresses and a good host?

most of what ive checked look very basic templatey looking and still want 300quid.
even the pay monthly ones look basic or end up being 40-50 quid a month.

yes theres stuff like moonfruit but that and others like it - i dont think portatays a very professional image.

any ideas best places to and what deals are about - not keen on 1on1 coz of some reviews and also all these template things never cater for carpet cleaning or window cleaning particularly well.
???

Hosting shouldn't cost much at all - a few quid a month should get you a great package. I do hosting myself & will be doing a special offer for window cleaners in the next couple of days.  ;)

Add a decent template (About £45 off www.templatemonster.com) some decent & original photo's & the basic essential SEO bits & you can do a DIY site on a very tight budget.

If you want a site built for you, I'd normally charge £375 for a 5 or 6 page site with paypal, e-mails, responsive phone friendly design, etc etc.

Here's one i'm just finishing for my daughters school: http://gaelscoildehide.com/

And a couple of recent window cleaning ones:

mines  always been about 7 quid give or take a few pennies .  iv just looked,its actually 8.25 im paying ,not a bad increase in 3 yrs, that's the standard package . you must have the "premium" package with all the extra features at 18 quid.  still small change in this day and age  you wont put a single ad in a local paper for that sort of  money

I believe its 3 or 4 quid for just a single page website .

you must have upgraded to the premium package. maybe you've gotta blog ?   heres a tip if you do ring up vistaprint,dont ring on your mobile because if you do you will pay top dollar ,I found this out ,you are actually ringing a number in Barbados! where the call centre is
 
only use a landline to phone and then you get charged local rate only.

Email studio@discoverysquare.co.uk . Phil is brilliant. Got my spc site built from scratch, no template, for about £300.00 then I pay £30p/m for hosting, all changes, new pics, fresh pages, SEO, everything. Great value. Its not a massive company so each site gets their individual attention and becomes their baby. You won't be disappointed.  ;D
