How much will my site cost??
I would like to build a site consisting of the main page and a contact us page.. I also need the users to log in like when you enter a forum for the first time.. Simple free registration.. When they log in they will be able to download a file i wil have uploaded.. So if we say that it will be a simple main page ( i mean simple in design ).. How much will a site like this cost?? Could you point me to the direction of a company that offers low cost solutions..?? Thanks in advance |

Jaysus guys, it's like tramps fighting for chips! For professionals you really aren't hearing her question- I hope you don't do the same with your clients. To me it sounds like the design won't be the costly thing; just to get some kind of database up and running will be the main price factor (and you will need one if you require logins). You would also need to consider details like if the data entered by the registrants would be automatically stored, or if you will filter through them personally (all depends on how big your target base is). If you want it fully automated and running with minimal human input, it will cost you. If you want a basic package where you would organise what php/asp would normally do, then it would cost a lot less. It sounds obvious, but that's the main issue imo. |

let me start by saying i am not a low cost provider, and there is a reason for that... because i'm a professional web designer. i don't do "custom web design packages". for some smaller projects i charge hourly ($80), and for larger whole projects i charge flat fees. something like this would probably run in the $4500-15000 range. why you ask? because i produce valid xhtml and write semantic code with a complete seperation of content from presentation. i'd also set-up a new mysql database and write code for the forum with a "simple free registration". i'd do everything from making sure i've chosen the correct datatypes to laying out the page with just the right balance of white space, colors and type and try to do some user testing on your target market, and set-up the page with the right information architecture so that your customers can achieve their goals once they reach the page....i'd give it a strong visual design that promoted and enhanced your brand...etc... in case you haven't noticed there is quite a lot that goes into building webites these days and people who cut corners by using templates and not paying attention to the details are not doing our industry any favors... start by reading alistapart and boxesandarrows, and then go from there. |

tbh if you write everything from ground up then yeah, I can understand why it would be a costly figure- however if you Joops it or some other OS ready-made forum software and throw out the gubbins you don't need then the cost is already down, even if the possibility of it going wrong is higher. Either way, it certainly doesn't sound like a £8k job, unless you're designing for the olympics or something... |

Different strokes for different folks. Value is in the eye of the beholder I guess. The consensus is that the quote is expensive but if that is what longisland gets for his skills then thats what he gets. It reminds me of a story I once heard regarding a premium cruise ship that had a clunky pipe. The ship company spent tens of thousands of dollars and weeks of time trying to get this pipe to stop clunking. eventually they called in the World leader in clunking pipes on ships. He came, He listened, he listened some more. Eventually he takes out a small hammer and bangs the pipe firmly. The clunking stopped and he presented the ship company with a bill for $200k. When the company director saw the invoice he refused to pay unless this fee was itemised. The specialist took a piece of notepaper and on it wrote: Hitting pipe with hammer $1 Knowing where to hit $199'999 TOTAL £200'000 I think this is a similar issue faced by many a web designer. |
