Business & Requirements Analysis
“How much does it cost to build a website?”
This is a question that we get asked often and the answer is “well, it depends.” When describing cost estimating for website design, we often refer to the “house building” paradigm.
Building a House
Before a contractor can estimate the cost to build a house, they need a plan. This plan comes in the form a blueprint and list of materials needed. There are many things that influence the building cost such as: ground preparation, the number of rooms, the materials chosen, electrical and plumbing requirements, permits and licenses, and even things as mundane as the type of roof selected. The more complex the design, the larger the square footage, and the more exotic the finishing materials, the more the house will cost to build. Such is the case with website design. How simple or complex do you want or need your website to be?
A website’s cost is directly driven by the complexity of the website and the time required to craft it. A four-page ‘information only’ website will cost significantly less that a fifty-page eCommerce website that integrates with a customer service management system or lead management system. The question then becomes, “what does my website need to do in order to satisfy my business objectives?”
