Web Site Costs Depend on . . .

1. what you want your site to accomplish. If you want a simple promotional site, your costs will be less. If you want to offer credit card purchases on a number of items, you costs will be appreciably higher. The same goes for additional Internet services like multiple e-mail accounts, and audio and visual capacities.
2. what features you want to include on the site. Your development costs will be directly proportional to the availability of existing material, such as logos and electronic versions of text. If much of this is readily available your costs will be minimal.
