Some Basic Facts about getting a Low Cost website
|
With most "budget" website designers, you wont get much for under $1000
The fact is, designing a good website is going to take time, and labour is the most expensive cost component. No matter how a website is packaged, at the end of the day, a reputable designer will want at least $100 per hour to work on your project.
At $100 per hour, a $1000 website would only work out to be 10 hours worth of work. Simply speaking, there is just no way a quality job can be conducted. See the following table:

Template Designs look great but there are "traps" and "pitfalls".
Template designs is the only viable way to get a website for a low cost. These templates are designed once and downloaded many times around the world, which is why you can get it at such a low cost. The best part of template designs is that you can see what you're going to get before you buy it.
The problem is:
You need to be aware that when you download a template from a template website, that you STILL NEED to be able to work the complex software programs to customise it yourself. Without any technical knowledge this can take days or weeks. Some people never get it done and simply waste the download fee.
You don't have any website management software and adding on performance tracking like Google Analytics can be difficult.
This is where Rocket Websites can really make a difference for you:
The templates are customised to your needs, and you simply do not need to know anything technical. No more FTP, HTTP, Javascript, Flash, Actionscript.
AND you get the benefits of the low cost, and you can see what your going to get before you buy it.

Fit your website to your business or fit your business to the website?
This is a question you'll have to ask yourself. Picking a template design means you're going to fit your business into a design instead of fitting the website to your business.
This isn't necessarily a bad thing, everyone's needs and situations are different BUT:
If you definitely need a high quality website that you design to suit your business, then you'll have to bite the bullet and look to spend between $2000 to $5000 to use the professionals. Click here to read more on our website packages.
Otherwise, go with a Template Design, and we definitely recommend Rocket Websites.
