| How difficult is to build a website? Not so many years ago building a website was considered best left to specialised companies, as it was too difficult for the average computer user, but today just about anyone can build a professional website very easily as there as lots of easy to use tools on the market, and recently lots of website hosting companies now provide there own website building tools which require very little or no programming or website building skills. How much does it cost to build a decent professional website? If you get company to build a website for you the cost could be anything from around £1000 to millions depending on what you require, then on top of this you will have charges for updates or anything else you need added. Building a website yourself will cost a fraction of this, and if your just starting up or have a small existing business with a small turnover then I'm sure you will be counting the pennies, a decent small business web hosting package with domain name web space email backend databases will cost you around £80-100 per year and usually this will include software to create your site as well such as Wordpress (Wordpress is a blogging software thats very flexible, you can create blogs that look like websites or forums very easily) another excellent site is Site Build it (everything is stored on-line with site build it they take you through an intensive easy to follow course before you build your website with them) Of course building a website is not for everyone, but if you decide to DIY the one thing to remember is no one knows your products or company as well as yourself, and very often you can tell a website that has been build by a design company as opposed to one created by someone who really believes in there products as it shows in the content. As we mentioned above the two small business web hosting companies I recommend are Bluehost.com they cost around £80 a year for a full package, this includes. Domain name web space email back end database. Scripted Wordpress installations (only takes around 10 mins to create one).
