Is it time for a website strategy that make sense?

Well all keep hearing about big business being done on the internet but so many small business websites attract no interest, never mind inquiries. Does yours?

Websites are a blend of communication, behaviour, creativity and technology. People give advice with little real-world experience in these skills. We are taking advice from people who do not know about our local culture. Are you beginning to get suspicious about the advice you are getting?


Are you ready to invest part of your marketing budget in a new website but need to hear answers that make sense?

How much should a website cost?

The most common question we hear is "how much should a website cost?"

Websites range is size, vary in features, quality and integration. Some are built for advertising, others attract search traffic. Building a website is a project employing skilled people. People charge differently around the world. Quality takes time. There is a lot to consider when assessing quotes.

Examples of budgets for different purposes :

What are the ongoing costs?

Websites have costs besides bare hosting and many digital freelancers don't accurately track and bill for these costs. Some use free low-quality components to avoid discussing the facts with clients. The truth is websites are complicated technology and need more than design skills.


Ongoing costs include licenses for professional software components, running monthly updates , upgrading the theme, added security, useful backups, reliable email delivery, maps, anti-spam and 24/7 alerts and speed adn traffic monitoring.


Businesses rarely have the expertise to administer a web-server which differs completely from an internal file server found in many organisations. While IT companies have the training, they rarely have the specific experience with domains, CDN, DNS, Linux, HTML, CSS and websites (ask you IT people about the acronyms). You need a specialised website support team.


Legacy generic 'cPanel' hosting is inadequate. Websites are left vulnerable to cyber attack and are terribly slow. WordPress and particular eCommerce need significant power to function without interruptions and slow sites are the primary cause of lost sales. It is vital to choose a level of hosting that can deliver the demand for your site.


All our premium hosting is built for purpose and fully managed. You always have our supervision and we work on your site monthly. You can stop worrying about hacking and risking customers' privacy. We will update and secure your site software. We pay for licenses and monitor it 24/7.


Run your business. Leave the hosting to us.
