How much does it cost to create a

website?

Most new informational websites cost approximately $1050 for a custom website that we maintain. The av- erage new WordPress site costs about $1695. An in- formational website (and mobile website) is a website that has the basic information that you find on every website; home page, about us, contact us, our ser- vices, and one additional page. These pages contain normal information and link to your business’ social media pages. The type of sites that cost about $1050 (or about $1695 for WordPress) don’t sell items online and don’t have portfolios, special questionnaires, blogs, etc. Each of those items add cost to your site. Many businesses think of additional items to add to their website once we get started on the design, but don’t forget these items add to the cost of your website.
