How much does a Web site cost?
While this seems like an easy question to answer, there are many factors to consider to give an honest quote. Site costs are determined by how many pages you will have, if there will be a shopping cart, if there are any online forms, plus other factors. You will also need web hosting and domain name registration. Contact us to get an accurate quote.
