WebWerqs ~ Design on a budget

What is 'Web Presence'?
A web presence can be as small as a simple e-mail address or a little larger presence like an E-Business Card or a small web site consisting of a few pages, to a major web site with many pages that can contain an on-line catalog, shopping cart capabilities, secure servers that enable the safe transaction of credit card transactions, data bases and archives.

Why should I have an online presence?
If you want your company to have greater exposure to a global market (but lack the funds for national or international media advertisement) an expertly designed web site can, for a mere fraction of the cost of other media exposure, showcase your company, its products or services in a concise and up-to-date fashion.

If you have information or a product line that can change at a moments notice, then a web site can reflect that change in a far quicker time frame than other advertising media.

If your business relies on a customer base other than local clients, then an Internet presence can be targeted to that specific clientele on a global scale and with an added advantage of being presented in multiple languages. Web sites can start on a small scale and can grow in size and complexity as your company demands.

How much will it cost?
Like anything else, the bigger your site is the more it will cost. Only you can be the judge as to where to draw the line when it comes to the final cost of the project. With the aid of a good designer you can have a functional site that loads quickly and will look good on almost any browser or operating system out there.

An e-mail address can be obtained for a nominal fee of around $5.00 per month but if you buy space on a server to host your page, e-mail address' (usually 3 or more) come with the package. Prices can range greatly in price, from as little as $100.00 for a simple page up to thousands of dollars for a site with all the bells and whistles. Of course the more bells and whistles you have the longer it takes to create the site and that will be reflected in the end cost.

Registering your Domain Name (www. yourcompany.com), hosting costs, site maintenance, all are costs to be considered when planing out a budget for a web site.
