Why have a web site?
Like anything that involves spending money, you should have a reason for doing it. Building a web site is no different. Although it seems obvious, a lot of businesses obtain a website simply because they assume that every business needs one. That's not a reason and it's not true. You need a purpose and some clear objectives. These objectives, generally speaking, can be described as any combination of the following:
- Create leads by encouraging new website visitors to phone or email you
- Facilitate leads from other marketing avenues by providing your website as an information brochure
- Generate new sales online through ecommerce
- Market your brand by creating an impressive online presence
- Engage current customers with relevant, customised website information
If you have a website already, ask yourself if your website achieves any of those objectives. If you don't have a website, we suggest you use these to work out what your website should achieve. And that's where we come in – to help you construct your objectives and turn these into a website that you love!
Pricing: What's a website worth?
We have a very open approach to pricing. If you're after some ballpark figures for a website, here's a quick guide:
Brochure and Product Catalogue style: $2,000 to $5,000
Content-heavy and Feature-rich: $4,000 to $10,000
Ecommerce and Feature-rich: $5,000 to $25,000
We have product-like fixed pricing for brochure-style websites. For content-heavy, feature-rich and ecommerce websites we put together a personalised proposal that takes into account your web strategy and business requirements.
Your Audience
Your target website audience should be aligned to your website objectives. If your focus is to generate ecommerce sales online then you need to know who your target customers are. Here at Datacentric, we are very user-focused when it comes to web design and development. We will help you define your website users and create an appropriate web design and website structure that helps you achieve your objectives with your target market.
Return on Investment (ROI)
Investing in a website is no different to investing in a TV advertising campaign or a new store location. You need to weigh up the investment you are making and then align your expected returns from the website with that investment. Your Datacentric Project Manager will ensure this ROI is a continuing theme throughout the web design and development process.
