Cheap and

Affordable Web Design

Is there really such a thing as Affordable Web Design? Well the short answer is... Yes and No! Yes if you do it yourself and No if you hire someone to do it all for you.

The cheapest I've seen a website designer actually design a website for is $100 for a basic 5 page website with a graphic or two. $250 is the average I've seen for a basic 5 page website with a few images and links, which included no monthly or regular maintenance.

But what do you want? Do you want a basic website, a flashy looking website or a feature filled website? Well the answer really depends on what you need the website for... if you just simply need to impart information with a few links and a few pictures, all you need is a basic website. If you are selling graphic, or fashion based products a flashy website may be precisely what you need. But if you need a feature filled website with referral form, ezine sign up, picture gallery, a forum and things like that you could spend a lot for that... or do you?

...surely in days gone by that was the case but these days what works for people looking for Affordable Web Design is to get a basic Do-It-Yourself website where you use a website point and click builder to build the website then simply use add-on services (or plug-ins as they are more widely known as) to add the extra functionality needed. There are lots of websites that offer these plug-ins at a reasonable cost and even lots more that offer such plug-ins for FREE. The FREE ones are usually ad supported, some ads more intrusive than others... but the bottom-line is you can pretty much get a website to do almost anything you desire these days using add-ons.

Yes, you are usually limited by a selection of 10 - 100 preset designs to choose from, but that's a small price to play for the ease of use and setup time saved, plus quick and almost effortless maintenance it all affords you.

If you have 30-40 hours in a 30 day period you can have an ideal website with all the bells and whistles you desire for the cheapest cost possible! I've seen the core product for as little as $10 per month, now that's what I call Affordable Web Design.
