The truth is website cost varies greatly, as do results. That is why I want to break down for you how to be successful with a site that you’ve invested any amount of money into.
Before I dive in deeper though, I need to say this loud and clear: Incorporating your website into your daily business activity is crucial to getting the return you desire from your website, no matter how much you spend. Without this, you’re wasting your money and your time.
Also, our metric for measuring success is simple: using your site to earn back your investment and make you money. Here’s a quick summary of how much you invest, and how to earn back and compound your investment at each level.
To make things easier, here’s a quick visual summary (see bigger version)
$0, or a One Time Payment
At this level, you’re basically completely responsible for your website’s results. Sure, your developer will initially build it for you but won’t continue to work with you to generate results unless you arrange recurring payment and the developer is dependable.
$10-$98/Month
At this website cost level, you’re likely using a “build it yourself” website and have full control over everything. This removes the need of depending on a developer but puts the burden on your shoulders.
$99-$399/Month
At this website cost level, you’re onboarding a web developer to support you. You’re still responsible for pounding the pavement for the most part, but at least you’re not making all the changes yourself.
$400-$1000/Month
At this level not only are you incorporating a developer to support your site, but you’re getting some marketing services to create more sales opportunities!
$1000/Month+
At this website cost level, you’re investing money where you can see massive results: a complete plan on getting huge results from your website powered by marketing efforts and work done on the front end to clarify your message.
Which Website Cost is right for you?
Which cost is right is quite simply the one that you can afford. Start where you’re planted, and invest only what you can for now. You can always build yourself up to the higher investment tiers.
This information will get you on your way to making wiser decisions on what sort of site to build, who should build it, and how to grow your business using your site.
