Website cost questions
Can I get a business website for under $2,000?+
Possibly, but the scope may require a template led build, fewer pages and client prepared content. WBYD will explain the tradeoffs rather than hide them.
Why do agencies quote more than $10,000?+
Larger agencies may include broader strategy, specialist teams, extensive research, custom creative work and greater project management overhead.
What ongoing costs should I expect?+
Typical costs can include domain registration, hosting, premium licences, maintenance, email services and future content or development.
