How much does a website cost?

The cost of a new website can vary widely depending on the scope of the project and the web designer you use.

At MarineView Media, our websites start at $1500 for a basic small business site. Depending on the additional functionality needed, and the number of pages desired, the cost of a website will be based on the time it will take to build the website, and the degree of technical expertise required.

E-commerce websites are quite technical, and are typically more expensive than a brochure style website. Get in touch with MVM to discuss your project and request a quote.

There are also ongoing costs of a website. You will need to purchase a domain name and continue paying for it year after year. Websites also require a hosting service. Lastly, additional functionality can come at a one-time or subscription style cost.

Is SEO worth it?
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) helps small businesses generate free leads. Search engines determine your search ranking based on hundreds of different factors, so optimizing for as many of those factors as possible can help your business outrank your competition. The higher you rank, the better chance you have of receiving new leads.

In just about every industry, competition for those highest search rankings is high, so a well-strategized, comprehensive SEO plan gives your business the best chance to compete.
