website development costs
Discussion
Hi there,
Another quick and simple question for the web developers.
How much would a site similar to www.spooneurope.com cost to build.
Many Thanks.

Both of these are "static" sites with no dynamic content. Going rate will be between £150 and £600 depending on how much bother you are, whether or not you provide all the images and logos as ready to use files etc etc.
The site should take a competent web developer around a day to do. If you want to talk to him about what you want at length it might take two - and double the cost.
Hosting should cost less than £30 a year.
HTH
(BTW: Don't ask my lot do it. We do "web-based" systems with databases and lots of extra technical goodness - and charge a sight more than that!)

We have been working on our new web site (partly professionally and partly in-house) flat out for 11 months. It's due to launch in a couple of weeks. I'm dreading calculating the cost 
So what did you go for that made its production so long? Innovative technology that needed to be tested and adjusted, or an inexperienced development partner?

Hi Bodo,
I think it's a combination of the technology and the laborious process of identifying, describing and cataloging nealy 15,000 products and making them interact in the way we need them to. I must admit I am amazed at the time taken it has taken but I have seen the process first hand - 8 hours a day, 6 days a week since February 2006

Oooh, that's quite a lot of work - especially, when everything has to be catalogued by hand. See it that way: once the database is complete it only needs to be maintained, and the return of your investment is starting as soon as you begin to utilise it. 
That was the idea - I hope you are right
We built this site www.toda-europe.com about 18 months ago. The site design and construction was fairly cheap, but the funtionality and database work was very expensive (still a long way from paying for itself yet).
yep quite a bit of work for the second one. If you supplied all the data and images on disc or via email I guess £400 all in, if you wanted a proper ecommerce solution instead of the effort on there add another £200 - £400 www.geminidigital.co.uk

My first website took over a year to get up together partially due to developing the content and layout I liked and partially buy trying to do it on the cheap and use a friend of a friend who could not always do what I wanted. I have now just completed my new site that was developed over a month but the content is basically the same just updated with a new layout. I now have an admin area where I can edit all the content add pages and pictures like a word document so I don't have to rely on other people to do the updates. This has been the biggest bug bear up to now with my web site ownership as I want my updates completed when I want not at the leisure of the guy doing it for me!! I spent over £700 on the new site but I don't have to pay anyone for updates ever I can also add new pages and menus as required.
My site can be seen at www.neilgarner.co.uk
