Our Prices
We like to be both up-front and transparent. We believe you should know exactly how much you will pay if we build and host a website for you, and exactly what you can expect for your money. So here is our pricelist... (Valid as at April 2009 - subject to change every so often, as our costs change - we'll confirm the exact price when we speak to you!)
Don't worry if you don't understand everything on this page - we'll explain everything you need to know before you commit to buy!
Website Domains
For each domain that you want (and there is no limit to the number you can have) pointing to your website, the costs are as follows:
Purchase price per .co.uk or .org.uk domain - £10.50 for 2 years
Purchase price for .com domain - £15.50 for 1 year.
Purchase price for other domain types available on request.
Alternatively, if you already own your domain, you can point it to our servers. You will need to be able to amend your nameservers to the ones we use (we can normally help you do that) - there is then just a "parking" fee to pay of £3.00 per year.
Website Hosting
To host your site (assuming it fits our standard criteria in terms of size and bandwith, which is normally big enough for most community & small business sites that do not have large amounts of video or downloads on): £25.00 for 1 year.
If you prefer, you can host your site yourself, with your own hosting provider. If you choose to do this, we can only offer limited support, and it will be up to you to install the website once it is developed.
You can have a mailbox on our servers (which means you can access email from your domain through either webmail or a mail program such as Outlook) for £2.50 per email address per annum. This will have a mailbox size of 200MB. Alternatively we can forward your emails to another email address (such as hotmail or googlemail) for £1 per annum.
Set up of Joomla or Zen Cart software
We run almost all our sites using either Joomla or Zen Cart - this is open-source software (so it doesn't cost you anything) and because we know it well, it is cheap for us to support and maintain it. Our costs reflect the time involved in setting up your site...
Joomla Prices (for all websites except online shops)
Basic cost to install and configure the software, including the installation of a standard template £58.50
Cost to set up menus, and up to 5 different pages of content £25.00
Cost to install and configure components, modules, mambots, customised templates etc, £35.00 per hour.
We can also develop custom components for you at a cost of £35.00 per hour.
Zen Cart Prices (for online shops)
If you are looking to create an online shop, then we will install and configure Zen Cart for you. Prices are quoted based on the complexity of what you are looking for, but start at just £850.00.
An example
A .co.uk site (not an online shop) with up to 5 different pages of information, and 1 email address, including a "contact us" page, statistics through Google Statistics, and a page showing where you are located, using google maps, would cost from just £220.00 to set up and host in the first year. In future years, you would need to pay a further £29.00 per year for the hosting and email, and every other year an additional £10.50 for the domain name.
