What are the costs involved in setting up a website?

The cost of having a website set up can be split into three areas:

• Website design and development
• Hosting
• Domain name

Website Design and Development

Getting the website designed and developed will be the largest cost you will incur during the process of having a website set up. This is a one-off cost that varies depending on the size and complexity of your website, and the number of features you want to have – the smaller and simpler the website design; the lower the cost.

A well-designed website can start small and be expanded easily in the future when required, and this would be our recommended course of action if you have a tight budget or are unsure as to how large and complex your website really needs to be.

Glide Technologies Limited has a team of website designers that can review your requirements, provide you with an estimated website design cost, and advise you on the best path to follow for a website design to meet your needs. Visit our Website Design page for more details, or contact us to arrange a meeting.

Our staff will work with you to design and develop a high-quality website that will suit your requirements and budget. Please contact us for more details or request a website design quote online.

Hosting

Once the website has been designed and developed, it must be hosted on a server so that the public can view it through the Internet on their web-browser. Hosting costs will vary  depending on the functionality required and the hosting provider, but Glide Technologies Limited can set up hosting for your website at a low annual fee. This hosting package includes e-mail accounts, parked domains, database facilities, statistics and enough features to suit a small – medium sized website. Larger, more complex websites can also be hosted at an increased cost if required – please visit our Website Hosting page for more information or contact us.

Domain Name

The domain name is the address of your website – this is what users will type into their browser in order to view your website. Domain names are unique and must be renewed annually. Glide Technologies Limited can register your required domain name (if available) starting at 20 GBP per year (depending on the type of domain name needed). Visit our Domain Name Registration page for more details.
