It depends on how extensive the site will be and how much customization and revisions it requires. The lower the price of the website means fewer customization options will be available. A fairly thorough consultion will be required to determine an estimate. Custom website packages generally start at $1500. Even a simple 1 or 2 page custom website carries many more detail decisions than most people expect. You can't buy websites from Walmart!!

Please see answer above. The best way to understand the costs of website construction is to get several quotes. Some individuals will charge very low amounts because they are either willing to work for amounts that they don't require to run a business and support themselves or they are not telling you something. If you get a quote from a company with an office and employees you are looking at large costs to produce a custom website. Companies may try to lure you with a low cost template where they will just add your logo, tag line and your content and that's it. They will then offer further customizations at a premium price.

It's fairly easy to see the difference between professionally built websites and home-made ones. The software tools that we use to build websites make our job much easier but are useless in most peoples hands because untrained people will require many months to learn the tool. Plus in my experience you can't avoid having to troubleshoot programming code glitches.

It is not uncommon for the costs of the project to climb throughout the process as the client wishes to modify or add more features as the process is underway.

And most importantly is the relationship with your web designer / host. I acquire much business because of client disatisfaction with their previous web person or host. The reason I have found is that there are many website people that don't have the necessary client care, communication or project management skills to smoothly complete the work. They have business models based on selling a "product" of hosting and a template website and any client interaction is unwelcome in order to meet their income goals.

I have also seen clients that were disasstisfied because they had unreal expectations of what they were going to get and never had it throroughly explained to them or didn't want to know. Clients eventually understand that a website project is no different then building a custom home - but scaled down. It takes strong willingness from both parties to communicate effectively to end up with a quality product. The working relationship is key.
