So, what's the catch with a small business website?

Even though the digital world comes at a much lower cost for your small business marketing, there is still a cost.  And even though the internet seems to run like a well oiled machine, technical problems are still a dime a dozen. Often, as a website is such an integral part of a businesses digital marketing strategy and it takes technical gurus to create one, they can be an expensive part of your plan.   They can often go down due to technical problems so need constant management. 

The nitty gritty of a small business website

The average cost of a small business website is between $2000-$9000 for website design and up to $1200 annually for maintenance. There is of course a lot more that goes into it apart from the design and maintenance, like SEO, plug ins, integrations etc. This all depends on your needs and requirements. It can also be a very complex technical process, you need a domain name, cyber security and of course, the website has to look great to attract customers.
