If you are planning on putting product information on your web site, in most cases your costs will be higher as you will need more pages in your web site and probably more graphics. Small business web sites usually comprise no more than 8 5o 10 pages. You pay for no more and no less than the work performed on your web site. Web sites that have a lot of graphics in them as well as product descriptions take more time to build. Also, remember that the domain name registration and web site hosting fees are not included in this figure.
Maintenance costs depend upon the frequency of information that needs to be updated.
Most cruisers on the Internet don't like to see outdated information. It's bad for business. If your site is strictly for business consulting , it's advisable to update it at least once every three months. Search engines tend to drop web sites that show no activity after several months. If your site offers products over the Internet, some businesses may need their web site information updated daily or weekly.
