How Much Does
a Website Cost?
The cost of a website varies and depends on what you need. A
simple static website usually starts somewhere about
$500 - $1,000, whereas a dynamic website typically starts at
$1,500. Since a website is a customized product for you,
the cost will vary depend on what your needs are.

 What Are the
Steps Involved
in Getting a Website?
There are three things you need in order to get your
business on the web.
 First,
you need a "domain name." A domain name is something
like yourbusiness.com. A domain name is registered at and
managed by a third-party company called a "registrar." There
are dozens of registrars out there today, but
GoDaddy.com
seems to have the best prices at the moment.
 Once
you have registered a domain name, you need a web hosting
company. A web host makes your
website available over the Internet 24/7. Here's where you
upload all of your web pages and images to. Then, when
someone goes to www.yourbusiness.com, they see your
website.
 The
last thing you need is a website. There are basically
two types of websites: static and dynamic. A
static website is nothing more than an online brochure. If
the information you want to put on your site doesn't change
that often, then a static site may be just what you need.
On the other hand, if you have
information that changes frequently, you need to maintain
the website yourself, or you need ecommerce (shopping)
capabilities, you'll probably need a dynamic website. A
dynamic site uses a database and some kind of user interface
to manage the public website.
Lucky for you... we do it all! |

Executive Chef

"I had contacted
quite a few companies in my search for website services with most
responses being "see our FAQ" or simply emailing back instructions
on where to send the check! I contacted Guacamole Press and it was
certainly a pleasant surprise to actually receive a call, and then
to have the person, Markus, actually listen to my needs and answer
questions. That attention made it a very easy decision, and I wasn't
disappointed. When it came time for a redesign of the website I
contacted Markus leaving the entire concept and layout in his hands.
I must say a wise choice on my part, and an exceptional job by
Markus on my website. Every once in awhile I make really good
decisions, Markus and Guacamole Press was certainly one of the
better ones!"
