Business Website FAQs

Welcome to the business website frequently asked questions.

These are a collection of Faqs relating to business websites in particular, that I've either received, or that I've had myself.

There is a more general website FAQ page for more technical website questions.

 If you have a question related to any aspect of website making, promotion etc then please use the Ask Webmaster form and I will do my best to answer as promptly as possible.

 

Business Website Costs

There are two unavoidable costs associated with a website .

  • Domain name (£2-£10 yearly typical)
  • Hosting Costs (£40-£100 yearly typical)

Both of these costs are recurring. You may also need to purchase software like a webpage/site editor and incur various Promotional and designer costs. However most self built websites cost less than £200 per year to maintain. See how not to start a website.

What Do You Require?

Minimum requirements are a Domain Name and Website host. See Small Business Website Domain Names and the Website Hosting Guide for more details.

Do I need to build it Myself?

No you can have it built by a web master/designer. However it is important to realise what they do and what needs to be don so that you don't get a site that doesn't work for you.

For this reason I have written a series of articles which you will find at  Websites for business owners .

I'm Not Very Technical Can I Still Do it?

For the not so technical business owners I recommend SBI (site build-it). It is a hosting, optimization, submission and building package all in one. It requires that you have basic text editing skills and the ability to cut and paste between windows.

Take a look at the SBI video and see for yourself
