There is no single reliable price for every project. Use the factors below to turn your requirements into comparable written quotes.
The scope behind the price
Keep a site updated, secure and useful after its launch. Start with the work you need completed, who supplies content or access, and who will maintain the result.
- Software updates and backups
- Monitoring and small content changes
- Recovery process and support response
How providers charge
- Usually a monthly or annual agreement.
- Hosting, premium licences and new feature work may be excluded.
- Ask for response times, backup checks and a practical exit process.
Why quotes vary
Check whether hosting, licences and development hours are included in the monthly fee. The following details should be stated explicitly in the brief and each proposal:
- Platform and hosting setup
- Support hours and response commitment
- Security, integrations and change requests
