At some point every small business owner asks the same question: "How much does a website actually cost?" The answer is somewhat frustrating: it depends. 🙃
Here's what it depends on: who builds it, what's included, and how much of the work they handle for you. The range is wider than most people expect, and a lot of quotes leave out the things that matter most:
+ SEO copywriting
+ Search engine optimization
+ Brand styling
+ Ongoing website support
If your website doesn't have these, you end up with a site that looks okay but isn't set up to be found on Google and doesn't convert visitors into leads.
I broke it all down in a new post, including what a complete build should include and why the cheapest option isn't always the best deal.
