First of all, let's talk about how much all of this would cost you if you purchased everything separately. If you had to find the right person or company who have the best products, provide excellent website design and have helpful customer service, what would your invoice look like at the end? Would you faint? If you don't believe the prices I am using below, please take the time and go do the research for everything yourself. You will be a believer after you finish! Having a website is pretty much like having an old Yellow Pages ad. It will let everyone know that you have a business, what you offer, times you are open and how to get in touch with you. Let's break down some normal costs for you:
