| The direct costs of a World Wide Web
presence can be broken down into five areas: (please click on links
below for further
information) |
 |
|
| 1. Access to the Internet |
In order to get online, you'll need to sign
up with an Internet Service Provider (ISP) eg. Interprise,
MWeb, or Iafrica.com.
The ISP provides the actual connection
between your computer and the
Internet. If you already use
email, you already have an ISP

If you're like most home users and small business owners,
you'll connect via your telephone line. Large corporations tend to
build their own direct
lines to the 'Net, which, as you might expect,
can be costly. There are companies that
have a satellite connection
to the 'Net.
This is an ongoing expense. |

This includes the designing of the page layouts, creation of
custom
graphics, preparation of existing artwork (i.e. photographs, drawings,
graphics,
etc.) for use online, formatting of pages with the Hypertext
Markup Language (HTML),
programming, and registration with several
search engines. Your quote will be calculated
based on the
number of pages in your final website.

This is a once-off expense and the design fee is based on the
size
of the site and the client's budget. (Back to TOP) |

This refers to the computer (also called a server) where the
website lives.
If you'd rather not set up and maintain your own server (which is a
fulltime
job in itself), you can rent space on someone else's. Your ISP
(see some
website addresses above left to get some prices) is usually the best place
to
keep your website.
This is an ongoing expenditure. (Back to TOP) |

This refers to adding new pages to the site, or adding new
material
to existing pages.
This can be done on an as-needed basis, or for a monthly fee.
