The cost of
designing a website varies depending on the website functionality and the
number of pages you require on the website. However, there are some basic costs
that remain the same for all websites. If you have a business you wish to have
a website designed you will require to two important things for a functional
website:
- Web Hosting
- Domain Name
Web Hosting
Web hosting is
the server space you pay for your website to reside on that server. It is a
cost that can be renewed monthly, quarterly or annually depending with the
company that is selling you hosting. The hosting space can also be described
according to the capacity or the quality since it is quantifiable disk space
that you hire for your site to run on it.
The hosting
companies provide different types of packages but you should consider a number
of factors when buying hosting. Hosting of your website may determine if your
website will be loading slowly or will be fast since the space and the
environment of the server are important considerations.
The price of hosting can be as low as KSH 500 per month for a
starter and as high as Ksh 2000 – 3000. It depends with your provider. If you
are in doubt about this; GET in touch
with me for advice.
Domains
Domain name is
the name of your business that you will buy from a domain seller. Domain names
are classified according to the extension. This also determines the cost of the
domain since the extensions like .co.ke are more expensive than the extension
.com, .info, .biz, .net , .me , .tv , .org.
All these
extensions depict the kind of a website you would like to create. A .com is
good for commercial while .org is ideal for nonprofit organizations.
Domains can be
purchased easily on Godaddy the range of price is as low as $1 - $12 for a start for one domain. I have also
see domains that are sold for thousands of dollars. It all depends with the
value of business that a certain name can bring, for example see the following
domain and the price it has attracted:
Website design cost Kenya
After considering
these prices of domain and hosting, you are now going to be charged a web
design fee for your website to be design, deployed and maintained. If you are
looking for a cheap web design service in Kenya, you can get some as low as 3 k
but you will get shoddy work done, delayed deadlines and poor services. For a
good professional service you can get it from 10k. This can be either inclusive
or non inclusive of the domain and hosting prices.
Note: Domains and
Hosting costs are renewed annually for most web design companies in Kenya.
