HOW MUCH WILL MY
SQUARESPACE WEBSITE
COST?
So how much should a website cost?
Luckily for you, we live in a time where websites have become extremely accessible and easy to obtain for the average user. With the evolution of the internet and the more readily available no-code tools such as Squarespace, WordPress, Wix, among many others, the process of creating a website has become faster and more efficient.
In the past, obtaining a website used to be a long-winded process that could take upwards of 6+ months. Factors like getting all the content, hiring someone to write the copy, organizing a branding expert to help devise a logo and branding, and finally getting a developer to spend months and 1000+ lines of old-school HTML, CSS, and JavaScript just to get your site looking somewhat respectable and usable.
However, with the advent of user-friendly platforms like Squarespace, creating a website has become much more streamlined and accessible. But how do you determine how much to spend on a website? While the process of creating a website has increased dramatically, developers now focus their time on other important aspects, such as branding, copywriting, SEO, page speed optimization, and mobile responsiveness – all vital elements to help your website rank higher on search engines like Google.
The key factors we use to help price a project come down to how many pages you are looking for, whether you need branding and logo help, do you need content created, will you need a simple website with a blog or are you going to need additional functionality included. Do you have a tight deadline you need to meet, do you need to optimize your site for all screen sizes and formats, does your site need to be optimized for speed or SEO? These are the kinds of questions that we tend to ask our clients in the beginning stages of a new project.
When you spend more for a project, the developer can spend more time optimizing your site for better visibility. This optimization is a crucial aspect of ensuring your website ranks higher on search engines and attracts a larger audience. The more you can invest in your site at this point, the exponential results you will achieve further down the line.
The best way to find out how to budget for a site is to speak to a professional who can help identify your key pain points and help devise a budget that addresses the key areas to help you achieve your website goals. Even if you had a budget in mind and the initial quote exceeds your ideal budget, speak to them. We are happy to help address any concerns you may have and if you have managed to find actual developers and designers who truly care for you and your project, like we do, they will do everything to help you achieve your project goals. Whether that means devising some alternative cost-reducing solutions that help you get most of the same outcome or help strategize a solution that budgets only the important aspects of your jobs to get you the best results.
So, in conclusion...
Investing more in your website project allows the developer to allocate more time and resources to optimize your site for better visibility. This optimization is a crucial aspect of ensuring your website ranks higher on search engines and attracts a larger audience. When developers can dedicate extra effort to implement search engine optimization (SEO) techniques, your site becomes more discoverable, resulting in increased organic traffic and potential customers. The importance of investing in these areas cannot be overstated, as it lays the foundation for exponential growth and success in the future. The initial investment in your website will pay off in the long run, as it sets the stage for better visibility, improved user experience, and ultimately, higher returns on your investment.
