How Much Does a Website Cost in Oklahoma?

Assuming you or a friend have technical skills and some spare time, you can create a web site for your company for as little as $20. Professionally developed websites in Oklahoma start at about $1,000 but can reach into the tens to hundreds of thousands, depending on the complexity and amount of information your company needs to present.

When determining the cost of a website, you must also take into account recurring costs such as hosting, secure site services, and site updates which over time can amount to more than your original design and development costs.

"Do-It-Yourself" Website

Yes, it's true. You can create a web site for your company for free or as little as $20. As a matter of fact, there are many things you can create for your company at a minimal cost: business cards, brochures, logos, etc.

Unfortunately just because you can, doesn't mean you should. The main problem with these "do-it-yourself" solutions is that they often don't provide the same impression that professionally created items do.

If you need business cards for your son who is starting a lawn mowing service in your neighborhood, the tear away laser printed business cards available from most office supply stores will work just fine. But, if your company is providing products and services to Fortune 500 companies (or wants to), your investment in quality professionally created business cards is well worth it. You don't get a second chance to make a first impression.

The other problem with "do-it-yourself" materials is that they take time. In the case of a web site, you'll need to learn the language of the web, image editing, graphical design, etc. Do you have the time? Can your business wait while you learn?

Professionally Developed Website

A professional web design firm / designer in Oklahoma will take the time with you to determine your needs and desires and advise you on the use of appropriate Internet technologies. As part of this process, the firm / desginer should also be able to advise you against certain technologies or features that are inappropriate or not valuable to you.

Should you have online ordering? Should your product manuals be available online? Should you provide pricing information on your products? Is Flash or other types of multimedia applicable for the types of visitors you expect? Do you expect your website to rank top on search engines?

A good web design firm / designer will take care of the mundane and sometimes complicated details (like hosting, domain name selection/registration, search engine optimization) leaving you time to focus on your business. What is an appropriate domain name for your company? Will having more than one domain name increase the traffic to your site? Which search engines should you register with? How many keywords should you target and which ones are best?

For companies with a well defined brand or identity, the web design firm / designer will ensure that your web site carries on the theme you have created with your other marketing materials. In the case of companies without distinct branding, the web design firm / designer will assist you in creating one that is consistent with your company's guiding principles.
