How much does it cost?
Our typical website programming engagement starts at $12,500 for basic web programming solutions. The sky is the limit from moderate to complex website programming functionality. It might be helpful to think in terms of a building a custom home. For example, vinyl flooring is less expensive than Italian marble. In most instances, a mansion is more expensive than a manufactured home. And so forth. And so forth. Your final cost is (and should be) completed related to the time and energy necessary to build your website design and website functionality.

Why does it cost so much?
When designing a website or creating the functionality of a custom web-based application, there are numerous short cuts available to the website designer or web programmer. Some of these short cuts are to your advantage as the client and some are not.

The short answer is.... website programming cost is directly related to your requirements. In addition, there is a significant amount of business logic that you may not have considered or just assume "it will do that". Sometimes up to 30% of our website programming code is how a website should respond automatically if a website visitor that not doing what they "should" on your website. We of course would love to earn your business, but not at the cost of lowering our quality.

Is your website idea possible?
Yes, whatever website functionality you have in mind can be replicated, modified or created. However, as common in most website projects ....... a budget does exist. A suggestion that might help overcome budgetary constraints is to prioritize your requirements. Separate your wants versus wishes. Break your project up into multiple phases with increasing levels of functionality and sophistication in each phase.

Do you own the software code?
