    Hi guys,

    I have a domain name and web hosting (GoDaddy), but no further knowledge; however, I have ideas. How much would you estimate it would cost me to have my entire site designed and programmed....basically up and running? I know the price would vary based on what I want, but does anyone have a rough estimate or quote they could give me?

    Yeah sure... from $100 USD to $500,000 USD.
    You're kind of asking, "How much does a car cost?" You can get a car that doesn't work for $100 and a sleek Porsche for $500,000.

    You need to be specific. What kind of site? Corporate identity, Catalog, Online Store, Interactive Gaming, Promotion site, Forum, Blog, etc.
    Then you need to define the amount of content. Approximately 3 pages, or unlimited pages since content will continue to be created.
    How do you want to control your content? Do you need a content management system? Or are you never changing the content?

    If you want to discuss this further, PM (private message) me.
    cheers

    A static HTML Website wouldn't go for much, but then again as xira said, it depends on what you want.  You could get a cheap premade template and a developer who copies + pastes for you for about $50, or you could get a fully custom design for $2,000.  Hire a writer for about $25 - $75 per article depending on the quality, some SEO for $300 and you're set.

    Again, it all depends on what you need.

    As Xira says if you want to know specifics you would have to give us more details, I could do static sites cheap enough but when it comes to JS, PHP and MySQL work I charge more as it generally takes longer.

    CMS and Ecommerce sites usually get quoted, from others, about £1000+

    I want it to be a basic content/blog site with future plans to expand into a store as well. For now though, I just want a site that i can add content too and start getting traffic. I also think a forum would go nicely on there as well.

    Sounds like your plans are a little vague. I would start with installing wordpress and getting a designer and developer to make a theme for it. That would be the most economical starting point for you. It will provide the quickest and easiest way to add new content. If you are leaning more toward a forum instead of a blog though you could always do the same thing with phpbb. Both would be similar costs.

    Usually a design , hosting and a domain in a package will cost around $ 500 to $799 only. 
    Unless you have a special inquiry about web design or the hosting package maybe vps or dedicated server then price maybe higher.
    If a normal blog shop, i believe it cheap. But you need to learn how to upload the product photo and price for your future knowledge, because every changes of photo and promotion price time to time will cost you paid alot.

    Good Morning-

    I am seeking a Custom Graphic and Website Designer for a website that is about to launch. While we cannot offer compensation at this time, what we can offer you is a unique opportunity. We are hoping to link up with someone that is seeking a place to display their artistic abilities. All we ask is that you take our ideas, and lead and then you can pretty much run the show.

    This opportunity would be a great opportunity for a college student looking to begin/start/add-to a portfolio. Great resume builder, and the website will be notice by an extremely large sub-set of individuals.

    Reply to this thread if you are interested and we can set up a time to speak on the phone regarding this opportunity.

    Thank you for your time.

    you can install wordpress to start with and it's pretty easy to deal with. you don't have to get a designer or developer.
