I see on other sites that I need a budget of thousands of dollars to just get my web site built. How much is too much to pay for a simple website and what can I expect to pay with Axiom?

This is why we got into business in the first place. We had friends and business associates that needed a relatively simple web site that looked good, but they were finding that companies that offer to build websites expect that you have a minimum budget of $5,000 if not $10,000. Websites should not cost that much unless you are a large corporation planning on having millions of customers on your site at one time.

To give a ballpark estimate, most of our clients have a web hosting package through our partner (Host Gator) that costs them under $5 a month. This includes the web site and email addresses associated with that web site. They require that you pay for at least a year’s worth of hosting, but the more you buy, the cheaper it gets. Most clients pay for at least 3 years worth upfront and pay less than $200 and then they don’t worry about it for 3 years. In addition to web hosting there is domain registration which runs between $10 and $15 per year. But these are the only ongoing charges.

The one time fees for web design depend on the design elements. For a content management website we estimate $1000. The majority of our clients can get what they need with a $1000 website. This includes web site design, content management setup, custom web pages and training on how to update your site. If your require additional add-ons (i.e. a storefront, client login areas, etc.) then these are priced individually.

We also offer monthly maintenance to our clients. In case you would prefer not to have to update your own site, we can do it for you.
