<\/span><\/p>\n The complexity of the site and the specific features and functionality you want to include are significant factors that can affect the overall cost of your website.<\/span><\/p>\n A simple website with just a few pages and basic features, such as a contact form, will typically cost less to build than a more complex site with multiple pages, multiple layers of navigation, and advanced features, such as:<\/span><\/p>\n The more complex and feature-rich your website is, the more it will cost to build.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n A simple 5-page website will cost anywhere between R1500 – R5000.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Larger, more complex websites can cost anywhere between R5000 to over R30,000.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Now that you know how much pricing can vary, let’s look at a breakdown of the costs associated with building a website. Starting with your domain registration.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n One of the first things you’ll need to do is register a domain name.<\/span><\/p>\n This is the address that people will type into their web browser to access your site, such as “yourbusinessname.com”.<\/span><\/p>\n You’ll need to choose a domain registrar to register a domain name. These are companies that manage the reservation of domain names.<\/span><\/p>\n Some popular domain registrars include: <\/span><\/p>\n Here in South Africa, the most popular registrars are Frikkadel and Domains.co.za.<\/span><\/p>\n Each registrar will have its own pricing for domain name registration, so you’ll need to compare the costs and choose the one that works best for your budget.<\/span><\/p>\n The cost of registering a domain name varies depending on factors such as:<\/span><\/p>\n Many registrars offer discounts for longer registration periods, so it can be more cost-effective to register your domain name for multiple years.<\/span><\/p>\n Once you’ve chosen a domain registrar and registered your domain name, you’ll need to set up hosting for your website.<\/span><\/p>\n This is where your website’s files and data will be stored, and it allows people to access your site from the internet. The cost of hosting can also vary depending on the type of hosting plan you choose, and the features and resources included. <\/span><\/p>\n Some hosting plans include a free domain name registration, so check with your hosting provider to see if this is an option.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n
