Budget
Planning
You have to plan
a budget to build and operate your website. Some key points to consider:
1) even if you attempt
to build your own site, you will have to purchase software, and have
other expenses. More crucially you will have to budget the lengthy time
it takes to develop a level of competence in programming
2) if you outsource
the programming, you must still budget for internal costs (or time)
in preparing the material and instructing the developers
3) you can work
out some of the potential costs from the information on this website.
The design costs can vary considerably from a few hundred pounds for
a simple 10page site, to several thousand if you want a more complex
site with online shop etc
4) banks will not
lend money for these types of projects, as there is no tangible asset
they can put a charge on. Plan that you or other investors will have
to fund the development directly from your own resources
5) if you have a
budget, do not spend all of it on the first development. You will find
it difficult to predict the performance of your first web venture, so
leave some(at least 50%) reserves to modify your website in the light
of experience
