I Don't Want to Pay £30 a Month For a Website

So, you've just started your business, and you need a website, right? The question is, how do you go about it? Well, you could create your own for next to nothing on sites like Wix or GoDaddy, but do you have the time or expertise to do it? Plus, websites like these can look totally generic and don't offer much in the way of features. 

Another option would be to pay £30 a month for a highly-trained web developer to not only help you design and host your website. Wait, what? £30 a month for a website? I don't want to take on this kind of website cost, do I? It's something we hear an awful lot (to begin with) until we explain exactly what kind of value £30 per month represents. 

To put things into perspective, let's take a moment to look at what £30 buys you in the modern world, in life and in business. 

What Does £30 Get You In Everyday Life?

When comparing the cost of a £30 website to everyday expenses, you start to get a feel of what kind of value we're talking about. For starters, your Friday night family takeaway can easily cost more than £30, as can a round of drinks at your favourite pub or club. Let's be honest, £30 doesn't get you an awful lot these days. 

What else will it get you? ⅓ of a tank of fuel? ½ a cable TV subscription? How about ¼ of your weekly grocery shop? You may have also noticed everything's getting quite expensive, so when comparing the costs of a fully designed and managed website against everyday expenses, it looks like a great deal. But what about compared to business costs?

What Does £30 Get You In the Business World?

A great website represents one of your business’s best advertising tools, so let's compare £30 a month to other advertising methods, shall we? For a 1-page ad in a small publication, you're looking at at least £200, and that's just a one-off! The same goes for newspaper ads that can range anywhere from £250 to astronomical amounts. 

Even billboards can set you back £350-£500 for just a week or two of exposure, so how is that website cost looking now? Online advertising isn't much different either, with pay-per-click campaigns sometimes running into the thousands. Whichever way you look at it, advertising your business can cost a lot of money.

Let’s Face It…Your Business Needs a Website 

Just 28% of UK businesses don’t have a website, and you’re not likely to find them easily - which is a problem! No matter which advertising route you take for your business, you can’t avoid having a website - it’s what modern customers expect. So, given that fact, don’t you want your company website to look good and represent a professional-looking shop window?

What’s more, having a professional web developer design, create and host your website would itself usually cost an arm and a leg. How’s that £30 a month looking now? One set fee every month, and it’s all sorted. No messing around, no lost hours and issues dealt with swiftly and effectively, so no wasting time on hold to the hosting company when your site goes down.

£30 a Month For a Website With None of The Stress 

So, before you dismiss the idea of paying £30 a month for a great-looking website that works for you 24/7, consider what you're getting for the money. You get all the designing, creating and managing taken care of for you, and you're spared all the hassle and stress that comes with maintaining it. That sounds like a good deal, wouldn't you say?
