Subtract from our £400 offer price, the value of the search engine tools, the value of the search engine optimisation guide, and the value of hosting included in our price, you are left with a value of £170. This is the price you pay for the design, structuring, composition, and upload of your website by Reproweb. It also includes creation of emails, a sitemap, an online website visitor analysis account, and submission of your website to search engines.
However, if you feel £170 is too much for a professionally designed website, uploaded and fully configured for you, what alternatives are there, and what are their advantages and disadvantages?

The time spent understanding and installing the CMS and it's template, is likely to cost you more than £170. You would also need to buy tools to help you ensure your site is optimised for search engines - these are included in our price. You would also need to rent a business level hosting service that will cost you more than the Reproweb hosting service. Click here to review hosting costs

The website will be awkward to update, and the site will not be as search engine friendly - making it an almost pointless exercise. Functionality will be very limited. The time taken to build it yourself may well cost you more than the £170 that we charge. |

Limited Search Engine Optimisation Tools. Limited flexibility. Often not as user-friendly. Will take a number of hours to understand and add your own content and navigation structure. |

Very time consuming, with an outcome that often does not portray the professional image you deserve (and need) for your company. The site will not be search engine friendly, which makes it a pointless exercise.
