What is the cost of building a website with an iPhone
We can divide the cost associated with a website into two categories: setup cost and running cost.
Setup cost is mainly related to content creation and editing. If you need some help from professionals (web designers, copywriters, photographers etc.) to help you setup your website, these costs can range from a couple of hundred dollars to a couple of thousand dollars.
Running costs are mainly attributed to website hosting services, which is often included in the price of the website builder app (A domain name of your own is an optional additional cost of this kind). If you make a website to promote an event you need to pay the website hosting until the event date. On the other hand, if you make a website to support your brick-and-mortar business, you will need to pay the running costs for your website as long as your business is running.
To reduce the running costs of your website you may want to look closely at the yearly price list below.
