This is perhaps the ultimate question, and at times, one of the most difficult to answer. The result lies in what you want from a website.
Typically, Maine Web FX designs and programs three types of websites.

1. Static web sites (one with no interactivity such as blogs, comments, etc.).

2. Content management systems (sites with user logins, comments, blogs, self-edit capabilities and the like).

3. E-commerce sites (shopping carts, etc.)

Here is a general breakdown of the pricing.

A static website will cost you about $100 per page (depending on the number of graphics). Adding in photo galleries will boost a the price a bit, but for average sites, $100 per page seems about accurate. Mind you, a single page website will usually cost about $300 as the main design elements are first done in the first page - lowering the cost for each additional page.

A content management system will average anywhere from $2,000 to $5,000 as it includes programming and database functions. Moreover, content management systems are much better for expanding the site in the future as well as bringing visitors back to your site as the basic plans include the ability to leave comments, participate in forums, sign up for newsletters and more.
Content management systems, though costing more initially, are the standard for websites now, taking full advantage of the many trends and functions now available online. The most popular sites you visit are content management systems, including YouTube, Yahoo News, FaceBook and MySpace.

E-Commerce sites are the most complex and sometimes the most expensive sites we build. E-commerce sites should always take advantage of content management systems for inventory and orders, but also include the added functions needed for a shopping cart.
In general, a well-working custom e-commerce site will start at $2,000.
