After a long break, we\u2019re finally continuing our series of posts on the cost of a website<\/a>. In the first article, we shared real-world examples and prices to help you understand what goes into the cost of designing a new website. If you\u2019re interested in actual pricing, I highly recommend starting with the essential first post: how much does a website cost<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Pinning down an exact price is always a challenge, but even though we\u2019ve already provided some ballpark figures, I\u2019ll keep expanding this guide to make it as comprehensive as possible.<\/p>\n

    We\u2019ve already discussed the pricing for the main types of websites and how adding extra features can impact the base cost. We also covered how going for a highly creative site with advanced animations and interactivity can significantly increase the price, as these projects often require complex engineering-level development.<\/p>\n

    In this post, we\u2019ll focus on all the materials that support a website\u2014and how the overall cost can increase if these aren\u2019t provided by the client.<\/p>\n

    How much does a website cost: Images, copy, and other assets are billed separately<\/h2>\n

    Will you provide the website copy, or do you need a copywriting service?<\/h3>\n

    \"cuanto<\/a><\/p>\n

    It goes without saying: the text on your website is crucial. So the question is simple\u2014who will provide the copy? Will you write it yourself, or will you need to hire a professional copywriter?<\/p>\n

    If you\u2019re comfortable writing your own content and know your business inside out, this won\u2019t impact your website\u2019s cost.<\/p>\n

    However, it\u2019s worth noting that there are agencies specializing in content creation who can craft all the copy for your website. If writing isn\u2019t your strong suit, this is often the best option. You\u2019ll get professionally written, error-free content that\u2019s engaging and tailored to your business. After all, your company\u2019s introduction shouldn\u2019t read like a dull block of text that\u2019s harder to swallow than four paracetamols at once.<\/p>\n

    That said, it\u2019s important to strike a balance\u2014not too much text, but not too little either. SEO is another key factor. If you\u2019re hiring a copywriter, make sure they\u2019re trained in writing for the web and can optimize your content for your main keywords.<\/p>\n

    If your website is multilingual, who will handle the translations?<\/h3>\n

    Once you\u2019ve sorted out the copy, consider whether it needs to be translated into other languages\u2014especially if your website will offer visitors the option to switch languages.<\/p>\n

    Just like with copywriting, you can either handle translations yourself (if you\u2019re fluent in the required languages) or hire a professional translation service.<\/p>\n

    Most translation agencies charge per word.<\/p>\n

    Do you have high-quality images and photos?<\/h3>\n

    If you want to showcase your company\u2019s facilities, do you have up-to-date, high-quality photos? If so, consider whether these images present your business in the best possible light.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    It\u2019s not uncommon for clients to provide outdated or low-quality photos\u2014sometimes so bad you want to erase your hard drive. Photos from your 2004 website might have been great back then, but now they\u2019re outdated, the quality is poor, and Tony Soprano is standing behind the counter with pens that went out of style years ago. Yes, even pens can go out of style\u2014at least in retro photos.<\/p>\n

    Jokes aside, it\u2019s best to get honest feedback from your designer or web agency about your current images and consider whether…<\/p>\n

    Do you need a professional corporate photo shoot?<\/h3>\n

    There\u2019s little point in investing in a new website if you\u2019re not willing to spend a bit more on professional photography to bring everything together.<\/p>\n

    \"cuanto<\/a><\/p>\n

    A corporate photo shoot is often more affordable than you might think. Professional photos speak volumes about your business, and even the most impressive facilities can look underwhelming online if the images aren\u2019t up to par.<\/p>\n

    As for pricing, a professional corporate photo shoot typically starts at around \u20ac400.<\/p>\n

    Will you purchase stock photos?<\/h3>\n

    If you\u2019d rather not invest in a photo shoot, you can always buy images from a stock photo library. These are usually very affordable and, if chosen carefully, can offer excellent quality.<\/p>\n

    Stock photo sites offer a huge variety of images just a click away.<\/p>\n

    The average price for a stock photo is about \u20ac12. If you need six images for your website, \u20ac72 is a worthwhile investment to give your site a much more professional look.<\/p>\n

    There are also free stock photo sites. A few years ago, these free options left a lot to be desired, but today, the quality is surprisingly good. While they may not always match paid libraries, they can be a lifesaver in a pinch.<\/p>\n

    Conclusion<\/h2>\n

    As you can see, the total cost of a website can increase slightly depending on the need for supporting materials\u2014whether that\u2019s copy, translations, or images.<\/p>\n

    To sum up, ask yourself the following:<\/p>\n
