Thread: Creating a website

How much would it cost me to create/design a website( paying someone to do it ) and maintaining the website?

I don't need much, maybe 2 or 3pages Like a where I can put my music to traffic game developers or music artists to it.

I just wanted like an estimate, just to know what to expect and what I need. I don't plan on actually doing this until late this year.

Websites are fairly cheap, I'd say it will cost you maybe $30 to start up and then $20 a year, depending on how much storage and traffic you have.

Designing a website is actually fairly easy, and if all you need is a portfolio for you to put your stuff in, then you could design it yourself pretty easily with just a few hours of reading about HTML and CSS. Unless you want a really good uploading solution (putting your stuff on the site), then you're not really going to need to learn anything like PHP or javascript or other crazy stuff. It should be fairly cheap to get somebody to do it, and I wouldn't be surprised if somebody on here would do it for you for free. I have a design somewhere I used for my own website, that I could give you, just as a reference maybe.

$0 - SoundCloud - Your Sound, At The Heart.

If you paid for the Hosting and storage, I'll do everything else for free. I'm getting into the Web business. I could sure use something for my portfolio.

Here's on of mine I'm working on for myself: mgswalkthroughs.com

Edit:

Quick question: If it's music, what made you decide not to just use Youtube? You just want like your own page?

I'm going to do the youtube thing to. But i need a website so that I can sell my music on. Digital Distribution.

Something like this, but not exactly like this of course: JESPER KYD ONLINE

By the way your site looks good Louie

You might want to look into Amazon CreateSpace to manage the sales?

That's a good looking website that could be done for sure.

I just realized that I may not have the time now to constantly update. How often do you think?
