Companies, both large and small, want to know what a website will cost them before moving forward with such an investment. Unfortunately, there is no exact answer that can be provided without knowing their unique set of business needs first. Very much like asking how much a house costs, the answer depends on a variety of factors, including how big it is, what features are needed, the location, and the layout.

While smaller businesses can get away with a relatively cheap informational website ranging from $3,000-$5,000, if the website is the backbone of your revenue model, you can expect that the additional required functionality to increase the cost. Typically, medium-sized business websites in 2016 can cost anywhere from $8k to $20k, while large (or web-based) businesses can expect to pay $10-100k+ for a website. These increased costs are all related to the amount of functionality. The more expensive websites have web application development needs (where specific business, membership, or complex e-commerce tasks are carried out).

In this age of smartphones and high-speed Internet, we’ve come to expect everything to be available from anywhere, immediately. As a result, one of the fastest ways to annoy visitors of your website is by making them wait for your site to load. No one has ever enjoyed waiting for what they want. It isn’t always the website’s fault that a page is loading slowly, but there are several things you can do to minimize load times for most users. It doesn’t matter if you’re a programmer, designer, or just someone posting content to your website, you can speed up your website.

We are excited to be rolling out a brand new online system that allows the high school and college faculty to collaborate on student development through curriculum improvement. Specifically, we are designing a Content Management System (CMS) website for the school to address any "gaps" between the high school and college curricula in the areas of Biology and Chemistry.

We will keep you posted once this website is published, although the actual collaboration functionality will be limited to Palm Beach County Educational faculty.
