It has been 29 years since the birth of the first website, but the website building industry at home and abroad is still very traditional, and has not developed into a standardized and efficient tool/system that can meet the needs of most enterprises.
The links of website construction include: domain name purchase, website server space, website development, website design, website filing, website deployment and launch, website promotion. In addition to the one-time collection of design and development fees, domain name and space fees are paid annually.
The detailed costs are as follows:
Domain name application: domain names worth from 0 yuan to tens of yuan to thousands of yuan or even hundreds of millions of yuan. Generally speaking, the annual cost of domain names is less than 1000 yuan.
Server purchase:
Independent host: 20000-30000/year, one 1U server, which is divided into server purchase fee and computer room hosting fee.
ECS: Alibaba Cloud Server, for example, costs 510 yuan to 3000 yuan per year, which can basically meet the needs of ordinary enterprises. You can pay monthly, upgrade or downgrade at any time.
Website development: 0 - 1 million yuan
Website design: the cost of a single page is about 300-10000 yuan
Website filing: fee: 0, mainly time cost.
Online website: 0 fee. If you do your own website, it is the labor cost. If you find a website construction company, you will not be charged separately.
Website promotion: some websites do SEO without spending any money. Some websites have been promoted in a large amount, with a promotion cost of more than 100 million yuan a year.
Total: 500 yuan - tens of millions of yuan
Let me introduce the steps and precautions of building a website to you in detail, so that you can build your own website more efficiently:
Step 1: Domain name selection
Tips for selecting domain names:
The shorter the better, easy to remember; With com // com.cn , cn, edu and gov are preferred; Related to brand name. Now good domain names have been snapped up. If your brand name is gone, you may spend tens of thousands of yuan to buy domain names from others. Many people have made their fortunes through domain name transactions.
Steps to apply for domain name:
1: Log in to domain name registration websites, such as Alibaba Cloud (Qianwanwang) in China or Godady in the United States.
There are many domestic domain name service providers, such as Xinwang, Xinwang Internet, and Time Internet, but none of these companies is as reliable as the two brands I mentioned earlier. For the purchase of enterprise services, it is still necessary to choose a big brand that is safe and reliable. I think you certainly do not want to affect the business of the whole company or your personal future because you want to be cheap.
2: Search the domain name you want, and select the domain name suitable for you according to the domain name skills
3: Payment settlement, you can view the domain name you purchased in real time, and remember to pay in the next year
Step 2: Server purchase
Servers are divided into physical servers and cloud servers. Now most people buy cloud servers with higher cost performance.
Independent host: 20000-30000/year, one 1U server, which is divided into server purchase fee and computer room hosting fee.
ECS: Alibaba Cloud Server, for example, costs 510 yuan to 3000 yuan per year, which can basically meet the needs of ordinary enterprises. You can also pay a monthly fee to upgrade or downgrade at any time.
Similar to the steps of applying for domain names, the brands of cloud servers available in China are AliCloud, Tencent Cloud, Baidu Cloud and Huawei Cloud.
Step 3: Website design and development
There are five ways of website development, and the development modules are divided into front-end development and back-end development. This part has the highest technical content and needs professional teams to complete it.
There are five ways to develop websites:
Self service deployment of programs: develop and write code by yourself, mainly for labor costs.
Full custom development: find a website construction company to customize your website and provide source code. Cost: RMB 30000 to millions.
Semi customized development: find a website construction company to develop, use the other party's system for functions, and the design can be customized according to your needs. Generally, source code is not provided. Cost: less than 10000 yuan.
Template self-service website building: the functions and design are all ready made by the website building company. You only need to provide text and domain names. Generally, SaaS tools are used to build your website, with no source code. You do not need to conduct website operation and maintenance later. Expense: within 1000 yuan.
Free website building tools: suitable for personal website building, many free tools are not commercially available. Expense: mainly labor cost.
If you don't have a technical R&D team and don't understand the code yourself, you'd better find a website building company to do it. For example, Alibaba Cloud service provider Clover Internet provides website building services, including template website building, semi customized and fully customized services, as well as China Enterprise Power and Vanke. China Enterprise Power mainly provides customized website building, with a high price, but Vanke's reputation in the industry is not particularly good.

It is worth mentioning that there are at least thousands of website building companies in the country now. If you go to Baidu, you will find a lot of them. But many of them are small in scale, with false high quotations, mixed service personnel, and low reliability. I suggest you first ask your acquaintances to see if you have ever used a better website building company's recommendation. If not, you can try Alibaba Cloud's website building platform. After all, the after-sales service of big brands is guaranteed. Many entrepreneurs around me have suffered losses when building the site. You must shop around and be cautious.
Website development is divided into two modules:
Front end page: including the generation of text, image, media, link, form and table. Background system: including the development of background login system, commodity management, order system, search system, transaction system, etc. There are also more tedious tasks involving database and server construction.
This is a high technical requirement, which needs programmers, artists and operation and maintenance personnel to solve.
Website design is also very important:
If you invite professionals to design pages for you, the cost of a single page is about 300-10000 yuan, depending on the experience and level of the designer. Generally speaking, the website building company can help you design pages. If you prepare DIY, you can also find designers from platforms like Pig Bajie.
Another link is the construction of the website framework. I mean the logical page of your website, and how the various contents are scientifically distributed on the website. Generally speaking, a website has home page, channel page, detail page, product page... You need to figure out how many categories your page has and how each category is organized in an orderly manner. What content is displayed on each page. This is generally the responsibility of the chief editor of the website or the operation director. If you are a small and medium-sized enterprise and have no experience in website planning, you can start from imitation and learn from your peers or websites that you think are doing well.
Web page color matching skills:
A good website can easily establish trust between the company and users. In addition to the speed of opening, web content and other factors, color matching is also one of them. Based on my research on color matching of web pages, I usually use similar colors and complementary colors. The matching of similar colors gives a comfortable and natural visual effect. Complementary color matching is also very bright sometimes.
Step 4: Website filing
Expense: 0 expense, mainly time cost.
Filing process and skills: log on to the website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, click ICP Filing Process, and submit information. Note: Access service providers are required to file. If domain names are purchased in Alibaba Cloud, they will be filed in Alibaba Cloud. If you buy it in other places, you should file it with other service providers.
The last step is to launch the website. If you do your own website, it is the labor cost. If you find a website building company, you will not be charged separately.
Of course, the website is for users to see. With a website, it also needs to lead the website to more precise users, so that the value of the website can be maximized. At present, the main channels and methods are SEO, SEM, new media, information flow advertising, etc. How to do website promotion is another big topic. I'll talk about it later when I have time.
The above is the interpretation of the site building price and steps.
