What to budget for.
THE RECURRING COSTS
Domain registration, annually Hosting, monthly or annually Any premium themes or plugins, usually annually Payment gateway fees, per transaction Email sending service, if you send campaigns
THE ONE-OFF COSTS
Website design and build, if you do not do it yourself Photography Content writing Logo and branding
WHAT PEOPLE FORGET TO BUDGET
Maintenance. Updates, backups and fixes are ongoing, whether you do them or pay someone. Renewals. Introductory prices are frequently lower than renewal prices. Check what you will actually pay next year. Exchange rate movement, since many upstream costs are priced in dollars.
KEEPING IT LOW
Do the content yourself Use a free theme Start with a modest hosting plan and upgrade when needed Take your own photographs
WHAT NOT TO ECONOMISE ON
Domain renewal. Losing a domain costs far more than renewing it. Backups. A rebuild costs more than any backup arrangement.
