How much does it cost to launch a website?
I’m interested in starting my own blog, but want to have the option to advertise. I will need my own website as opposed to wordpress or other free services.
I’m in the process of hiring a professional to develop and design my site, but I want to have a benchmark rate to compare against.
The work includes:
1. Purchasing domain name
2. Set up hosting
3. Design site – simple site including following functions:
- categories, search, text / image boxes, header, ad placement areas
4. Launch site – I will maintain/ upload new content daily
I live in Vancouver, Canada, if that makes any difference.
Any help will be much appreciated! Thanks in advance

1. $10 – $15 a year
2. $20 – $100 a year depending on what you get and where you get it from
3. Depends on how much the developer charges, probably a few hundred dollars.
