Cost of designing a website and content creation in Kenya and beyond varies depending on the various factors that include:

  • Total hosting period in years
  • The hosting space for the domain measured in MB/GB
  • Number of emails per domain
  • Type of content for example graphics and video websites would cost more than mere text
  • Number of pages for the completed website with a normal site having six pages, though you can have a single page site
  • Functionality of the website for example ecommerce website or informational and static, never changing website, an interactive application with forms
  • Other addons to improve and secure the website domain

All the above factors, though not conclusive, majorly dictate how much it will cost one to have a website up and running.

When the website is up and running, it needs to be maintained, updated and have fresh content regularly to ensure it is up-to-date.  This is where content creation comes in. To have the information on the website updated, you have to provide the content needed, be it text, pictures or videos of what the particular domain owner is doing. The content can range from free news or advice to premium content available to subscribers only or have to be purchased.

If using a Content Management System, updates would include updates to the CMS itself, themes and different plugins used to enhance functionality and other functionalities that the CMS or theme doesn't provide. Any deactivated or unused, yet installed themes and plugins should be deleted as old versions of the same poses a security risk to the entire website.
