Calculator questions
What costs do people forget when building a website themselves?
Domain renewals (often higher than the first-year price), business email, paid tiers once a free plan runs out, ecommerce apps, payment processing fees, backups and monitoring, and the value of their own time spent building and fixing.
Why does the calculator start with blank amounts?
Software and hosting prices change often and depend on the plan you pick. Enter the current price from each provider so your total reflects what you will actually pay.
How are yearly costs counted in the monthly total?
Yearly items are divided by 12 and added to the monthly running cost, so you can compare everything on one monthly figure. The first-year total adds one-time costs, your time and twelve months of running costs.
Is a DIY website cheaper than hiring a web designer?
In cash, usually yes. Once you count your hours, ongoing maintenance and the risk of security or SEO mistakes, the gap narrows. Use the time fields to see where your break-even sits.
