Cost scenariosTo give an idea of the real costs involved in having a website, we have created a few, common scenarios. Your company or situation may differ from these, but at the very least they should give you some indication with a checklist for the various items that make up your true cost.
We made a few assumptions:
- That external, technical resources used to update flat-file, hard-coded websites cost $50 per hour. Obviously, your cost may be different, higher or lower.
- That for each hour you spend on external resources, you need to allocate two hours internally to initiate, manage, and pay for those resources.
- That your own, non-technical resources can implement an update in caSaaS web CMS in half the time it takes a technical person to make the same update in a flat-file, hard-coded solution. In most situations that advantage would be far greater.
The scenarios include:
- A "business-card" website containing 1 - 6 pages
- A small website containing 7 - 25 pages
- A bigger website or maybe 2 small websites with a total of 26 - 50 pages
- A mid-sized or big website(s) with more than 50 pages
If your company is a bigger organization, or one with extensive web communications, you may need a website with hundreds or thousands of pages. caSaaS web CMS will easily handle many of those solutions too. And you will most likely have a pretty good idea of the possibilities and advantages already. |
