The actual cost of website ownership comes as a surprise to most owners. We estimate that the acual costs of ownership during the first year are somewhere between 12 and 15 times the original development cost. Roughly 50% of the overall cost is maintenance.
By maintenance, we mean all of the daily work necessary to respond to and improve the website. It is, after all, an enterprise. Fresh content, design improvements, answering the mail, surveying the audience are all a part of site ownership.
When considering the acquisition of a website, be sure that your budget includes an adequate allowance for the overall cost of the site.
The Web is littered with so called "Cob-Websites". They were begun with high ambition and have not been updated since the launch.
Routine daily maintenance is the fundamental key to success in web commerce.
