Why Pay for Something You Don’t Get?
Most website development companies will not give you a straight quote right up front. Their price is based on difficulty of programming, payroll obligations, overhead, travel time, subcontractors, bells and whistles, etc. However, in today’s world of pre-programmed themes, plugins and widgets, paying thousands of dollars for a typical website is simply not necessary.
Web Content Store works exclusively in the WordPress realm. Combined with our decades of HTML, CSS and JavaScript experience – as well as extensive copywriting experience – we are able to create a beautiful, affordable website customized to your every need.
Web Content Store has easy-to-understand website development pricing. Just start with the basic package and add any embellishments that best fit your needs and budget.
