One thing to keep in mind with costs, is what specific goal or goals you
have for your website. If you already have a lot of customers and
merely want a place to give them all the latest and greatest information about
the farm and your general activities there, then some freebie on Wordpress is a
great way to go. On the other hand, if you're using your website to bring
in more business, for instance if you need folks to find you via Google topic
searches, then a more expensive website *should* give you tools to bring in that
additional traffic. Those tools don't come cheap and a website that
provides those tools won't come cheap either. And thirdly, if you're using
your website to disseminate very detailed information about specific products,
orders, charges, invoices, etc, that will also cost something. For
instance if you've got an online weekly ordering system where folks put in
product quantities and/or pay online, via some kind of shopping cart setup,
those are tools which need to be up to date to provide for smooth
operations. So the cost of the website must also be viewed in terms of
what you expect that website to do for you. Different goals and tasks will
require different amounts of computing power, so will naturally cost different
amounts. If you don't need that functionality, don't pay for it. If
you do need that functionality, it's unlikely that a freebie website
host will provide those tools. Just like a tractor - figure out what jobs
you need it to do, then get something that will get the job done as cost
effectively as possible.
