Simply put, a domain name (or just ‘domain’) is the name of a website. It’s what comes after “@” in an email address, or after “www.” in a web address. If someone asks how to find you online, what you tell them is usually your domain name.

Domains can be purchased by a variety of domain providers. Popular providers to buy domains include: Godaddy, Amazon (AWS), WordPress, Bluehost, and Hostgator. Domain price is highly dependent on industry and simplicity. A good rule of thumb is that simple domains, such as apple.homes, cost more. There are some creative ways to secure a simple domain for low cost.

A content management system, often abbreviated as CMS, is software that helps users create, manage, and modify content on a website without the need for specialized technical knowledge. In simpler language, a content management system is a tool that helps you build a website without needing to write all the code from scratch (or even know how to code at all). A CMS can provide some distinct advantages as they are easy to learn and make rapid changes within the website.

At Yanmu Digital we build a wide variety of websites for various industry sectors. We specialize in building sites for blogs, E-commerce, educational, portfolio, non-profit, business, social media, entertainment, and more. E-Commerce websites are typically the most expensive in terms of cost due to the nature of selling products, tracking inventory, managing invoices, and more. We also have extensive experience building websites for roofing contractors, realtors, equipment distributors, Cannabis producers, restaurants, software companies, biomedical, healthcare, fitness, and much more.

Pricing for a website depends on factors such as: price of domain, price of theme, number of pages, site hosting, third party plugins, and maintenance fees. Websites can range anywhere from $1,000-$10,000. The number of pages also contributes to the cost of building the site. The reason for large range can be contributed to what the website will be used for. E-commerce websites generally cost more than information based websites. A typical website through Yanmu Digital will cost around $1,000-$5,000.

Once payment is received our team will collect the necessary business information that will be used to create the foundations of the website. Domains can be secured rapidly and mapped to the given name servers within 1-2days. A basic website with a home, about us, portfolio, services, and contact page can be completed within 1 week. Complex websites with a large volume of products and services usually take anywhere from 2-3weeks. If the creative copy already exists the website can be created faster.
