Hello nairalanders, especially the webmasters, I want to know the cost involved in setting up a functional website . From building to when it will appear on a Google Search page.
What are the secrets in order to b successful?
What are your challenges?

A basic website of 5 pages cost as low as 20-25k.
If you want a dynamic website or portal, esp where user sign up before accessing then be ready to budget extra.
To appear on Google search page is not a day's work. Your site needs to really be designed with SEO(Search engine optimization) in mind.
It has got to add value and hold a user's interest.
Getting noticed or doing business online is a highly competitive endeavour. You need a concrete long term plan.
Don't set up a cheap site and expect to make money tomorrow. Don't create low quality blog content with weak grammar and expect returning visitors.
Well, i could write a whole book on these questions. If you are serious, send me an email.

OK bro,

But it will still be helpful if you post it here to help interested individuals learn too.
I'm not interested in owning a blog but a normal standard website that has a domain name like www......com.I can tell you exactly what functions I want it to perform in other to guide your probable cost estimation.I know it's very competitive, thus I want to know if it's worth investing.
* More of a social platform.
* If it's possible, it should have video upload function.
What will it cost to own such a website?
