What does a website actually cost? Well that depends on what you need. A basic site or blog with no ongoing support can cost around $300-$500. If you need a specific site with modules attached for custom forms like booking forms, email forms, calender’s, RSVP forms or you require a restaurant menu and reservations system this is were the price is more than $500.

As an example think like this a site like virginaustralia.com.au would have cost well over $60,000 why? well it has to connect to their back end systems (software) like Finance, Distribution, HR, etc etc and to do this takes a lot of man hours of writing specialty code and it has to be connected to their specialized payment gateway in order to take payments

content management system (CMS) is a computer application that allows publishing, editing and modifying content, organizing, deleting as well as maintenance from a central interface. Such systems of content management provide procedures to manage workflow in a collaborative environment. These procedures can be manual steps or an automated cascade. CMSs have been available since the late 1990s.

CMSs are often used to run websites containing blogs, news, and shopping. Many corporate and marketing websites use CMSs. CMSs typically aim to avoid the need for hand coding, but may help it for specific elements or entire pages.
