Can anyone give me an idea how much it might cost to have a simple company website built?  (incl registering domain name).  It would only include contact info, a list of projects/clients and some photos.  We would supply all content and graphics ourselves.

My brother is a graphic and a website designer.  I've seen his work and it is verrrry professional looking.  I can ask him how much he would charge for a basic site like what you have mentioned, if you wish.

  ADD:  And I know another guy who can build websites.  I'll ask him as well.

Thanks, purelife!  I have a guy in mind, but was just wondering if rates were the same across the industry.
 If he can't do it right now, I'd love to talk to your brother!

For what you've described, anywhere from a few hundred dollars to a couple of thousand. More likely the former (hundreds) than the latter (thousands). It depends a lot on the site's design- the template that defines the look and feel of the site itself. If you supplied the template or design, a few hundred dollars would be reasonable.
The real trouble with reality is that there's no background music.

Just wanted to let you know that I messaged my brother just now.  I'll let you know if he's available to do this (not sure of his schedule), if he can't, I'll ask my other friend.

Why not just design the website yourself, Lil Me? It's not as hard as it may seem and there are easy, professional looking free templates on the website to help you on your way.

Hey Lil Me, I'm with Lise on this. There are a bunch of places to buy 'canned' websites if you are just looking for a basic site. Here is one from Network Solutions that starts at $4.95 month and that includes registering your domain name.

Hey purelife, what's the link to your brother's portfolio web site? I'm curious!

Thanks Lise and P.C. for your suggestions.  I will check them out (when I have time- *sigh* and figure out how long it would take to throw a simple website together.  If the time commitment is too great, we'll definately find a web designer.  Neither of us can afford to use "client time" for silly things like IT and websites.)

Oh!  Ha!  My bad.  P.C. and Sawdust are NOT interchangable personalities!

In my life, I created two websites.  I remember using Microsoft Frontpage but I'm sure that we have better software.  I'm with you on trying to do one yourself rather than pay a web designer.  It definitely gets to be expensive.

  Munra!, sorry, I don't think my brother has a portfolio website showcasing his work.  

  ADD:  Did you used to post on DV?  I seem to recognize your name.
