I'm promoting a movie I was involved in and have to design a website. How much can I expect to spend to have someone do this?
Most indy movie websites, have this kind of look. http://www.sarahskey.com.au/ It doesn't have the big blocks of menu items, no side menu running down the left side, no external links or banners. More fluid looking. It's a self distribution and we basically need a synopsis, cast bios, trailer, and we need the ability to stream the movie for a fee and sell DVD's through it. Before anyone asks it's not a porno site, however, thinking about it, we need a fairly similar set up to adult websites I guess. Just one movie though, not several. How much money to do this in a way that looks professional and doesn't have you goto a google checkout site or something like that when it's time to enter your credit card number. |

I've recently been looking at a bunch of different movie sites and these days, alot of people go with a very simple template... and let social media do the work. Basically they feature links to Facebook and twitter. You can sell the movie easily with a Paypal cart. As for streaming, that's another story. I'd probably look to Amazon and see what services they offer. You can also do rentals now through Youtube. |
| currently, i am studying web design and interactive media for a second bachelor's degree. after finding someone to do it, you will have to pay for a domain name and whatever the person quotes you. if it is gonna handle a lot of traffic and you want a bunch of cool shit on the page or pages (which will increase the price) it'll probably be a few thousand dollars. however, i have one more year of school left (holding a 4.o gpa) and i have yet to take on a client yet to tell you the entire process and a proper estimate for a quote |

Check out wordpress they may have some kind of site installation that would allow you to design your own site fairly easily. I would start there as they have a great forum as well. If you have any questions about it (wordpress) feel free to IM me, been using this type of install for work for about a year now.
