The answer varies according to the sophistication and volume of the site. You can get a simple site online for around £20 per month ($30) plus fees to PayPal. More sophisticated software is available for under £1,000 ($1,500) or £200 ($300) per month covering all costs. It depends on your needs. Professional site design will increase your costs, but you can still expect to pay around £2,000 - £4,000 (or about $3-6,000) for an average site. Just make sure you leave enough in your budget for marketing your site. No visitors = no sales.
