The designers and cost: Today a business web site costs as low as Rs 5,000 per year. This cost includes one-year domain registration (domain name is your company's web address, which remains your asset), web site designing and one year basic web hosting and free web site update for up to one year. To find a list of web designers go to the address: http://dmoz.org/Regional/Asia/Nepal/Business_and_Economy/Internet/Web_Design/ For personal home page many prefer to use free servers such as geocities.com netfirms.com anglefire.com, etc. Many of the free servers also provide free online web designing tools so one can develop home page without any prior experience.

In an interview with a manager of Visit Nepal Network P Ltd, Durbar Poudel says, "Roughly about 5 new Nepali websites are possibly born here in Nepal every week. He said, "Currently the situation in the country is bad so many developers are not finding the domestic business. If there were more Internet users, you could expect to see much wider Nepali web than today. "

Web Advertisement in Nepal : While web advertisement remains the most cost-effective media to reach a wider audience, the idea of advertising on websites has yet to be materialized in Nepal. Many popular portals receive as much as 250 unique visitors daily. This is a satisfactory number considering the number of minimal Internet users in Nepal. A typical web advertisement (web banner) can be displayed 24 hours, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, advertisement is capable of reaching anyone living in the world, and the advertisement concept and designs are always offered free of cost. While the cost of such advertisement is less than Rs 10 per day, and benefits are unnumbered, Nepalese web sites particularly of the business groups, continue to ignore web advertisement.. Currently, there is a need to empower the business organizations and public about the benefits of web advertisement, which would ultimately encourage newcomers in the web design and push the old ones to create better sites.
