If you are a startup or small business, you need to think carefully about the features you require. When you have a concept for a site, you will no doubt have many ideas of the features you think you are going to need. But a lot of people will think of every single possibility, find a web designer and then be baffled by the price they come back with.

A lot of features you won't need straight away, take for example a newsletter mailer, do you really need this on a brand new site? How many customers do you expect to sign up to your newsletter in the first 6 months? If that number is over a thousand then maybe, just maybe it would be worth it. However a lot of the time, these features can be added in later, saving you money and securing your relationship and investment with the web design company you choose to go with.

If your company is brand new, you would be a lot better off spending that money on SEO to get your name out there and increase your rankings, rather than a feature you won't be able to use for a year or a feature that you really don't need as you don't have the visitors to see it (Say for example a news section).
