Worth it
If you look at the bottom of most websites it tells who is in charge of the website or who built it. The thing about it is....1000 or 2000 or 5000 dollars for a great website is worth it. If you think about how much print ads cost in a newspaper or radio ads or even a billboard for a ONE TIME use....then a website is a no brainer because you can use it for years, you can use it to sell tickets, post pictures, do everything. Most people look at the website first and determine whether they want to go....so it should be your priority. With this said...keep it updated and current and your website is your biggest marketing tool besides word of mouth. It will pay for itself.

If your looking for web designers from the haunt industry, be sure to check out our Web Designer area in our Haunter Resources on HauntersDigest.com at http://www.hauntersdigest.com/catego...urces/webdevs/
I've designed some sites for the haunt industry and the one thing that I recommend that you consider using is WordPress to build your site on. It's free and you can switch themes with the push of a button. And long term you will save some money because you just have to replace the theme instead of building a completely new website from the ground up, you can handle updates to the text on the site yourself using the administration section vs paying your web developer hourly fees to change some text on a static page, and it allows you the freedom to do what you want with your site on your schedule. When your ready for a new look, you just need to hire a Wordpress theme designer (which there are a ton) when your wanting a new look for your site and because all your data is already in the wordpress database, all you have to do is just install the new theme created by your designer. Takes less than 20 seconds to install a new theme.
A good Wordpress designer can charge you anywhere between $500 - $1500 depending on the complexity of the theme, design elements and what all bells and whistles your wanting. If you have any questions, feel free to drop me a line and I can help to point you in the right direction.News and event coverage from directly inside the Haunt Industry - http://www.hauntersdigest.com

If you were designing and building a haunted house, would you hire a general contractor because they can build a building or would you seek out haunt professionals like Larry or Leonard to help you as they have the experience your going to need to help you avoid problems and delays in designing and building great haunted houses.News and event coverage from directly inside the Haunt Industry - http://www.hauntersdigest.com
