I suppose this would be the best place to ask - I haven't done any web development for years and I am really out of touch

My wife wants a simple web presence for her new sewing business.

She wants a simple website consisting of a home page, contact page, a page that says a bit about her and 5 galleries (clickable thumbnails with larger image and a little bit of text with each picture)
+Hosting
+Domain registration
+an e-mail address

How much should I expect to pay to get this developed?

domain will be cheap as chips couple of quid and email comes free with some of the domains just need to setup a forewarding account hosting is a tricky one without knowing how much bandwidth your going to use and how big the pictures are that are going to be stored maybe one of the other guys can help with that

Get the hosting and domain separately. Suggest you look at the OcUK host review for this. This way you keep full control over these parts.

The website, sounds very basic. A decent web design firm should be able to knock that up in a day given all the materials. I'd say max of £450 to £500.

Have a look on freelancers.net, post on there. Get some very good designers on there who can cut the cost. Maybe down to £250 to £350.

Don't worry so much about hoe much bandwidth, this isn't something you can really tell at the moment. Sign up with a decent web host, and then you can increase the bandwidth as and when you need it.

Yeah that shouldnt cost any more than a few hundred if you go down the freelancer path.

if the website is simple, you can consider a Sitebuilder which is offered with hosting package. This will save your designing costs
