Notoriously impossible question I know, but I'm just after a range, or a shouldn't-be-any-more-than...or would-not-be-less-than...Anyway...
A social networking site similar to http://beta.razoo.com/ with the funky tag cloud, forum etc.
Users would have registration, log on facilities. A text editor similar to the one found on Blogger.com or any other blog site.
So it's a hefty site with lots of user-generated pages.
Anyway, tell me what you guys think. If you want me to elaborate on anything let me know. Cheers!

A complex multi-users site with admin backend and CMS (Contents Management System) can cost anything from 1600€ to 10000€+!
The most important thing is to draw your specifications clearly, to do not leave anything to chance or anything "open-ended".
It is also important to choose the "right" support (or operating system). Using any front end editor (such as Dreamweaver), will make a crap code and lead you to a dead end very soon. Purchase of expensive add-ons will come as a nice surprise later on. Using any window or microsoft based server will also hit you hard.
To avoid at all costs: ASP (Microsoft) and window servers.
The way: Unix server, apache OS, HTML, Javacript, PhP and MySQL are the way forward, no price surprise and most of it free.
You can learn these 4 languages faster than learning how to use Dreamweaver, and you will write better code.

Good luck.

That definitely is a touch question. Building the website is one thing, having the backend for performance is another thing. Probably could be build for a thousand or so, maybe a bit more or less. But hosting and advertising and marketing is going to be a lot more - not just the site building. Do you already know what your end result is going to be? X customers coming in and conversion rate of Y% ..etc? That will give you an idea of traffic and then if your website is Zkbytes large per transfer that should give you an idea of bandwidth I would choose a hosting company that scales well also so you can start small and then go big Or learn to use Amazon Cloud Computing

I know someone who charged £2000 to create a database driven website that listed restaurants in an area. People could log in and create a listing and add photos etc. People could also do reviews. There was an admin area behind it for moderation. I think this cost was just to supply code without any added support. Lots of places charge per year, then if you fail to pay you are left with a load of code that you know nothing about. I'd say do it yourself, php and mysql isn;t so bad!!!!

It depends on number of pages and whether you need plain HTML/PHP/Flash
So I would say $10-$50 per web page.

depending on your scaling and design issues it can vary quite a bit. I've built one for $3200US and I've just finished another enterprise level one for 13,000US. There are several "create your own social networking" sites out there. You can also try out the beta for microsoft's new PopFly, which is a nice tool for creating web2.0 applications without coding.

Have you considered doing it yourself. I have a domain that is using Mambo and am willing to let others use it to learn on.
